A personal coaching journey with Jennifer
Back in February, I started working with an extraordinarily talented personal coach, Jennifer Priest.
I’d been thinking about working with someone like Jennifer for a while, in order to gain focus on my life’s goals, and start achieving some of the milestones I’d been setting out for myself for the past few years. During our first call, we discussed what some of my objectives were, when working with a personal coach.
Some of those “milestones” I had wanted to strive for included:
- purchasing my dream car (an Audi TT convertible)
- gaining perspective and success with dating
- buying my first home
- clarifying my career objectives
- finding peace with my family crisis / disconnect
I’d held off writing this post until I fully realized all of these objectives. In the past few weeks, that’s exactly what I’ve done — all with the help and encouragement of Jennifer.
I not only met my objectives, thanks to Jennifer’s talented guidance, I surpassed my goals exponentially.
In under 8 months, I’ve purchased my own home — a beautiful condo in Yaletown; gotten engaged to a wonderfully perfect guy that I couldn’t have imagine existed before this year; purchased the ‘Chicklette’ (my silver Audi TT convertible) at a steal of a deal; solidified my career plan; and found total resolution to a family crisis that had, until a few weeks ago, severed all communication with my brother.
I can hardly believe the success I’ve had, to be honest. I attribute all of this growth… learning to be accountable, having meaningful goals with a plan of action, and staying on task… to Jennifer. Although, I’ve always been a successful person when I put my mind to it, I lacked some personal accountability and certainly a lot of the planning for success that Jennifer put me on track with — she provided powerful tools to get past some roadblocks I’d put up, and without this help, there’s no way I could have seen this success.
Thanks so much, Jennifer, for being the acutely aware, and incredibly thought-provoking guide I needed along the way. I can’t wait to work with you again on future goals — There’s some big ones coming up!

Wow congratulations! Look at all that you have accomplished. Those are some pretty hefty goals and you did it!
Wooo! A fellow Audi TT lover! It is also my dream car. I purchased one several years ago, but sold it once Allan and I started dating… no need for two cars. I still miss it
That’s a cute name for yours!
Congrats to Jennifer as well for helping you through this. This is a great story Tanya!
