Ginger Jenks, MCC

Ginger Jenks is an Executive Coach who specializes in the areas of leadership development, communication, team building and life design.  She works with organizations, teams and individuals, coaching them to be who they are capable of being – not just who they can get away with being.  Ginger has created several programs to facilitate this, including the Professional Human Being program. 

Ginger is the President of Magellan Enterprises, which she founded in 1995.  She is in the top 1% of her profession, as a Master Certified Coach, the highest level of certification awarded by the International Coach Federation.

Ginger has served on the Board of Directors for the International Coach Federation (a global organization of 15,000 coaches from over 80 countries), the Advisory Board of the International Consortium for Coaching in Organizations, and presently serves  on the Finance Committee for the ICF.  She has also held various other leadership positions in organizations outside of coaching.

Drawing forth the potential in the whole person or team is Ginger’s sweet spot – more joy, better results!  Consciousness around goals, vision and communication develops stronger mental agility and more wins.  She excels in many venues - Ginger is a top national competitor with  her champion Samoyeds in dog agility and conformation.  At the age of 16, she performed with the Boston Pops Orchestra, under Arthur Fiedler.  A core Magellan concept is that leaders who are Professional Human Beings – attending to development of all aspects of themselves - lead happier lives, which translates into more success in all venues.

Originally from the Boston area, Ginger presently lives in the beautiful mountain town of Durango, Colorado.  She coaches several CEO’s, and clients have hailed from Fortune 500 companies to start-ups to agility competitors.   Many of her clients are associated with the commercial real estate industry, where Ginger spent 13 years in development and asset management and has considerable expertise and experience.

Ginger views her purpose in life as experiencing joy and helping others to do the same.
