Jeanine Izzo

As a Professional Development Coach, Jeanine Izzo excels at leading others to create pro-active patterns in their life in order to experience more personal and professional fulfillment.  She supports this by advocating self-leadership activities which reduce blame/victim mentality and elevate individual and organizational success.  Using her seemingly innate ability to bridge gaps and build efficiencies she designs and delivers programs that meet the needs of the business while supporting the wants of employees.

Prior to a full-time focus in Training and Development, Izzo spent numerous years working in program/project management and marketing for manufactured consumer goods.  During this time, she led cross functional teams in new product development, including multiple projects with outsourced vendors both domestically and in China.  Success was achieved by setting clear expectations for team members and supporting them through the learning curve and implementation.  In addition, she proposed and implemented major process initiatives to support efficient work methods and reduce the panic of managing by reaction.  In the case of enhanced project planning, the variance between estimates and actuals was reduced by more than fifty percent through better information near the start and reduced churn and burn through the life of the project.

In addition to her undergraduate degree in Business/Marketing, Izzo holds professional designations in Project Management (PMP) and Development Coaching (CPC) through the Project Management Institute and the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching, respectively.  She is a Master Practitioner of the Energy Leadership Index, an impactful attitudinal assessment tool.

Motivated by her desire to make more positive shifts in the world, she co-founded Viage Partners. a company that provides professional development programs and coaching to enhance the lives of people and the productivity of organizations.  She is clear to state that these are not mutually exclusive!

Throughout her adult life, Izzo has consciously stretched herself.  Her passion is getting out of her comfort zone.  She claims this is where her most phenomenal experiences take place.  She enjoys seeking new knowledge and understanding through people, places and experiences.  She has completed triathlons, summited Mt. Kilimanjaro and traveled to numerous countries to fuel her thirst for nature, adventure and cultural knowledge.
