Guest Bio

Jen’s always been up for a great adventure so after leaving North Carolina at the age of 6 she never minded moving around a lot because she always loved change. As an adult, her life has continued to be adventurous living in a number of different places including Charleston, Seattle, Toronto, Myrtle Beach, Mississippi and Cleveland all before her oldest son was 9 years old.

During each of those transitions, Jen used technology to make the most of everything: from the actual move to finding community resources and even arranging playdates for her kids. Jen found herself often in the role of the communications person, building websites, coordinating email campaigns, designing and branding social media marketing strategies. Technology allowed her to put down an anchor no matter where she was.

When Jen’s youngest child started kindergarten, she started using her digital skills, combined with her marketing skills from years of working in non-profits and fundraising to start the Posner Lehner Group, LLC a marketing agency. This decision has allowed Jen the opportunity to work with amazing clients, large and small as a partner and trusted advisor in helping them to solve their marketing challenges. Word spread very quickly and Jen was soon at capacity so she decided to launch JenLehner.com This shift enabled Jen to help more clients by offering group training courses online and a limited number of one on one coaching sessions via Skype.

Jen loves to be able to break things down for people in a way that is simple to understand with the goal to help you achieve your goal as quickly and as simply as possible.

Welcome to the show!People don't realize just how closely the voice and the emotions are linked. That's really what tone is, I call it the undervoice, it's the part we hear that doesn't always match the words. The emotions are not always spoken in the words but they are always reflected in the tone. It's essential to take a look at that undertone, it can effect your business, your relationships and your life in more ways than you realize. When we spek in tone, we create a barrier that the audience feels. But, by taking a looking at the emotions, the psychology of the voice, we can adjust it, for the better and speak more freely.Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with energy healer Kathleen O'Keeffe, one of the most brilliant people I know. Kathleen has not only dramatically impacted my life for the better but the lives of many. I know you are going to just love her.Want to get your free voice assessment? www.captivatetheroom.comAnd don't foget, use code podcast to take 25% off all of my downloadable courses.Guest Bio Kathleen O'Keeffe lives in Kuranda North Queensland in Australia. Kathleen is an energy healer and health coach, using a mixed bag of modalities she has learned over the past 10 years on her own healing journey which turned quickly into a desire to share her knowledge and to help others. Kathleen's wholehearted intention is to facilitate a healing space for those who need to come home and connect into their heart space and their intuition for a balanced healing experience. while Kathleen sees clients face to face she also connects with those interstate and globally via Skype.You can find out more about Kathleen and book your session at www.Kathleenokeeffeenergyhealing.com
