"Jess has been an extraordinary thought partner to me by seamlessly bridging the gaps between organizational strategy, data and evaluation work, and people development. Further, Jess has served as a trusted advisor to our executive team by strengthening the alignment between our mission and our operational practices. Her ability to frame and document challenges in a clear and action-oriented way has empowered our team to address complex problems with confidence and focus. Further, Jess brings a rare combination of analytical rigor, strategic insight and effective coaching to ensure our data and evaluation work not only informs but also enhances our decision-making. Jess’ impact on our organization has been transformational and I am deeply grateful for her dedication and expertise. It has truly been an absolute joy and privilege working with her!" - Adanta A., Chief Program Officer, COOP Careers

"Jess has served as one of our inaugural Coaching for Leaders Fellows -- and I couldn't be more thrilled with all she's brought to our members and listeners. She's extraordinarily well-versed in knowledge and practices for organizational development and quickly locates the right resource for others. Her insights for deploying the right tool for the situation led her to develop and analyze a membership-wide survey that helped us improve several member benefits that were immediately noticed and appreciated by many. I often hear about how helpful Jess's coaching conversations with our members are. She's such a positive force in our community!” - Dave Stachowiak, Founder & Host, Coaching for Leaders

“Jess is equally comfortable and skilled facilitating an executive team or board to develop organizational strategy as she is working hand-in-hand with staff on a technical study that will help you know if your organization's good intentions have an equal impact. It's hard to find a problem for which she doesn't have just the right skill, knowledge, and tools to solve. She operates by building deep, trusting relationships with her clients and colleagues. You can count on her to distill complex challenges into very approachable and actionable steps, and present highly technical information in ways that everyone understands. I've been fortunate to know Jess for a decade and to have worked with her directly for seven years. I speak from firsthand experience when I say you'll not only enjoy the results, you'll enjoy the process of working with Jess. She brings joy and a love for doing good for others into all of her work. I highly recommend Jess Britt to all of my friends who are looking for a consultant who can marry data and effective strategy.” —Garrett Yursza Warfield, Ph.D., Chief Research & Impact Officer for large U.S. nonprofits

“A much belated thank you for your time on the call with me last week and for [your] thorough and rich follow up. I had very low expectations for our [coaching] time together (nothing personal, just how much is really possible with a stranger in 30 minutes?) but I was clearly misguided!" - CHRO, Community College
