Hi, I’m Jessica Powers.

I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m an Organizational Psychologist, Executive Coach, and Facilitator. For more than 20 years, I’ve helped leaders and teams work through complexity, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful change.

I work especially well with thoughtful leaders navigating consequential moments: stepping into greater responsibility, leading through change or conflict, expanding your influence, or aligning people around a shared direction. I help leaders understand their strengths and patterns, build trust, have the conversations that matter, and lead with greater clarity and confidence.

My approach is grounded in systems thinking. Leadership never happens in isolation: organizational structures, relationships, culture, power dynamics, history, and competing priorities all shape how people behave and what becomes possible. I help leaders look beyond individual personalities to understand the larger system, and identify where they have the agency to influence it.

This perspective helps leaders move beyond succeeding in their own roles to becoming true organizational leaders: people who can see across boundaries, consider the needs of the whole, navigate competing perspectives, and bring a diversity of others together around shared goals.

I also work with leadership teams to become stronger teams, with the increased ability to navigate inevitable conflict, break down silos, clarify accountability, and lead through significant change. I create the trust and structure people need to speak honestly, surface tensions with care, make clearer decisions, and turn insight into shared commitments and action.

I have a Masters degree in Organizational Psychology from Columbia University and have worked with leaders and organizations across technology, media, entertainment, financial services, energy, international development, and the social-impact sector—from innovative startups to Fortune 500 companies.

At the heart of my work is a belief that how we lead and work together matters. When leaders build trust, engage differences, and align people around what matters, the effects extend beyond a single person or team. This contributes to healthier organizations, stronger relationships, a more peaceful way of living, and a more peaceful world.
