This month's spotlight is on Evelyn Jenkinson, who is a Marketing Committee Member. She was also an integral part of 2020's ICW success.
 Who am I?
I am originally from Long Island, NY, lived in Bethel, CT for 25 years and very recently relocated to Beaufort, South Carolina. I have been coaching exclusively online, so my geography has become less important.
I spend most of my free time exploring my new neighborhood, beachcombing, cycling, writing and reading. I have more hobbies and interests than I can keep track of, including raising chickens, knitting, and decorating. My husband and I love global travel adventures, and I look forward to resuming that as soon as possible.
What do I do?
I am a Board Certified Coach (BCC) currently coaching people who feel “stuck” in transition, most of them during mid-life. Many of my clients are looking for greater purpose and more fulfillment in the next phase of their lives.
I use my ICF training in conjunction with my training in neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and meta-coaching to help clients identify and articulate what they want, the limiting beliefs and distortions that are holding them back, and how they can move forward. I believe that great rapport is the heart of the coach-client relationship, so I start with a complimentary exploratory session during which we discover if we are a good match!
I am also a co-founder of The Coaching Cohort, where we help clients make changes in pursuit of their personal and professional aspirations.
What am I passionate about?
I am most passionate about relationship-building and communication. For more than two decades I worked as a communications executive in the corporate world, helping leaders articulate their vision and objectives, and inform and motivate their workforce. I learned first-hand that being able to clearly articulate your goals, values and beliefs is at the core of everything we can achieve. In 2018 I decided to “repurpose” my communication skills and pursue my credential as a professional coach. Coaching has turned out to be the most rewarding way to use my communication skills: to help clients pursue what matters most to them.
What unexpected “gifts” will you celebrate this month?
I have my son living with us in our new home for now (after his college graduation). It’s temporary due to the “COVID-19 job market” and it was unexpected - but it’s a real joy to have him back for a while.

Coaching Circles are topic-based, member-only groups that offer a safe and supportive environment where experienced ICF Certified Coaches gather to help each other to grow, share and learn. Within these circles, we can tap into and share our diverse backgrounds and the unique gifts each of us has to contribute. By sharing our different insights and perspectives, we will learn from each other while having fun!

What: The Women’s Leadership Coaching Circle will focus on real-time challenges and opportunities that arise when we coach female leaders.
Hour-long monthly meetings will run from January till June and will provide a deep dive into the cultural forces that are shaping coaching conversations. Meetings will be based on topics including, but not limited to:
- Real Case Studies
- Key learnings amidst current events
- Leadership Development

- Case discussion and active problem-solving
Who: Group size will be limited to 10 members with the possibility of additional sessions, if interest is high. Members are asked to have at least 3 years or more of coaching or equivalent coaching experience.
When: The group will meet virtually, beginning January 8, and meet the second Friday of the month, from 2:00 – 3:00 PM.
