Your speaker - Jen Goddard

At Soulfire Coaching, Jen supports women in finance to create success that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.

Drawing on 18 years' experience as an actuary with organisations including HSBC, LV=, Aviva and Phoenix Group, alongside seven years of coaching women from early career professionals through to partnership and board level, Jen helps women move beyond burnout, self-doubt and the pressure to constantly prove themselves.

From her own experience of reaching functional burnout she learnt that true and sustainable success begins from within. When women reconnect with who they are, understand what is driving their patterns and honour their inner world, everything changes - from their energy and confidence to the impact they have as leaders.

Through coaching and workshops, she helps women reconnect with their strengths and values, build genuine self-trust, and develop a way of working and leading that is both sustainable and authentic.

Jen is delighted to bring this perspective to WIBF through a workshop designed for the Personal Excellence Programme, equipping women with practical tools to lead with confidence, resilience and clarity, while creating success on their own terms.
