Ways to work with me
I’ve spent over 15 years working professionally in the UK cultural sector with the majority of that time working in the UK jazz scene.
I now help ambitious purpose-driven creative people and businesses who feel stretched, unsupported and overwhelmed craft and deliver a concrete two year plan through personalised coaching, mentoring and strategy sessions so that they can:
- Gain clarity, confidence and motivation
- Make more money
- Reinvest in their career, business and community
As a creative educator I help children between ages 4-8 explore their feelings of courage and fear while normalising loss honestly and sensitively through a dynamic assembly and engaging drama workshop to accompany my book, Guardian reviewed true story ‘Becoming Brave’.

I spent over a decade building my own creative business into a multi six-figure music organisation. My background as founder and former CEO of the Abram Wilson charity led me to coaching, mentoring and showcasing over 200 creatives and reaching over 10,000 children and young people through inspiring music education programmes. It took a few years to get going but between 2017-2023 I raised £1million.
If you really want to get clear on how to achieve your long-term ambitions, and make more money so that you can reinvest in your business and community then I can help you.

“It’s hard to put into words just how much Jennie did for me. She has an uncanny instinct for finding the root of what is holding you back, and putting the solutions right there in front of you. She has a huge amount of music industry and life experience, and her understanding of how the personal and professional can intertwine meant that nothing was off limits or irrelevant. I can’t recommend her enough, she is a positive force.”
– Emma Smith, Musician

My sensitive and engaging assembly and workshop for children ages 4-8 combines storytelling, drama activities, and emotional intelligence development to help your children navigate loss, build resilience, and enhance their overall wellbeing.
The assembly and workshop
accompany my Guardian reviewed true story ‘Becoming Brave’, a children’s picture book about love, grief and believing in yourself. It was published by Little Tiger in August 2023 and follows my story and relationship with my late husband, critically acclaimed jazz musician Abram Wilson.
"We loved meeting Jennie.
Her assembly for Year 2 was a really strong element of the day....The children really enjoyed all elements of the workshop and had a lovely time; they are still talking about the book a week later...helping the children really open up about their feelings."
- Tracey Marquand, Head of Year 2, Pilgrims Pre Prep
