Jennifer Eggers
President, LeaderShift Insights®
The LeaderShift® Story
LeaderShift Insights® was founded In 2007 by Jennifer Eggers after 15 years in senior corporate and consulting roles. She recognized two major challenges in organizations:
- Repetitive restructuring initiatives don’t work and create more disruption than growth.
- Leadership development, while expensive, rarely delivers real business impact.
Determined to change this, Jennifer leveraged her operational expertise to develop a groundbreaking approach that bridges leadership development and organizational alignment in a way neither the business nor HR communities had seen before.
LeaderShift Insights® was founded to deliver:
- High-impact leadership development programs that drive measurable ROI.
- RapidOD, our fast, collaborative organizational alignment process, designed to create scalable structures that drive strategy while minimizing disruption.
Our work is deeply rooted in Adaptive Leadership principles, strengthened by strategic partnerships with the University of Georgia Executive Education and Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.
By 2015, after working with hundreds of organizations in disruption, Jennifer turned her focus to resilience—the single most critical skill for leaders today. This work led to a bestselling book, Resilience: It’s Not About Bouncing Back (co-authored with Cynthia Barlow in 2019), which became a global success just months before the pandemic redefined disruption on a massive scale.
The pandemic further shaped LeaderShift Insights as the demand for leadership development shifted to more one on one coach at senior levels. Jennifer combined 25 years of consulting and coaching experience to create a blended advisory solution targeting C-Level leaders who need big results quickly.
In 2020, LeaderShift Insights formalized several frequently requested services including:
- Strategic Business Advisory – A blend of coaching and consulting that sets executives with high stakes roles up for success quickly
- Executive Integration Coaching – Helps leaders in new roles integrate quickly to new cultures and expectations while demonstrating visible leadership fast
- Strategic Planning Facilitation – A structured program to get senior teams aligned around a clearly articulated strategy and the capabilities required to deliver it
- Board Alignment – A program designed to get boards on the same page with how to engage and contribute maximum value
In 2025, Jennifer consolidated the lessons from 30 years of working with C-Level leaders in over half the 50 states, 17 countries and over 20% of the Fortune 500 into the international best seller, Mastering the C-Suite: The Seniors Leaders’ Playbook to Build a C-Level Mindset, Command Respect, and Lead an Enterprise.
Today, LeaderShift Insights® is a trusted partner to senior executives and boards, providing strategic advisory services, high-stakes facilitation, and executive coaching. Our expertise helps leaders align teams, drive strategy, and navigate complex challenges—ensuring they unravel the tough issues that hinder results and thrive in the face of change.

Clients Include
We are at the front lines working with our clients by equipping them with the skills and tools to deliver exceptional business results. Experience and adaptive leadership enable us to serve our clients and help them unravel tough issues that hinder results.
We Are Not Those Guys
We are not consultants. At least the ones you think you know.
If you’ve worked with the shiny suits and been left with binders instead of tools your team is excited to use, we feel you. We’ve been there and we will never be that firm.
We won't take up space in your conference rooms or wander your halls fishing for work or talking to your boss about you.
We Are You
We have been in your shoes. Literally.
We’ve endured those endless leadership meetings when all we wanted to do was get things done. We know the itch of wasted time, resources and potential.
We won't waste your time.
What We Do
We won’t tell you what to do. Our process will guide you to figure it out.
We offer proven, research-backed tools and processes that enable you to do more with the same resources you already have. Your expertise applied to our process accelerates solutions and unravels the tough issues getting in the way of results.
We won't recreate what you've already done. We leverage that as a starting point to propel you farther.
Working Together
You know your business. We won’t insult your intelligence or change things for change’s sake.
Our job is to bring our proven (battle tested), research-backed tools and processes to enable you to move forward faster while creating alignment and increasing your team's capacity to deal with disruptive change.
We build solutions in collaboration with you, so they stand up long after we are gone.
We speak “executive” in kitchen English.
How We Are Different
Once issues are understood, we’ll push you to stop admiring the problem and dispense with the analysis paralysis that gets people swimming in circles so you can get things done. We would rather go live with 90% than see a client miss an opportunity waiting for perfection. Most of our clients are building the ‘plane’ while flying it. We’ll meet you there.

LeaderShift Insights® Values
Self-Care
We value and model self-care and build that into projects and scheduling.
Equip The Client
(Don't move in)
We teach leaders to execute without us. Doing our job right makes us obsolete. We are on-site when we need to be, but won’t tie up a conference room or wander your halls trying to sell work and talk to your boss about you when we don’t.
Alignment
Quite simply, we create alignment. Our sweet spot is in getting your leadership team and organization on the same page, aligned to your strategy, priorities and, most importantly, to your customer.
Kitchen English
We don’t like ‘consulting speak’. We get to know you, use your lingo and ideas that are understandable in your world.
Fast
We would rather go live with 90% than miss an opportunity waiting for perfection. We are resourceful and scrappy, but we don't do shoddy work. Many of our clients are building the ‘plane’ while flying it. That’s our airspace.
Pragmatic
We grew up as business leaders. Nothing gets your attention like managing a P&L to create solutions that are workable where they’re needed.
Once issues are understood, we’ll push you to stop admiring the problem so you can get things done.
Flexible
We adjust our approach and solution to your unique organization. If you want cutting edge solutions, we’re there with you. Baby steps? We can do that too.
Collaborative
You employ smart people to lead your company and leveraging them is often the most positive path forward. We help get them unstuck and bring in expertise to unravel the tough issues so you can get results.
Winning
We work with champions. We won't do things we know won't work or don't believe will be successful, for any fee.
