Jessie’s Complaint Therapy program has completely changed the way I experience complaints I have in my everyday living. Complaints are no longer passive thoughts that transgress my emotional state, but are now moments of opportunities to create agency and fulfillment in my personal growth.

Based on Jessie’s share, I approached inquiry with everyone in my event in a radically different way - and it was received so well!

Jessie is absolutely amazing. I got the opportunity to get to know her during pilots of new manager onboarding at Amazon. She not only deeply cares about the engineering community during the development of training programs but actively seeks out feedback on ways to improve. She earned the respect of many leaders within the company and made an impact on too many people to count. She is incredibly driven, creative, and insightful.

Jessie is a big thinker with a big heart, always exploring new ways to improve well-being, accessibility and psychological safety, to make work and life more fulfilling for the thousands of tech managers that she supports at Amazon through her learning and community experiences. Jessie is an excellent coach, and I have personally benefited from her approach and perspectives as I navigated challenging times. I am excited to see what new initiatives Jessie will continue to spearhead as her ideas seed and bloom. It was a pleasure to manage Jessie at Amazon, and I recommend her as a great partner to work with.

I hung these up in each of my classrooms and had really good conversations with my classes about how they see them happening in each class (and at home). Great.

I had the pleasure of working with Jessie to launch Amazon’s LXDCon in 2019, a first-of-its-kind at Amazon – a conference to help raise the bar for learning experience design at Amazon. Jessie was, by far, the driving force behind the success of this conference and an invaluable leader throughout. She exhibited strong ownership—taking on multiple roles and responsibilities—and doing a lot of this without any of the support structure required of such a mammoth undertaking. She’s a force! She excelled at bringing new people and voices to the table, being inclusive, and ultimately, delivering major results for the learning community at large. In addition, Jessie always maintains a proactive, professional, and positive attitude. I now sit on the LXDCon 2021 board with Jessie and continue to value and admire her perspective, leadership, and drive to help others.

Jessie and I worked together for almost 6 years in Engineering Excellence at Amazon. In that time, she showed ongoing passion for developing technical leadership and created learning experiences for new and developing technical managers that they embraced whole heartedly. Jessie is passionate about helping people realize their potential, and the impact she had was felt across the company.

I started the daily check-ins and listened to Jessie’s podcasts. I love the way she explains pressure, procrastination, and perfection in a unique and simple way! DayBalancer is helping me gain better insights into different areas of my life and is showing me areas that affect my overall well-being rankings.

Jessie has always been a passionate driver of Software Development Manager excellence and community building at Aamazon. Her relentless pursuit of knowledge sharing and process improvement in order to help and upskill SDMs such as myself was greatly apprecaited and made Amazon a better place to work. Jessie was always involved with the right kind of initiatives, always focused, always engaged, always getting things done. Interacting with her was always a pleasure. I would welcome working with Jessie any time in the future, I would also recommend her to any potential employers - she is a superstar.

”I wish I had been aware of the insights Jessie shared 20 yrs ago. A treasure for her to share.” — Karin B.

I had the pleasure of working with Jessie, who was dedicated to building the Amazon learning community from the ground up. She brought people together to start first annual learning conference, which is still going on. She helped to create a strong learning community and a space to share resources. I look forward to working her in the future.
