“I just wanted to thank you for your speech yesterday. It was so appropriate and humbling. I was moved by what you said and how you related your calling but…You were the perfect speaker ” (Pala, CA)
Jessi LaCosta is known as a Pathfinder.
She inspires and guides you on your path of resilience, sharing how to build clarity, confidence and direction so you can deliver powerful leadership, thrive, and make an impact on your life, your team, and your organization.
From Oxford Dictionary:
A Pathfinder is: one that discovers a way especially : one that explores untraversed regions to mark out a new route. Jessi LaCosta helps others move their lives forward, discover, uncover and embark on purposeful paths.
From Dictionary.com:
a person who finds or makes a path, way, route, etc., especially through a previously unexplored or untraveled wilderness.
Few people can take a car-jacking experience and launch a rewarding career – that is what Jessi LaCosta has done. She engages and educates her audiences. Pathfinding is about clearing the unnecessary debris – the things that block us from being our best selves, the things that keep us from leading powerful teams. It’s more than overcoming a crisis.
It’s about overcoming adversity and leading with clarity and confidence. LaCosta survived a carjacking at gunpoint at 16 and other professional and personal crises and yet went on to work for top Ad Agencies in the USA, Unique Nonprofits and developed her own successful coaching programs.
With more than 20 years experience in leading small and large groups she helps people become more productive, proficient and resilient. She was one of the first in the United States to use IPNB along with brand development, conflict management and coaching to develop programs, build businesses and improve upon leadership processes.
LaCosta is an ICF Associate Certified Coach, a CCE Board Certified Coach, leadership and resilience advisor. Her background includes 20+ years working across public, private and non-profit sectors in strategic communications, program development, reputation management and organizational effectiveness. Her education in Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB), has equipped LaCosta with a deepened insight into managing crisis and conflict along with developing people to their fullest potential!
