Jennifer Stone has been described by many as “one who falls in love easily”, passionate, over the top, and quite girly girly.  That hasn’t always been the case – actually, she spent most of her life on the opposite end of the spectrum.  She now affectionately refers to herself as a ‘recovering green’.  The world needs all of the colors, but now she loves living as an extroverted true blue who rarely meets a person she can't talk to, has a great rock collection, and loves hanging out with friends, running and laughing out loud.

Jennifer is a skilled facilitator and trainer.  Her work for the last decade has focused on developing stronger teams and more effective individuals who know who they are, are confident in their abilities and more equipped to work effectively within groups. Jennifer has extensive experience in training within non-profits, volunteer, and community development industries with an emphasis on leadership training, team building, communication, volunteer recruitment/retention, and grassroots organizing.  She has developed numerous resources, tools and training techniques to assist individuals in developing critical leadership skills that increase their self-confidence and effectiveness in both their professional and personal lives.  Jennifer holds a Master of Arts in Sociology from the University of Missouri – Kansas City with an emphasis in urban affairs. 

(In the picture below, you can see her cross the finish line of her first marathon in October 2007.  Long-time friend and 9-time marathoner Donna helped her finish this lifelong dream.)

Our chief want is someone
who will inspire us to be
what we know we could be.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Being at peace with yourself is a direct result of finding peace with God.
