I’m proud of my clients’ success.

Jodi worked with me on mapping out the complex aspects that make up my professional behavior. Every meeting with Jodi was highly productive as she does a fantastic job helping you highlight the blind spots in your business acumen.

She helped me look inward into the ‘Why’ behind my ‘Why’. She has years of experience from career coaching/ HR/ business ownership, so she knows exactly what interviewers are looking for. There was not a wasted breathe because of Jodi’s help! The insight gained from her coaching allowed me to be able to tell people who I am as a sales professional, and how I can directly influence their business positively.

It was so easy for me to open up to her because she carries no judgement in assessing who you are and what you want out of a career. If you are looking for a career change or need help finding other entrepreneurial avenues, Jodi is your person!

Campbell Roscoe, the ‘Why’ behind my ‘Why

Back in August of 2021, Jodi Oren, a Career Coach with The Entrepreneur’s Source reached out to me on LinkedIn to inquire about my career goals and if I’ve ever considered business ownership as a possibility. Her inquiry was met with skepticism but that did not deter her – why would this “stranger” be contacting me? She was patient, positive and encouraging…never forced business ownership upon me but got to know me, my strengths, my goals and my aspirations. I am so thankful she did!

I ended up choosing to utilize my teaching, coaching and training skills but this time with fur-babies and their owners. I chose (and was chosen) to be a part of a highly successful and one of the fastest growing dog training franchises in the United States…Always Faithful Dog Training…founded by a former United States Marine K-9 handler. It is leadership-based training techniques…NO TREATS, NO CLICKERS, NO SHOCK COLLARS, NO GIMMICKS!

I am beyond excited (and a little scared) for this new chapter in my professional career. I am so thankful that Jodi Oren reached out to me and was patient with my discovery journey and choosing the Always Faithful Dog Training franchise. I have a new friend whose advice and insight has been extremely valuable throughout this process and will forever be a part of our story and journey moving forward.

Pam Peetz, Journey to a faithful business moving forward

Go where there is no path!! Jodi thank you so much for our coaching session last week! The personality analysis you recommended and walked me through was spot on – clear on my strengths and encouraging! I can’t wait for our next session! So glad I followed up on this offer!!

Lillian Kiwanuka – Go…

I hope my words can capture my thoughts on one of the most compassionate, attentive, and caring humans on the planet. Jodi and I worked together over a few months as she guided my transition into another career and truthfully, I don’t know where I would be without her. She has the unique ability to listen to your story and coach you toward areas of work that make you feel seen and known. Even during the moments when I lacked clarity and was second guessing Jodi remained a rock and a lifeline. She intentionally crafted environments to explore my thoughts and passions and helped me learn how to apply my skills into building something new. If you find yourself in a season of transition stop whatever you are doing and give Jodi a call. She is the light that will guide you out of darkness and into whatever is next. I am blessed to call her a coach and a friend!

Ken Norton, something new

I was hesitant with speaking with Jodi at first because of past interactions with other’s in this industry. But I am so happy that I decided to meet with her. Immediate connection! Two kindred spirits! The conversation was full of affirmation and confirmation. I DID NOT expect that and the trajectory of my outlook for what’s next was brighter after our session! Thank you Jodi

Terrence Kessee, What’s next is brighter

Jodi is a beautiful soul who is true to her words and cares greatly about each of her clients. She will never take sides and will give you honest feedback. She will be your winning star if you need to start a support system. She has helped me find my way through ALL of the options and continues to encourage me and my family to pursue our passions.

Mandy Spurgin, Found my way

Jodi has been absolutely incredible to work with during my career transition. I was a part of mass layoffs from a major company earlier this year which created a desire for myself to have greater control of my career and long term wealth.

Jodi takes the time to truly get to know you, your strengths, and what you are passionate about so she can connect you with the best possible opportunities.  Not only is she thorough in that part of the process, but she is very well connected when it comes to anything that can potentially come up while you are working towards opening the doors. I would 100% recommend her for anyone looking to take greater ownership of their career and hope to work with her more in the future for additional opportunities.

 

Tyler Florkowski, Taking greater ownership

Jodi is a fantastic resource. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I met with Jodi for the first time, but I knew from the first conversation she was an instrumental resource. She is attentive, thoughtful, knowledgable, and really puts your best interest first. She opened my eyes to a whole new world of opportunities, pushed me out of my comfort zone, and showed me what I was capable of. I will continue to stay connected with Jodi and I would recommend anyone to take Jodi up on a meeting if they are given the opportunity.

Shannon Rankin, a whole new world

When you are a good leader and searching for something different, Jodi is that person to help you through. Through her strategic process I was provided a thoughtful space to pontificate.  Just because you are good at what you do, doesn’t mean you have to stay where you are.  Purpose was absent and I needed to generate options. I could find a new role, switch companies, retire, start my own business, or invest in another business.  Jodi didn’t even let me go to my options, until she knew who I was and what was important to me and my kin. It was refreshing to go into a discovery learning process. It’s an honor to recommend Jodi Oren as a career coach that can get to the core.  Do that first, you’ll be glad you did.

