Jill Johnson | About

I specialize in guiding executives, women/parents, and ADHD individuals towards transformative growth and success. With roots in the SF Bay Area, I’ve been fortunate to serve leaders at some of the world’s most important institutions both in-person and virtually.

My journey as a busy mom juggling a career and family life has deeply informed my understanding of the delicate art of balance, enabling me to empathize with and effectively address the challenges my clients face. In my coaching practice, I employ a blend of science-based tools and strategic planning, complemented by pragmatic support. This approach is designed to facilitate meaningful change, fostering measurable growth and targeted shifts in behavior and perception. 

My clients experience not only professional advancement but also a profound sense of personal fulfillment and peace of mind. I am a firm believer in the power of inner wisdom and its crucial role in leadership and influence. I encourage leaders, parents, and individuals from all walks of life to embrace a new way of being that prioritizes purpose, emotional intelligence, and balance.

Prior to coaching, I held senior leadership roles in sales and account management. I currently reside in Palo Alto, CA with my family and two lazy cats.
