    Define who owns what, where decisions get made, and how you lead together.

    Grow into the leader your company needs next, on your own terms.

  • Money mindset

    Untangle stories about money and worth, so you can ask for capital with confidence and grow your company with more ease.

  • Difficult conversations

    Make hard calls with clarity, care, and a plan for the conversation.

How it works

  1. Step 1: Name what is true

    We start with where you are: what you are carrying, what is working, and what is costing you.

  2. Step 2: Shift the pattern

    We work on the beliefs behind how you lead, so the change lasts beyond the session.

  3. Step 3: Take the next step

    You leave each conversation with a clear action and the conviction to follow through.

Who you are

  • You're purpose-driven, building something meaningful while carrying a lot of invisible load
  • You've outgrown the leadership playbook you were handed
  • You want a team that runs on care without losing its edge
  • You don't want to lose your soul while pouring your heart into your company

What clients say

Jennie was instrumental in guiding me through a challenging time of growth and change at our company. I grew immensely as a leader working with her, and the outcomes for my company were very positive - our work together was essential for helping my company reach our next stage of growth.

Lana C.Founder & CEO

My first-ever coaching session was with Jennie, and it was genuinely transformative. I was making a career pivot and stepping into leadership while carrying a lot of unprocessed work trauma—and Jennie created a space where I felt immediately seen, grounded, and safe to go there.

Through her coaching, I had a real breakthrough. Not the fluffy kind, but the kind that actually shifts how you show up. She helped me release old patterns, heal parts of my leadership story, and step more confidently into the version of myself I was becoming.

What stood out most was how deeply present and intuitive she is. This wasn’t scripted or surface-level advice—it was meaningful, personal, and lasting. I still carry insights from our session with me today, and I’m incredibly grateful for the impact she had at such a pivotal moment in my career.

Jenna A.Founder & Customer Success Leader

I was in a transition phase in my career and needed support and clarity on my next steps. Through my session with Jennie, I realized that the answers are already within me—I just need to slow down and listen to my inner compass.

What shifted for me was seeing the importance of having more intentional conversations with myself and the people who inspire and challenge me. It reminded me to stay connected and not isolate during times of change.

I think Jennie is the perfect coach for moms who are founders or navigating a career transition. She has a grounded, empathetic approach that makes you feel both supported and empowered to take your next step with confidence.

Frequently asked questions

Who is Chief Mama Officer coaching for?

Chief Mama Officer coaching is for founders and executives, especially women leading growing companies, who are building something meaningful and want to do it without losing themselves. It suits leaders facing growth, change, or a career transition, whether you are raising capital, building your first team, or scaling past it. The leadership challenge you are facing matters more than company size. If you are not sure it is a fit, book a call and Jennie Yang will tell you honestly.

What is the difference between coaching, therapy, and consulting?

Coaching, therapy, and consulting serve different purposes. Therapy is provided by licensed clinicians and treats mental health conditions and trauma. Consulting means an expert gives you recommendations or does the work on a specific business problem. Coaching is forward-looking: it helps you get clear on what you want and take your next step with accountability. Jennie Yang’s Transformational NLP approach also works with past experiences and the beliefs they left behind, which can be healing, but it is coaching, not clinical therapy or a substitute for mental health care.

What topics can founder coaching cover?

Founder coaching at Chief Mama Officer covers leadership development, money mindset, co-founder alignment and conflict, difficult conversations, and sustainability as you scale. If it is weighing on you as a leader, it can be part of the work.

What is Jennie Yang's coaching approach?

Jennie Yang blends Transformational Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) with emotional intelligence, conscious leadership, and guided visualization. The approach pairs shifting the beliefs behind how you lead with a clear, doable next step.

What is neuro-linguistic programming (NLP)?

Executive coach Jennie Yang uses Transformational NLP, which focuses on lasting change at the level of beliefs and identity rather than surface tactics.

What are Jennie Yang's coaching credentials?

How does hiring a coach help me while fundraising?

Fundraising puts your confidence, money mindset, and decision-making under a spotlight. A coach helps you untangle the stories you carry about money and worth, prepare for tough investor conversations, and stay steady through rejection and long timelines, so you can ask for capital with clarity and confidence. Executive coach Jennie Yang pairs that inner work with practical strategy for your next move.

My co-founder and I have a lot of conflict. What can I do?
