About J Schmidt Consulting

Jenny Schmidt is an analytics and human resources consultant specializing in three distinct but complementary services.  Two of her services are specifically targeted to data and analytics professionals and organizations, while her third speciality offers Insights Discovery® personality assessment training that can serve a wide variety of professions. Jenny offers these services individually or in different combinations.

Jenny is a specialist in coaching data and analytics talent on the non-technical aspects of the job. She utilizes a goal-based coaching program to create “ah-ha" moments and break-throughs in personal development for data and analytics leaders and professionals.

Jenny also consults with human resources and analytics leaders to build analytics capabilities across the organization through a process of Strategic Workforce Planning.  Planning the talent of the future requires being intentional about recruiting, org structures, job descriptions, career paths, rotational programs, and learning plans that meet the current and future talent needs of the analytics organization.

Additionally, Jenny’s services reach a wide variety of professions through her use of the Insights Discovery® personality assessment tool.  This training introduces teams to a common language they can use to identify their strengths, communicate preferences, and recognize the value each member brings to the team, enabling individuals and teams to perform at their highest level. Jenny facilitates workshops to introduce these concepts and strengthen the understanding between team members or between different teams, resulting in an increase in effectiveness and their ability to work together.
