Jenna Cornell has over 25 years in education with 10 of those years mentoring others in communication. She has 10 years of communication industry experience in radio broadcasting which focuses on community, communication, teamwork, and emceeing. Jenna is also a corporate communication trainer; she has designed and facilitated corporate communication courses for the banking, manufacturing, and small business sectors. As she likes to put it, “Communication is my jam.” 

Jenna holds an MFA in creative and professional writing as well as an MA in English, creative writing, and screenwriting. An award-winning poet (2026) and writer, her work is found in 25 (and counting) online and print publications. Jenna is an award-winning filmmaker whose screenplays and films have been chosen at 29 film festivals. An all around creative, she dives into photography and painting with her paintings being part of art installations over the years.

Even though she is a creative at heart, communication coaching is a passion of hers. Communication deeply impacts success both personally and professionally; however, it is not taught in a classroom until college level. People enter adult relationships and professional careers without a solid foundation in essential communication with many relying on what they learned from family and peers. Jenna wants to change that trajectory. As someone who still puts her foot in her mouth, she understands all the faux pas people do when writing and speaking. Jenna is on a mission to help people improve their communication, so they can build strong relationships in their personal and professional lives.

As a coach, Jenna approaches things with sarcastic humor and down-to-earth understanding because if people can’t laugh at their mistakes, how are they going to effectively make improvements? Her mentoring philosophy is centered on taking responsibility, learning how to improve, and failing forward.
