What Clients Are Saying
I’m grateful to have had the chance to coach so many incredible people over the years – one-on-one, in teams, and in teams of teams.
Here are a few of their testimonials organized by different coaching focus areas.
No matter the focus of the coaching, I bring all of my skills to bear to tackle a client’s challenges.
Business Coaching
I’ve known Peter Jessen since November 2009. Peter is a master at leading and helping individuals and teams create the results they want. He commands an impressive blend of skills and experience in the areas of life success coaching (corporate and personal), structured innovation, Lean-6Sigma and project management. He puts his heart and soul into supporting and helping people succeed.
Peter coached me on both personal and business development topics. Peter has great instincts and asked thought provoking questions to get to my underlying issues. He is challenging yet great at validating.
I didn’t want to be let off the hook on commitments and I wasn’t. Working on a commitment to a ongoing workout schedule yielded an unexpected benefit – taking 3rd at the gym in a three month weight loss contest.
If you are looking for results and want to work hard, Peter is the coach I would highly recommend.
“The best part of coaching with Peter is that while my business has grown substantially, I’ve dropped my most difficult customers, and I actually have more personal time with my family.
Peter told me I had the answers inside myself already, now I know that is true, I just needed the right coach to draw those answers out. I’m looking forward to our next coaching sessions and I’m sure Peter will trigger a new “Quantum Leap” for my business.”
“Thanks to Peter Jessen, I’m accomplishing business goals I would not have achieved.”
Peter Jessen is an incredible life and business coach. He has this ability to draw out the best in me...enabling more awareness, performance and satisfaction in what I do. I am accomplishing business goals I would not have achieved without his help. The results have made a significant impact on my business bottom line and my personal top line."
Peter is a great coach. He has the unique ability to help break things down into an easy to understand format. Peter is also very passionate with his coaching and a student of different modalities to draw from (i.e. Demartini Method and IPEC). With his rare combination of problem skills and an extensive toolbox to draw from, Peter is able to bring tremendous value to his clients.

Energy Leadership Index (ELI) Coaching
Peter was my coach while participating in the Energy Leadership Index (ELI) assessment. His demeanor as a ELI Coach is excellent. He was articulate and very personable, allowing me to understand and get the full benefit from the process. I highly recommend ELI and Peter as a coach.
"The ELI gave me a great Point A as to where my energy ranks in certain areas of my life."
The ELI gave me a great Point A as to where my energy ranks in certain areas of my life. However, even more benefit came from Peter's analysis of my numbers and insights into why and where they came from. His intuition and ability to get to the root of it is outstanding. I would absolutely recommend taking the time to complete this assessment and analyze the results with Peter.
"There's no greater power than being self aware."
Peter and the ELI were extrememly valuable to me. I feel that there's no greater power than being self aware. I've done the assessment and reviewed the results with Peter's expert guidance, and without a doubt, I would recommend the entire process to anyone who's interested in personal growth and self improvement.
Having Peter as a coach was a phenomenal experience. Using the ELI metrics, we were able to identify the events that I had energy on that were no longer serving me as a trader. Then, by using the Demartini Method, we were able to dissolve the emotions around the event and that allowed me to shift my perspective around the event and see how it has served me. As a result, it has shifted my mindset in a way to become a better trader and has helped me to transition from trading as a hobby to trading as a business. This process has also improved my sense of self worth to the point that I am more willing to reach out to others and ask for help rather than sit in quiet desperation.

Life Coaching
Until I met Peter Jessen I had never considered Life Coaching. I was surprised and delighted by his insights and intelligent methods of making visible that which I had been unable to see about myself and my business. In our first session I had a breakthrough that directly resulted in a refocusing of my business. Coaching with Peter is life enhancing, fun and well worth the investment.
“Peter Jessen helps you lay out the map to find your path in life.”
Peter Jessen has an ability to see connections that I can't see myself. Talking to him is like laying out a map and finding a path. He is very knowledgeable, and has a great sense of humour, and that matters! He is a source of inspiration, motivation and support. It is a great privilege to have a fellow navigator thru some rough terrains of your life, and Peter is just that. I’d recommend him highly to anyone who wants to break out and move to the next level.
“A seismic shift has occurred in my awareness.”
I strongly recommend Peter Jessen’s coaching. His keen perception and analysis of my situation, along with his kindness and sensitivity won me over. And, in only four sessions, guided by Peter’s teaching and the resources he offered me, I have made a seismic shift in my awareness and, consequently, my everyday happiness.
“Sound international acumen and tact makes Jessen a coach of choice.”
After being familiar with the personal development arena for a decade, I was completely surprised when during our first few coaching calls, Peter Jessen took me to a journey into true myself. Peter has the fantastic ability to detect your limitations and issues that you might have been ignoring throughout your life. The value he delivers is humongous compared to the little trust that is required from your side. Peter lives his passion as a coach. His hands-on experience – from navy to corporate world – balanced with sound international acumen and tact prove qualities a coach absolutely must possess in our rapidly changing time.
“If you’re ready for big changes in your life, Peter Jessen is your coach.”
For starters, Peter Jessen has a warm soul and is easy to communicate with. I’d further recommend him as a coach, however, because he was able to strengthen my awareness of my emotions and how they affect me and my life. I recommend Peter to anyone and everyone who is ready to understand themselves better and make big changes in their life.

Agile Coaching
Peter is brilliant, detail oriented, and articulate. I have known Peter for many years now, and experienced his coaching skills first hand. He has the ability to communicate and interface with all levels of the organization. He particularly excels in large complex environments where others may not. His strategic coaching abilities go far beyond Agile Software Development. I highly recommend Peter as an Enterprise Agile Coach and Strategist.
Peter Jessen is by far one of the most enthusiastic and effective coaches I ever have met in the tech industry. He is always passionate about what he teaches. He provides great examples and thought provoking discussions amongst his peers and his students.
At DirecTV/AT&T, he helped to set up the Agile mindset for leadership and teams for a large scaled agile transformation. In doing so, he set up AgileCraft toolset (now Jira Align) for us to help track and manage stories, features, capabilities, and strategic themes. He also taught Scrum Master, Product Owner, and other courses to help teams with their progress in the agile transformation.
I enjoyed working with Peter and would recommend his coaching and teaching techniques to any company. He has a wide range of breadth and depth in SAFe and Agile methodologies.
As a colleague and fellow member of Cigna's Agile Center of Excellence, Peter is responsible for coaching the migration of several release trains to support Cigna's transformation from Waterfall to Agile practices. During our time together, Peter successfully mentored at the portfolio, program, and team levels of the organization. Hands-on and resilient, Peter brings a set of thinking tools and a model for crafting powerful agile coaching interventions. His deliberate and consistent approach promotes high trust and welcomes break-through results. As a trainer, Peter is the best in this business, proving that an Agile Coach is more than just a title... it's a dedicated lifestyle. Peter has my highest recommendation and I wish him all the best as he pursues future Agile coaching endeavors.
Peter is one of the handful of enterprise agile coaches I've met who really inspires individuals and teams at all levels to reach high performance and grasp the agile mindset.He was instrumental in supporting the first PI planning sessions of a major scaled agile transformation effort using AgileCraft (now Jira Align) on top of Jira.Peter's expertise was priceless in helping executives and scrum team members alike to understand AgileCraft's portfolio and program level data in relation to Jira's team level data. I look forward to Peter's continuing contributions in this area now that these tools are under the same Atlassian umbrella.
