Jennie Blumenthal is the founder of Corporate Rehab where she coaches executives to re-engineer their relationship with work to grow in their current career or in a new opportunity.
Jennie’s “break moment” came in the midst of Covid with kids at home and huge responsibilities at her consulting job. Like a lot of us, she got some space to re-evaluate and realized the amazing career she built over 20 years overseeing 250 employees and consulting with some of the biggest and best Fortune 500 companies in the world still wasn’t utilizing her skills talents, and energy in the ways she wanted.
