A little about Jeanne...
Jeanne Ward Coaching supports parents through divorce and coparenting by helping them move from emotional overwhelm to confident, thoughtful decision-making—so they can create calmer, more secure lives for themselves and their children. The divorce and coparent coaching provides sessions with one or both parents to focus on the situations that matter most to each client. Through this process, clients are supported in slowing things down, gaining clarity around their values and goals, and developing thoughtful, practical approaches to communication, decision-making, and navigating challenging moments. This coaching helps clients move out of reactivity and into intention—so they can show up as the parent they want to be. Clients leave feeling more confident and grounded, with clearer boundaries, more peaceful homes, and a greater ability to be gentle with themselves and others.

Testimonials
"After 20 years of a happy marriage, I was stunned and emotionally paralyzed by my husbands actions that led to our divorce. Working with Jeanne has helped me to process what I am experiencing and feeling. Jeanne is attentive and offers solid guidance especially when I often feel overwhelmed. Our work helps me to be more compassionate with myself and my kids. This allows me to approach the divorce and my ex from various angles so that I can respond in the way that's best for me and our kids." BB
"I've always known Jeanne to be extraordinarily empathetic and a keen listener. She has the gift of consistently being able to pinpoint the powerful, self-affirming essence of what you're saying even if you think you've been rambling incoherently. Working with Jeanne as a co-parenting coach during an extremely contentious and emotionally exhausting transitional period confirmed all this while revealing even greater skills and strengths to help me show up as a parent/co-parent in the ways I wanted to but had come to doubt I could. Jeanne's coaching made me feel stronger, less overwhelmed and distraught, more anchored and open to possibility. Instead of feeling as though the only choices were giving up or being permanently embattled, Jeanne's compassion and curiosity constantly led me back to deeper self-awareness and consideration of how to connect and/or reconnect with my children during and despite co-parenting conflict. Being coached by Jeanne has helped restore and boost my confidence and composure as a co-parent." ML
Client Conversations: Motivational Interviewing for Divorce Attorneys with Jeanne Ward of Jeanne Ward Coaching
Divorce attorneys often face clients who resist decisions and vent instead of progressing. Motivational Interviewing (MI) offers a practical framework for addressing this resistance, tailored for family law. This session teaches attorneys how to identify true sources of resistance, encourage productive actions, and foster cooperative client relationships.
Client Conversations: Motivational Interviewing for Divorce Attorneys with Jeanne Ward of Jeanne Ward Coaching
Every divorce attorney knows the feeling. The client who can't make a decision. The one who fights every recommendation. The one who uses every meeting to vent instead of move forward. It's not that they don't want resolution — it's that they're stuck, and no amount of logic or legal reasoning is going to unstick them. Motivational Interviewing is a communication approach built for exactly this. Originally developed in clinical settings, MI has become one of the most effective tools for navigating conversations where emotions are high and forward motion has stalled — which makes it a natural fit for family law. This session introduces MI in a way that's designed specifically for divorce attorneys. No clinical background needed, no jargon, no role-playing exercises that make everyone uncomfortable. Just a practical, immediately applicable framework for the conversations you're already having. You'll learn how to recognize what's actually driving client resistance (it's rarely what it looks like on the surface), move emotionally stuck clients toward productive action without pushing them into a wall, reduce the conflict and circular conversations that eat up your time and their retainer, and create the conditions for more focused, cooperative clients — the kind who actually follow through between sessions. If you've ever left a client meeting thinking "I don't know how to get through to this person," this session gives you a concrete way in.
