About Jessica
IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WITH A POWERFUL STORY TO DEEPLY INSPIRE YOUR AUDIENCE, CULTIVATE A GREATER SENSE OF RESILIENCE AND MAKE ANY PERSON A BELIEVER IN THEMSELVES, YOU'VE FOUND HER!
Following the joyous birth of our third child in 2007, my spouse tragically died from maternal complications just three days later. As a single parent of three, including a newborn infant, I had no choice but to continue on, navigating the immense grief, parenting, and providing for my family, all while working in a fast paced executive role.
In 2015, just one year after I launched Schiller Bikes, our home burned to the ground and my family lost everything. Everything. And to make things even harder, I had invested almost all of my savings into my then fledgling startup and was facing near constant rejection from investors (one investor in particular called my water bikes “the worst idea ever”).
In the Summer of 2022, on the heels of marrying the love of my life on the beautiful sandy beaches of Kauai, my loving 20-year-old daughter, Naomi, died from a Fentanyl overdose. And my world shattered. To bury your child is one of the worst human experiences imaginable. The grief is overwhelming, complex and debilitating. And then there’s the feelings of shame, regret, failure, and loss of purpose.
And not one of these unimaginable experiences has stopped me from rising up again from the ashes, from truly living the life I was given.
MY MISSION IS TO HELP OTHERS REIGNITE THAT SPARK OF SELF BELIEF, OVERCOME ANY CHALLENGE, AND REALIZE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL AS A HUMAN BEING.
Bio
In 2013, Jessica became the first person to ever ride a bike across the waters of the SF Bay and Hudson River. Following these historic crossings, she launched her company, Schiller Bikes, and has since built a global brand spanning 80 countries, a new product category, a competitive sport, and mode of urban transportation on a blue planet. Prior to founding Schiller Bikes, she was the co-Founder and CEO of Saatchi & Saatchi S (one of the first global marketing firms focused on transforming Fortune 500 companies for a sustainable future), the Founder of Solution Ladder Coaching & Training, and a corporate lawyer practicing Mergers & Acquisitions in the Silicon Valley office of Weil, Gotshal & Manges.
In 2024, Jessica became the first person in history to ride a bike from San Francisco to the infamous Farallon Islands. Coined “Naomi’s Ride” to honor the memory of her daughter, Jessica’s feat of incredible bravery and endurance biking through treacherous waters in peak Great White Shark season is a testament to her immense capacity for resilience and renewal.
Jessica currently lives in Marin County, California with her youngest child.

COACHING
NEXT-LEVEL PERSONALIZED COACHING FOR ENTREPRENEURS, EXECUTIVES AND BUSINESS LEADERS
Powerful conversations
​
​No generic advice
​
Serious motivation from a deeply compassionate human
​
Results are what matters
​

You are amazing.
And you demand more out of life than the average person.
You’ve put in the long hours, impressed your friends and colleagues, and achieved a real level of success. And you want to go beyond where you are presently.
Maybe you want more freedom, more money, more joy or something you can’t quite put your finger on, but you know it’s calling you.
Whether it means setting your sights on a new company role, charting a new direction for your brand, harnessing your creativity and vision to bring something incredible to life, or discovering new ways to harness your talents and magic to help others.
THERE'S A PASSION BURNING INSIDE YOU, I SEE IT. AND I GET IT. BECAUSE I’VE BEEN THERE TOO.
Let’s make it happen. Together.
I'm neither a guru nor a band-aid. I’m a coach with a mission to get you where you want to be.
I first got certified as a coach back in 2003, long before coaching became mainstream and most people had never even heard of the term outside of sports. The idea to become a coach came to me while I was slaving away at a top tier, international law firm. Despite having a family to support, I knew that being chained to my desk, billing 90 hours a week and feeling suffocated by the endless document reviews and negotiations just wasn’t what I was meant to be doing. From the very beginning, I loved coaching, every client, every conversation, every win my clients proudly shared with me.
For me, great coaching is not about temporary spikes of productivity or trying to fix something that isn’t broken. It’s about working together one step at a time, one solution at a time, and unleashing your greatness.
In our weekly, 1:1 coaching sessions, we will not only focus on vital areas such as self-awareness, motivation, self-care, strategy, and cultivation of long-lasting habits but we will also ensure that each session concludes with a definitive action plan outlining your next steps.
This approach guarantees that our progress is not only measured but also continuously built upon.
In addition to our weekly sessions, you’ll get unlimited texts, recordings of our sessions, and a variety of resources to help you stay on track with your journey of self discovery and growth.
​We'll be a great fit if you want to:
FINALLY FREE YOURSELF FROM THE "WHAT IF" THOUGHTS.
MOVE FROM STUCK TO SHINING.
UNWIND THE PATTERNED THINKING THAT SERVED YOU ONCE, BUT DOESN'T ANYMORE.
BECOME LASER-FOCUSED ON WHAT TO DO NEXT,
WITHOUT READING YET ANOTHER SELF-HELP BOOK.
BE CHALLENGED TO MOVE THROUGH YOUR TASKS
WITHOUT BEING TOLD WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU.
DO WHAT YOU LOVE, ON YOUR OWN TERMS WITHOUT BEING JUDGED FOR YOUR CHOICES.
​That's Coaching.
