Work is a human right

Many professionals spend years wondering why they're constantly exhausted, overwhelmed, underperforming, masking, or questioning their confidence. Too often, these experiences are interpreted as personal shortcomings rather than useful information.

Your signals aren't something to overcome.

They're something to understand.

I am a SACDA certified Career Development Practitioner and Certified Coach in Neurodiversity at Work (from the University of British Columbia), and I support career transitions, life orientation, job dissatisfaction, relocation, community building and belonging.

ABOUT

MY STORY

​​I'm Jenny Bakker,​ with over 28 years of industry experience, I've advised more than 30 founders across B2B, B2C, and business services. Owned two successful agencies and worked with blue-chip brands, (Pepsico CA, Durex CA, Campari SA, Unilever USA, Red Bull SA, Barclays Wealth UK and more).

 

But I have also spent much of my career trying to survive systems that were never designed for systems-thinkers. I’ve seen what poor management does to people, how it erodes confidence, silences creativity, and leaves capable, good humans doubting themselves long after they leave the room.

​​

I’ve lived it.
And I’ve watched others live it too.

Today, my work has evolved into Career/work/ entrepreneruship support for individuals and organisations so that our children,  don’t grow up fluent in inclusion at school, only to be unlearned in the workforce.

Take a look at my education too!

Why Neuro-Affirmative
TRAINING at work  

Coaching Canary celebrates neurodiversity in the same way we value biodiversity in nature. 

Different minds bring different ways of thinking, solving problems, creating systems and seeing opportunities that others may miss.
