Jennifer Lorenz, PCC, spent her career as a senior analyst in the federal government, taking messy, incomplete information and working out what was actually going on. Along the way she watched brilliant, capable people know exactly what to do and still not do it. She calls it the execution gap, and closing it is now her work.
As founder of Jennifer Lorenz Coaching & Consulting, she coaches executives, leaders, and teams on focus, follow-through, and the parts of work nobody ever taught them. She brings an analyst's toolkit into the room: checking assumptions, weighing competing explanations, and separating what is known from what is feared. She has ADHD herself, which is why she reads the research closely and turns it into strategies that hold up on a Tuesday afternoon.
Her talks are practical by design. Audiences leave with something they can use the next morning. Jennifer travels nationally and internationally and presents virtually.

My mission, in plain words: make work fit the people doing it. Or, as I put it, make work suck less. Not only for neurodivergent people. For parents, for women, and for anyone who works differently than the system was built for. I spent my career watching brilliant, capable people get worn down by work that was designed around somebody else's brain, and it just doesn't have to be this way. I'm at my happiest when someone leaves a session or a room better than they were when they walked in, holding a tool they can actually use on Monday.
I thought artists started exactly where they finished. I'd watched Bob Ross, happy little trees and all, so I figured the whole picture landed on the canvas and they just filled it in.
Then one morning I got sucked into a doodle video. A woman started with a blank square and drew circles. That's it. Just circles. The finished mosaic has no circles in it. Not one. The circles told her where the connecting lines went. The lines told her where the shading went. By the end the circles were covered up, and the whole thing was standing on them.
Even Bob Ross started with a sky. Michelangelo sketched.
I coach people who are staring at the version of their life they want, trying to draw it onto a blank page in one move, and feeling broken when they can't. No one draws the whole picture in one step. The only question that needs an answer is: what does the page in front of me, with whatever's already on it, ask for next?
Midway through a career as a senior analyst in the federal government, I was diagnosed with ADHD. Looking back, the signs had been everywhere, and so had the workarounds I'd built without knowing what they were for. Once I understood my own brain, I started seeing the same pattern in the people around me: smart, hardworking, capable people who knew exactly what to do and still couldn't get themselves to start. Nobody had taught them the how. I founded Jennifer Lorenz Coaching & Consulting in 2023 to teach it, using the same structured thinking I used as an analyst, pointed at the gap between knowing and doing.
