Jennifer Brand

Professional Certified Coach (PCC) 

Jennifer Brand, the founder of Aletheia Discoveries, LLC, is an Executive Coach focusing on individual and organizational well-being. Her formal coaching journey began in 2016, but her public service career had been gently moving her to this path long before. Jennifer has wanted to serve people throughout her career, which began with her legal career. In 1991, she served as a criminal prosecutor in Massachusetts. She left Massachusetts in 1998 and joined the Federal government. As a federal employee and leader, she has provided both legal and policy advice and expertise.

 As Jennifer’s career progressed, she found her sense of purpose related to her job was waning. Although she found her roles as an advisor, leader, and mentor rewarding, she began gravitating to what gave her the most joy. As a result, Jennifer began exploring the parts of her job that gave her the greatest sense of professional fulfillment. She recognized that working with her staff to meet their professional goals was the most rewarding aspect of her job. Not long after, Jennifer completed George Mason University’s Leadership Coaching for Organizational Well-Being (LCOWB). Jennifer also has an interest in health and wellness. Her health journey, including living with dietary limitations and stress reduction, led her to seek a health and wellness focus in addition to her leadership focus. Jennifer earned a Health Coach certification from an accredited National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching (NBHWC) program and holds a NB-HWC credential from the National Board of Health & Wellness Coaching.

Jennifer is a member of the International Coach Federation (ICF) and holds an ICF Associate Certified Coach credential. Since graduating from LCOWB, Jennifer has coached executive leaders and professionals in discovering their strengths and connecting with their values and motivations. She also coaches clients to optimize their health and wellness and/or reach health and wellness goals. She supports her clients and helps them increase self-awareness and resilience to reach their goals and/or new career heights. Her clients enjoy her calm approach and the focus she creates with her coaching style. As your trusted coaching partner, she will support your accountability, authenticity, and well-being throughout your coaching journey. With Jennifer as your coach, you will uncover your strengths, elevate your talents, find your voice, and develop tools to navigate well—being to reach your desired outcomes.

Jennifer’s coaching style reflects who she is as a person. Her clients describe her as a trusted and reliable confidante. As a leader in her professional life, she is often described as a straight shooter and quick thinker with a calming presence. As your coach, she will bring these qualities to every session. Jennifer creates a comfortable atmosphere for psychological safety. Her warm, welcoming personality supports clients in building trust, feeling heard, and authentically exploring to reach their goals. Her experience as a lawyer, particularly in the courtroom, has enabled Jennifer to listen on all levels, leading to insightful observations.

With her honest and down-to-earth approach, possibilities are abundant for her clients as her life experiences enrich her coaching process. Jennifer believes deeply in integrating well-being practices into her daily life to help reduce stress and stay resilient. Her favorite practices include running, meditation, and connecting with friends and family.  Jennifer currently lives in Loudoun County, Virginia, with her husband and pup—an Australian Labradoodle. All three enjoy running and hiking in that area. When Jennifer is not at work or on the trails, you will likely find her experimenting in the kitchen and entertaining her friends and family.  She often takes recipes and adapts them with a healthy twist.
