Jami Wolfe
“I’m quickly able to get to the heart of an issue, using critical reasoning skills and experience to offer potential solutions that optimize individual and business results.”Jami believes people make or break a business. That’s why she places intense focus on understanding each client’s business and/or personal leadership goals and then audits their current skills and processes to help them clearly understand their strengths and root-cause issues that will support or impede their ability to reach those goals. Her varied experience working internally at a large financial firm and external consulting with Accenture and CMA gives her a unique blend of perspectives that helps her provide insights and action plans from her broad experiences across industries, organization size, and organization levels.

Jami’s 19 years of extensive experience across many areas of talent management and development (e.g., organization and leadership assessment, executive coaching, leadership development, succession planning, change management, performance management, organization structure, and culture change) along with her strategic-planning experience help her quickly identify when an individual or organization is not well skilled and/or aligned to achieve the individual’s leadership goals or organization’s strategic plan. Her education in psychology and business knowledge uniquely positions her to work with families that own businesses to help them develop their family relationships and knowledge as business owners. She believes in connecting closely with clients to “meet them where they are” and engages her years of project management experience to create customized and specific action plans to help them achieve their goals.

Jami received a Bachelor of Arts degree with a double major in Business and Psychology from William Woods University and a Master of Science in Industrial/Organizational Psychology from Purdue University.
