Hi there! I am Jenny Barkan, and I am a certified business coach with almost 20 years of corporate world experience and more than seven years of coaching experience. My educational background is Law and Psychology & Management, but my passion always was to help people live better lives at and outside of work. That is why I received formal training as a Life and Business Coach at Erickson Coaching International Institute, Vancouver, and became a member of the International Coaching Federation.
I believe leaders play a crucial role in creating a healthy, engaging, motivating, and accommodating environment, whether they lead two or two thousand people. We spend long hours at work; therefore, how we are treated and feel about ourselves tremendously impacts all areas of our lives.

Thankfully, effective and emotionally intelligent leadership is a learned skill, and this is where my expertise and passion are.

Over the years, I developed close relationships with HRPA. I am an active member of the HRPA Speakers Bureau and was invited to deliver training to over half a dozen HRPA Chapters all over Ontario. I am also involved in a coaching community and serve as a Director of Membership & Volunteering within ICF Toronto Charter Chapter. I am a big supporter of science-based coaching and often share the latest developments in neuroscience during my webinars and training.

In my spare time, I am a devoted dog mom, a bit of a bookworm and a wine lover.
