A sounding board; I’m here to challenge your current thinking, your processes, and even your goals.

I am University of Life qualified, experience over theory, and spent large parts of my life speaking Truth To Power trying to prevent mistakes that are all to obvious to those doing the work.

I have a particular interest in Social Value, and how this links to Workplace Culture and Leadership, which in turn leads to improved Motivation, improved Recruitment and Retention and improved Innovation.  Basically, how soft skills benefit the bottom line.

Hi, I'm Jeanette - or Jet to everyone - and I run smartphone photography masterclasses for corporate clients and personal.  My ethos is that photography should be available to everyone, and by combining my teaching background, along with my corporate and commercial photography business I ran for 13 years, I combined the two and launched Jet Black Squares.  My smartphone photography masterclasses are available online, where my phone is live-streamed to Zoom (or your chosen platform), so you can see exactly what I see, or, when allowed, in-person.   There is also a huge correlation between photography and mental health, especially at the moment, and my 'Step Away from your Desk' sessions are a great way to leave the laptop behind, get out in the fresh air for an hour and learn a new skill.
