Business overview
I see myself as a change agent. I am completely focused on making a positive difference to as many people's lives and businesses as possible through my work.I have a diverse and dynamic business background - I earned my MBA, launched two coaching and training organisation designed to support business owners and their teams to excel across New Zealand, the USA, and UK. I have also chaired the Board of Directors of an Auckland-based charity.
My willingness to embrace change and my strategic mindset, relationship-building prowess, and exemplary communication skills, are all strengths that empower me in my current role of supporting the LINK Waikato team of Business Brokers to deliver outstanding outcomes for their vendors.
My goal for the Waikato office is to foster a culture of service excellence, professionalism, and collaboration among the team as we help our clients sell businesses not only within the Waikato but all over NZ.

I'm an absolute fan of women supporting women and came on board with Venus Network (our 'old' name!) in late 2011 to not only connect with other, like-minded female professionals for business purposes but also to build friendships, which have become invaluable.Over the years in Venus, I have been able to connect my network 'sisters' to new clients and in return have received referrals that have turned into fantastic opportunities for my businesses. The more you give, the more you get.

Testimonials
"It has been Jen pushing us to do things that may not necessarily come naturally to us, but have been extremely beneficial for our business. Jen has ABSOLUTELY paid for herself in so many ways. We can’t imagine that we would be where we are now if we had been left to our own devices. Jen is there to there to keep us on track – a little bit of ‘kick in the butt’!” - Monica Senna Salerno & Jenny Oldham“I have to say – I think Jen’s courses are very well-priced and great value for money. The things I found most helpful were the small-group brainstorms and self-reflection exercises we completed, as the questions really got us thinking! I would absolutely recommend Jen to others. I found her to be very interactive and engaging.” - Britta
“I was really happy with the session you ran for us at our Staff Conference. I think the level of enthusiasm and contribution from the team was excellent – and it was an early Sunday morning, no less! I am happy to be an advocate for you to other businesses that are looking to complete a similar workshop. Your relaxed, humourous and very well-organized programme were major drivers of a very successful session, where our staff of 40 gave their opinions on how our industry may look in 5 years’ time. You quickly grasped the issues that are important to our industry, and this enabled you to add real value to the discussions.” - Adrian Paterson
“Jen is great speaker and has a knack for really engaging her audience. She gave some really great, practical tips to help us become better networkers. We had really positive feedback from those who attended - I would highly recommend her for your next training event!” – Daniel Hopper
“I would definitely recommend Jen’s workshops to others looking for clarity, structure and strategy. At times during the session, we got instant feedback on specific challenges, so it felt like coaching rather than sitting in a seminar. Thanks Jennifer, it was fantastic.” Alex Bowmar