JT, Leading from the core

First of all, I can’t express in written text how awesome it was to work with Jodi and to have her as a career coach. She reached out to me when I was looking into creating a new career for myself and my vision was basically blank and obscure. With her vast background of tools and skills, she was able to guide me, show me new directions, and help me rediscover my hidden talents. Most of all, she helped me identify what truly impassioned me towards a job and a career. Your interests and direction are her priority. Her compassion and drive for your success are an added plus. If you are in need of a career coach, I highly recommend Jodi Oren. You won’t be disappointed.

Tom Rominski, Business Owner

Rediscovered hidden talents

Jodi was very helpful to me as my career came to a crossroads. Her advice, experience, tools and patience were a big help to me in deciding what is best for my future. If you find yourself wondering what is next I highly recommend you reach out to her. You will come away with an expanded understanding of all of your opportunities.

Career Crossroads

I was stuck in a company where I didn’t feel valued, while putting all my energy into trying to get somewhere.  Yet, I was drained at the end of the day and not present for my family. Jodi met me at a time I needed to really process where I was at, feeling stuck and not seeing clearly.  Her time coaching me was like that conversation with a trusted ally that really heard me and provided a transformational step in my career & life.  She has reminded me through tools, conversation & assessment of the value and strengths I offer. I know my contributions are not in vain, maybe not appreciated, but my worth in not to be discounted in the absence of recognition. I’m on a journey & so appreciative of Jodi’s listening & questions as I process my possibilities ahead. Have that conversation, so you can start living up to your potential.  J.K.

Moved from discouraged to a new journey

A true career coach who walks with you.

Jodi is phenomenal! Her assessments, tools, and insights are spot on. She’s a true career coach who walks with you. What’s even more special is she’s become a friend. I’ve learned tons from her and I’m grateful to have crossed her path.

Wistaria Joseph, SPHR, MBA, Military Veteran

Jodi is a professional career coach who keeps her client’s best interest in mind. She considered the goals for me and my family. Her call was the day I shifted my focus to pursue the life I wanted to live.  She stayed with me while I set my goals and timeline to identify a business.  She helped me consider options from my own start up, acquisitions and franchise business models.  She helped me find funding experts for the business in which I ultimately invested.  It is with gratitude I recommend Jodi to anyone wanting to explore business ownership possibilities.  I had more options than I realized.  Kudos to you Jodi.

Take the time to explore. Manoj T.

Jodi is encouraging to work with! Patient in listening, reflective in response, I found she was unafraid to confront me with the questions I needed to answer before I could move into problem solving career moves. I would not have had the courage to switch industries without her.

JOLYN SWAIN, SMALL BUSINESS OWNER

“Jodi is a talented career coach who’s an active listener and takes your best interests to heart. I highly recommend working with Jodi’s methodology to reveal one’s true personal strengths and navigate a new career direction. Jodi goes above and beyond any coach I’ve ever worked with to determine the most satisfying and rewarding career options.“  

Tracy T, The process helped!

Jodi took the time and worked one on one coaching me using various tools. Her detailed knowledge enabled me to better define my true mission statement.

My true mission

“I was traveling across the country working in corporate sales and one day I realized that I didn’t want to travel anymore! That’s when I began to think about owning my own business. I began working with my Career Ownership Coach who helped me begin my Journey of Discovery. For me, it was a great process. I was learning about what excited and motivated me, but also what didn’t! That was just as important. I am so happy I went on the “journey,” and was also happy to have my coach along with me. She was a very good listener, genuinely interested in my long-term success. and challenged me to see some things I didn’t even see in myself.”

LEE PUTNAM, New Business Owner

“Being an entrepreneur was always an idea in my head, but to be honest, I thought when I got to the point in my life that I had a family, that that ship had sailed. My wife and I met with our Career Ownership Coach and found The Entrepreneur’s Source® to be a valuable tool throughout our discovery process. Now, as a business owner I have not only raised nearly $1 million dollars for schools in my community, but I work hard, and I get the flexibility to do what I want to do when I want to do it.”

MICHAEL SCROOPE, New Business Owner

“I had worked for 15 years in the world of corporate finance when I was forced to make a sudden exit. I had always thought to myself, I have this great corporate job, I’m on easy street. But I was really in the wrong place at the wrong time. I had no control over my own destiny. My Career Ownership Coach helped me take a close look at Franchising to achieve self-sufficiency.Franchising was a better choice for me rather than starting a business from the ground up. I have a good sense of how things should run and customer service but I tend not to be strong on the sales side and frankly, I am not the stereotypical idea-man. A franchise is giving you the playbook, and you have a product. In my mind a lot of the basics have been built, you just need to follow the proven system. When friends are approaching those exit ramps in life, the first thing I tell them to do is to connect with a Career Ownership Coach at The Entrepreneur’s source.”
