How it started

HI! I’m Jen Gallinson and I am the founder of JGG Coaching & Consulting. I began my career as a litigator at a large law firm and later transitioned my practice to law firm talent development, recruiting and leadership roles. I spent more than two decades working closely with attorneys at all stages of their careers.

I saw first-hand the evolving expectations of the profession and witnessed how legal careers actually unfold. I saw brilliant people struggle to design careers that fit their actual lives. They wanted clarity, but most advice stayed surface-level or didn't account for the real constraints they were navigating. That's when I became a certified coach. Coaching allows me to bring together my experience in law firms with a more focused, individualized approach, helping people see the full picture and move forward with intention.

How it’s going

Today, I work one-on-one with lawyers and executives across the country navigating growth, leadership and change in their careers. I understand how legal careers actually work in practice, and I help my clients navigate them in a way that is both ambitious and realistic. I don't just focus on your resume or your next role, but I help you connect all the dots. Your ambitions, your responsibilities, your energy, your values. Together, we build a path forward that's as ambitious as it is real. Because transformation happens when your career fits your whole self.

If you are ready to take a more intentional approach to your career and leadership, I would welcome the opportunity to connect.

How we can work together

A woman with long brown hair, wearing a blue sweater, is sitting at a white desk working on a silver MacBook laptop. She is smiling and has her chin resting on her hand. On the desk, there are several stacked books, a gold textured tumbler with a straw, and some papers. Behind her, there is a large green leafy plant and light-colored curtains. The setting appears to be a bright, modern home or office space.

Individuals

I work one-on-one with lawyers and executives seeking clarity, direction, and growth in their career and leadership journeys, co-designing paths forward that align ambition with reality while supporting meaningful personal and professional development.
