Working with Jen is an incredible experience. They are creative and innovative thinkers who delivered well beyond my (high) expectations on a recent program. Feedback from the program participants was universally stellar. Jen is an engaging speaker and an inspiring teacher. I very much look forward to working with Creative Lawyers again.
I cannot speak highly enough about Jen’s ability to seamlessly facilitate an engaging and impactful hybrid/virtual workshop. She has a knack for breaking down barriers in a room and quickly getting down to business in a relatable, interesting, inspiring, thought-provoking, and very practical way. Jen is artful in her ability to engage all participants and deliver content that inspires creativity and innovation in a time when those two things are needed more than ever in the legal industry. “Relevant, Engaging, Effective and Awesome!” And, “Loved EVERYTHING about Jen’s workshop” were just a few of the rave reviews our global team of high achievers had to say about Jen. She is a rare gem in this industry.
Jen’s credentials and expertise, coupled with her ability to think creatively and collaboratively about solutions that resonate for her clients, make Jen an invaluable resource. Her facilitation of educational workshops is deeply engaging, insightful and clear. She is a skillful moderator, facilitator and trainer, who leverages her warmth and ability to connect with people in her teaching style. Jen is bar none, one of the best facilitators and consultants I have had the pleasure of working with. I very much look forward to working with Jen and Creative Lawyers again.
The legal industry is moving into the modern era whether we practitioners like it or not. Jen not only understands this deeply, but is working hard every day to make the transition smooth for the many stakeholders whose lives will be disrupted. More than simply reducing risk, Jen also sees the promise and opportunity that legal innovation can provide to the wildly underserved consumers of legal services. Her work at Penn Carey Law School has drawn on insights from various academic disciplines (psychology, engineering and medicine) to inform and inspire the next generation of lawyers to think more broadly about what it means to solve legal problems. She’s also a very good friend and human being.
I highly recommend working with Creative Lawyers. They are insightful, well versed in the topics of importance to law firms today, and provide great value. Jen joined our law firm during our Board of Directors retreat and provided great advice on tackling the hard issues today, particularly the use of A.I. in law firms. She gave us confidence in our current path, provided advice and counsel on where we could enhance our efforts, and was a joy to work with.”
Jen and I bonded during the pandemic over our shared passion for creativity, innovation, and making more rapid progress in updating the way lawyers serve clients. Since then, we’ve worked together to design two different projects–McKinsey Legal’s first Legal Innovation Competition and Goodwin’s inaugural “Generation AI” Summer Associate Innovation Challenge. Jen designed both programs with education, impact, and engagement top of mind. In each case, participants emerged from the program feeling energized, equipped with new mindsets and techniques for stimulating creativity across teams and generations. Jen is the rare person who understands the barriers to innovation in legal, approaches to change used in other fields that break through those impediments, and how to craft and deliver engaging content that gets everyone involved.
Jen has a profound grasp of the challenges that we face in the legal profession and the need for developing innovative solutions and approaches to meet those challenges. From working with her, I have been impressed with her ability to look at developments and innovations in other industries to inform how legal organizations can be nimble, responsive, and innovative. She is a leader and a motivator. Indeed, those skills, combined with her knowledge of the legal industry and cross-disciplinary approach, enable her to inspire teams to collaborate, build skills, and embrace a mindset that will promote innovation and help future-proof any organization. I am proud to call her a thought partner and a visionary.
