I’ve played sports since I was a little girl. In hindsight, having a good coach made my season more enjoyable. A good coach pushes you to be better every practice. A good coach motivates you to work hard. But, a great coach teaches you more than the rules of the game you’re playing; a great coach teaches you about life! Jennifer Gleeson Blue, Founder and President of Get There From Here, is an innovative kind of coach. For Jennifer, every human being is bursting with creativity. It has become Jennifer’s personal mission to unleash these creativities in order to effect powerful change and release waves of positivity and innovation: “Coaching is this amazing intersection of story and helping people. Every day, I get to support people in transforming their lives and business stories in authentic and powerful ways. I also have the opportunity to grow and expand my business in any direction I want. These things combined made building a coaching business very attractive to me.”

Collaboration, self-awareness, and honesty helps achieve an authentic path upon which a woman innovator can reach her full potential. Jennifer says, “I know that this combination holds tremendous power and unleashes the innovator in all of us!” Hear more about the value of storytelling and the positive effects of coaching in Jennifer’s #womaninnovator interview.
