Jessica Harrington, MPA
Certified Executive Leadership Development & Strengths-Based Coach
PPCC Founder

I love helping people nurture and develop their leadership potential. I believe leadership is not exclusive to any particular type of person; leadership is an inclusive calling. It lives within all of us in many ways at different times. Leadership is cultivated in community through awareness, reflection, practice, and growth. Leadership development is personal before it becomes organizational. This has been my philosophy over the last 15 years while working in higher education.

I’ve enjoyed calling out leadership in my students through advising, coaching, and developing programs for both undergraduate and graduate populations. It’s my joy to support my clients’ growth- whether undergrad, doctoral student, or new executive.

I hold certifications from The Academies as an Executive Leadership Development Coach and College of Executive Coaching as a Strengths-Based Coach. Both programs, accredited by ICF, provided a wonderful foundation which shapes and complements my experiences engaging people in nurturing the leader within.
