Testimonials

From my mentor, Martha Beck:

Jess Gostin is one smart, savvy, creative life engineer. She backs up her extensive background in science and technology with high “emotional intelligence,” helping people optimize the systems in their lives whether that means helping you get the promotion you deserve, combining work and personal life without losing your sanity, creating the relationship of your dreams, or losing weight. I’d hire Jess to optimize my life systems any time, and I highly recommend her to you!

From a co-worker:

I worked with Jess on a job where we were both in engineering roles. Together we developed processing algorithms and implemented them in software and digital logic. I quickly discovered that she was open and easy to talk to. We could tear into technical matters, but just as easily discuss life outside of work; our families, our goals, things we dream about, and the things we struggle with. She could always “see” and strive for a deeper meaning, a better balance, and a fuller life amid the day-to-day work routine. This introspection allowed her to improve herself personally and professionally. I am glad to see Jess sharing this talent with others, helping them to achieve the same fullness and balance in and out of the workplace. If you think this could help you, don’t hesitate to get in touch with her and see if coaching is the answer.

I want to thank all of my clients, and extend a special appreciation to those who have given me permission to share their thoughts here on this page.

Jess helped me view things from a totally different perspective than what I was used to. Her experience as an engineer made me immediately comfortable, because she could relate to many of the issues I deal with every day in the engineering world. Jess was supportive and kind, but she never let me off the hook easy. While working with her was sometimes more difficult than my college Electromagnetics course, my results were well worth the effort! – P. Leola, Software Manager

When I first started working with Jess, I was overweight and had pretty much no social life. I had a dream of starting a side business, but never shared it with anyone because I thought there was no way I could do it. Jess helped me face my goal and break it down, and worked with me through each step of starting my business. But we worked on so much more than just business issues. As I gained confidence with my business, my life changed in other ways as well. I lost 12 pounds through the process, and feel much more connected with my friends and family. - S.A., Environmental Engineer, Chicago
