I’m Jen Cáceres, a previous HR executive in construction turned transformational growth strategist - helping leaders, teams, and organizations discover what they’ve outgrown - so they can grow again.
I’ve spent most of my career where most speakers & coaches have not.
Creating Space for Growth — Personally and Professionally
My Work
For over two decades, I’ve guided thousands of people through seasons of change — helping them navigate growth with clarity and courage.
My career has taken me from non-profits in inner cities to executive leadership in construction in the boardroom. From top leaders to mid-level management on the front lines.
As a certified executive coach, I take on leaders and teams with kind candor. Together we dig deep to discover what’s getting in the way - where change needs to occur.
I create and facilitate customized leader development programs, team-building and engagement programs that transform how people connect and lead.
My Why
Growing up in rural Wisconsin and Missouri — and later working in the diverse, urban environments of Detroit and Chicago — taught me the power of perspective and meeting people where they’re at. And the power of diversity of thought.
My life’s mission to help others “discover what they’ve outgrown” comes from my own story. I often refer to this as our “backpack of life” — the lessons, hardships, and beliefs we all eventually unpack to grow into who we are and who we were created to be (at work and home).
My Approach
I meet you where you are. Each person, team and organization. I don’t believe in cookie-cutter development or cultures. As unique as each person is, you deserve a customized approach based on the culture and needs of who you are.
My past experience in HR, non-profits and working in urban environments all come into what I do with organizations. I’ll often blend true storytelling, strategy and kind candor to help people see what’s holding them back - and build the courage to evolve.
In 2023, I founded Perpetual Capacity Coaching & Consulting, and in 2024 launched the Stop. Drop. & R.O.L.E. podcast — real conversations for leaders (with or without the title) about growth, change, and reflection.
Beyond the Work
When I’m not working with organizations, you’ll find me exploring the Rocky Mountains, spending time with my adult children or working on my upcoming book.
