Jemima Jefferies

Hi! I'm Jemima, an ICF Level 2 qualified Life, Mindset and Career Coach. I live in London with my husband and our mischievous dachshund.

Before becoming a coach, I worked in the fast-paced world of Tech and SaaS, in Client Success. From the outside, I had a successful career on an upward trajectory, but in reality I was having panic attacks before meetings, completely burnt out, chronically people-pleasing and unable to speak up or set any boundaries. I became an expert at looking calm on the outside while panicking on the inside, and eventually it took its toll.

So I took a step back and worked on rebuilding my confidence. I learned to speak up in a way that felt authentic to me and didn't feed my performance anxiety. I discovered that setting a boundary didn't automatically make everyone hate me. And I realised that being quieter wasn't something to fix; it was a strength I'd been hiding.

I'd always wanted to help others in a meaningful way, and this experience led me to coaching.

Now, I provide 1:1 coaching for quietly ambitious people who are ready to grow in confidence, get clear on what they want and back themselves to go after it.
