Our Approach
Jaybird Advisors is a boutique consulting firm that helps people and organizations solve important challenges.
Our work is built on the understanding that transformation happens not only at the organizational level but within each individual who contributes to that mission. As such, we strive to build collective capacity and enhance individual agency, allowing teams to collaborate in innovative, adaptive ways.
The Jaybird approach is research-driven and human-centered, which ensures solutions are based on data and evidence, as well as trends. This consultative style ensures that strategies are digestible as well as sustainable, addressing both immediate challenges and long-term goals.
About Dr. Jenny Peters
I’m Dr. Jenny Peters, founder and principal advisor of Jaybird Advisors.
This consulting practice combines my extensive leadership experience with a fresh, innovative approach to problem-solving. As organizations face an increasingly dynamic environment, I bring creative, customized strategies that are designed to move the needle and create sustainable growth.
With a doctorate in Organizational Leadership from Marian University, I combine academic expertise with hands-on leadership experience to help organizations and the people that run them create cultures that face and embrace challenges. And I don't do it alone. I'm thrilled to partner with some of the brightest thinkers and most brilliant consultants, who also happen to be really wonderful people.
I’ve spent over 25 years working in both public and private sectors, including 10 years leading from the C-suite at one of the largest nonprofit organizations in Indiana. I’ve built a reputation as an innovative thinker and partnership maker – creating new businesses, entering new markets, and helping raise millions of dollars for those in need.
I’m also a strategist and storyteller at heart.
