ABOUT JESS

Hey there, I'm Jess Pierce (she/her) — a transformational consultant, facilitator, and visionary leader with over 25 years of frontline and leadership experience in the field of youth homelessness. My career has been rooted in supporting young people and the staff who walk alongside them, navigating complex systems with heart, grit, and deep commitment to equity.

Today, I bring that same dedication into So Focused Consulting LLC, guiding organizations through meaningful culture shifts. I specialize in helping teams reset, rebuild, and reimagine the ways they communicate, collaborate, and lead.

My work lives at the intersection of compassion and accountability. I support organizations in navigating internal challenges, cultivating psychological safety, and building brave spaces where every voice matters. Whether I'm working with front-line staff or executive teams, my goal is to foster shared understanding, disrupt harmful dynamics, and co-create cultures rooted in trust, clarity, and human connection.

I’ve led courageous conversations around racial equity, trauma-informed leadership, and organizational healing. My facilitation style is direct yet heart-centered — I believe transformation happens when we make space for truth-telling, reflection, and collective ownership.

When your team is ready for a reset — I'm here to guide you through it.
