It's time to stop calling them "soft skills"

We help organizations develop people-first cultures led by compassionate leaders who understand the significance of empathy and belonging in the digital age.

We call them essential skills.
And we’ll be by your side for all of it…

…because we aren’t meant to do this alone.

Meet Jen Croneberger

As the Chief Inspiration Officer and Founder of JLynne Consulting Group and the Founder of the HUMAN Leadership Institute, Jen Croneberger is a speaker, consultant, and executive coach who works with organizations looking to inspire their teams from within.

Jen has spoken on the TEDx stage 4 different times, and her focus is in helping leaders learn how to compassionately lead using a proven methodology that puts the power of the HUMAN spirit at the center of every company’s success.

Jen’s background in building leaders and team dynamics helps lay a pathway to stronger and more positive relationships and therefore an increase in engagement, productivity and outcomes.

We guide leaders and teams to foster an inclusive and supportive culture that values relationships, communication, and respect.

Our work is based on our proprietary B.R.A.V.E. Human Leadership™ model and a bespoke game plan fully tailored to your organization based on exactly what you NEED, not a cookie cutter ‘training’ that misses the mark.

Belonging
Resilience
Authenticity
Vulnerability
Empathy

Through these five key pillars, we’re bridging gaps and broadening minds all over the globe.

If your organization is facing...

  • Retention issues
  • Untrained leadership
  • Low morale
  • Employee burnout

…We’ll integrate the B.R.A.V.E. Human Leadership Model with YOUR exact needs to reimagine, redesign, and redevelop a people strategy for the future.

Let us help you capitalize on your greatest asset – your people.
