The most potent hour to meet this moment of crisis and creation.

 

Bold vision. Sparked insight. Yours.

Sound familiar?

You’re executing with a full plate, full calendar, and full responsibility. You’re leading people, stewarding capital, shaping systems. And still, beneath the pace and pressure, you can feel it: There’s a gap between the plan you’re running and the possibility that’s ready to rise.
 
Now is the time to leverage that possibility. But it’s not going to happen by blocking off your calendar for an hour and pulling out your journal - and you know it. Because it’s not about the time, it’s about being held in a space that invites your expanded vision, and your most bold moves to date.

The Bold Pause is the space to meet your edge.

  

One client thought she needed to raise $1M to meet an urgent need. After The Bold Pause, she saw a bigger vision — expanded her leadership from team oversight to ecosystem orchestration — and mobilized $3.5M toward systemic change.

 

You don’t need another strategy sprint.
You need a pause.  A bold one.

What is the Bold Pause?

The Bold Pause is a recalibration.

 
It is a 60-minute live guided experience for seasoned, purpose-led leaders navigating high-stakes, high-speed complexity.
 
We’ll surface your Vision Gap — the space between your current leadership vision and the fuller, bolder possibility calling you forward
 
 
You’ll walk away with:
  • A clear insight you can trust — even in the noise
  • A felt sense of how the challenges and constraints you’re facing are also invitations
  • A sharper view of who — and what — to invite in
  • A guided workbook to make what’s emergent actionable
 

This is for you if...

You’ve scaled, stewarded, and led. You’ve moved millions — in capital, revenue, policy, and people – and this moment is asking for more.

You want a space where constraints don’t block the path — they shape it

You know your impact deepens when your actions align with your deepest knowing — and when your leadership evolves to meet the gravity and possibility of now.

The Real Shifts

This isn’t just theory. This is what change sounds like in motion.

 
Lea thought she needed to raise $1M to meet an urgent need. After one powerful pause, she expanded her lens —from team oversight to ecosystem orchestration — and mobilized $3.5M toward systemic change.

 

Another client felt pressure to grow in a shifting market while holding her team, strategy, and family.
Together, we paused and uncovered a bolder desire: a seven-figure take-home, six weeks off, and a sharper strategic focus that could scale. The result?  She delegated more, watched her team rise, and created the space to imagine — and build — what’s next.

 

When Kevin stepped into the biggest role of his career, the pressure was real and so were the stakes. His team had been operating in silos. But with each Bold Pause, something shifted.

 

“Our team has never executed with this much collaboration or care. During layoffs, other teams rallied behind us. That’s not normal. We did something good here — and it started with how I was showing up.”

 

He delegated more boldly. Trusted more deeply. Led with clarity and care — and watched his team rise. His calendar changed. His presence deepened. He created space for his young son, his team’s growth, and his own clarity. He didn’t just lead with strategy, he led with spark. The fire he brought? Calibrated — and contagious.

 

Strategic pauses. Each one clearing the fog and catalyzing clean, courageous action.

What Leaders Say

“I've never experienced a facilitator that can productively bring a collective together like Jeanine... She asks questions that cause a group to lean in with a common purpose... and uncovers jewels of collective intelligence that were previously unspoken or unrecognized. Suddenly, bigger dreams become possible and start to unfold.” 

 — Jensine Larsen, Founder, World Pulse (Global Nonprofit / Network Leader)

 

“Jeanine provided me something I could not have found elsewhere—a safe place to put forward my toughest work-related challenges with a skilled and empathic listener and facilitator whose business leadership background helps her ask the exact right questions I need to move forward.” 

 — Toby Rubin, Former CEO, Upstart Lab (Philanthropy/Nonprofit)

 

“When I came to Jeanine, I was in urgency — trying to secure $1M just to meet immediate needs. She helped me pause, step back, and ask a bigger question: not what’s feasible, but what’s needed. That one conversation expanded my vision. I invited in my team, engaged our policy and program partners, and the result? A $3.5M initiative — unanimously approved — that’s now resourcing grantees, supporting safety and security, and influencing other funders across the field. That shift still stays with me.” 

 — Lea Tienou-Gustofson, Senior Director, World Education Services  Mariam Assefa Fund (Philanthropy)

 

“I’ve had coaches before, but it always circled back to the same surface-level advice. Working with Jeanine was different. She asked questions that stopped me in my tracks — the kind of questions I hadn’t thought to ask myself. Questions that opened up entirely new ways of seeing. That level of engagement shaped how I coach my own team now. It changed how I show up as a leader — more grounded, more trusting, more clear.” 

— Kevin Albers, SVP Customer Experience, Slack

  It's time to return

 

To what’s yours. To what’s next. To the deeper knowing beneath the noise.

 

You’ll receive a guided audio + workbook to lead yourself through the pause and for anytime the noise grows loud or the path forward gets foggy.

 

 Let’s pause.
Boldly.
First to listen — then lead.
