Why Jory Stillman, MA, MCC chose to be in the helping profession

My journey into education and coaching for personal well-being and development felt like a natural choice to me, given my life experiences and inherent qualities. Being naturally observant, curious, empathetic, and intuitive has been a wonderful match for supporting and guiding others in their personal growth. My "inherent" self and my varied life experiences gently but unmistakably nudged me toward this meaningful path of assisting folks on their journey to well-being, personal growth, and flourishing.

Every morning, I wake up feeling grateful for the chance to help people explore themselves, become more self-aware, find clarity, and create a meaningful life filled with well-being, passion, and purpose. It's a journey I cherish, and I'm honored to be part of others' quests for a better, more fulfilling life.

Jory Stillman, MA, MCC's approach

As a certified coach specializing in Life, Mental Health, Executive, and Leadership coaching, I proudly hold the MCC (Master Certified Coach) designation accredited by the ICF (International Coach Federation). In my coaching approach, I bring together proven methods rooted in evidence, like positive psychology, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and strengths-based perspectives. I also blend in insights from Acceptance and Commitment coaching, incorporating somatic and mind-body practices, mental fitness, and mindfulness – a holistic mix aimed at helping clients reach their goals.

My main aim is to guide individuals in boosting self-awareness, identifying values and strengths, and aligning their lives accordingly. I'm driven by a passion for fostering emotional well-being, addressing stress, and enhancing emotional and mental fitness. I stick to the mantra of "coaching the person and not the problem," supporting individuals as they pursue their unique visions and goals. My expertise covers a range of areas, from stress management and anxiety to navigating uncertainty, boosting empathy, increasing resilience, promoting whole-being wellness, improving communication in relationships, skillfully navigating transitions, and fostering career growth.

I've had the privilege of coaching hundreds of individuals privately and through reputable organizations such as BetterUp, Valor Performance, and Lyra Health. My clientele is diverse, spanning various industries, including Fortune 500 companies like Google, Apple, Meta, Chevron, Space X, and branches of the US Federal Government, such as the IRS, Department of Defense, and AirForce. Beyond coaching, I contribute to the coaching community by training and mentoring coaches through the FastTrack Coach Academy and serving as an ICF Assessor. My unwavering commitment to people fuels my dedication to supporting them on their journey toward clarity, well-being, passion, and purpose.

What my clients have to say about working with me:

Jory is an amazing coach! I was a client for 3 months and learned a lot about my own strengths and resilience. She helped me visualize and plan how to be a better leader, gain clarity about the synergy between my personal and professional life, and stretch my thinking. She honed in on activating skills and tools to better my self-awareness and growth! Her approach is always thoughtful and positive, even when discussing difficult topics. I really enjoyed our time together and highly recommend her services. "

M.M PHD, PMP, Senior Director
Jory is an excellent Coach, and teacher, whom I highly recommend. Her empathy, sensitivity, and kindness; combined with a genuine curiosity, true commitment to the process, and big heart; helped make my sessions with her profound and deeply meaningful. She also just happens to be possibly the nicest person you will ever meet. Thank you, Jory, for all you do!

D.A. Founder at Arnett Law Group
I had the privilege of working with Jory as I was navigating a career transition. It is safe to say that there is no way I would have managed through the transition as effectively as I did without her and her exceptional coaching! Jory always asked extremely thoughtful questions, challenging me to think outside of the box regarding how I approached the transition. She was willing to role play various scenarios with me so I felt confident going into meetings with leadership and felt prepared for the variety of questions that inevitably ended up coming my way. While Jory is a fantastic coach, more importantly, she is one of the kindest and most genuine people I have ever met. She cares deeply about her clients, and even when she is challenging you, you know she is coming from a place of care and a desire to see you reach your full potential personally and professionally. I will be forever grateful for my time with Jory as I can truly say I am a better person because of her! I would highly recommend her as a coach, particularly if you are navigating a period of transition!

L.N, PMP, Head of Management, Captial One
I first met Jory in late 2021. My goal was to work with a coach to help me evaluate and clarify my career goals. Throughout our sessions, she helped me not only understand my career goals, but where my career fell within my broader long term personal goals. Jory held space for me to go in different directions and then wove those conversations together in a way that helped me better understand my core values, and perceptions of myself that were helping & hindering my growth. Our coaching evolved and was so impactful that we worked together for 1 year. Jory truly helped me in a moment when I felt apprehensive about change and gave me tools that I still use today.

D.M. People Leader, Wing
Jory has been a game changing part of both my professional and personal life. She is beyond kind and knowledgable, and I always find her coaching to be the approach I need in that moment. She takes the time to get to know her clients and their personal values - she truly cares about each of us. I not only realize moments of growth during our sessions, but have seen the long lasting approach her coaching has had on my life since. She has helped me build more resilience and self-empathy, and I find myself showing up as my best self more often because of the work we've done. I would highly recommend Jory for anyone who is interested in professional or personal coaching - there is truly no one better!
