Corporate Coaching

Coaching is a process that pairs experienced coaches and clients to co-create goals and foster the relationship to achieve them.

It is a process of helping both employees and their employer focus corporate strategy, vision, mission, and values to improve production as well as retention.

Coaching can be done on a one-to-one basis, or in group or department settings. It’s accomplished with the help of trained, professional coaches with specific experience in like, real-world situations.

Jeanne Schad, President and CEO of Internal Relations, is a passionate believer in the process of coaching for business results.

Growing up in Iowa, Ms. Schad was instilled with a boundless curiosity as well as the value of hard work. Thus it wasn’t too surprising to see her begin a career in the radio business as an on-air talent for a small radio station while she was still in her teens.

Once out of college, with a BS in TV/Radio/Film Management from Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, Ms. Schad landed her first job in advertising at the renowned agency TBWA\Chiat\Day.

She spent a decade in the fast-paced environment of ad agencies and then another four years in media marketing and sales, working her way into the role of Vice President/Director.  This helped Ms. Schad develop a keen insight into how working relationships thrive, foster, and in some cases, fail.  It inspired her to apply her skills to help companies work through their people issues which often stand in the way of their business goals.

Jeanne received coach training at the Academy for Coach Training in Seattle and is a Certified Professional Coach by the International Coach Federation.

In July of 2007, she formed Internal Relations, combining her resources in coaching and insider's knowledge of corporate environments.  She has built a network of over 150 coaches worldwide who share her understanding of corporate culture and are skilled in helping people work through human challenges that come up on the job.

To keep her coaching skills fresh, Jeanne enjoys personally coaching Gen X women who are going through professional transitions: exploring new careers, working through new leadership, or stepping into leadership roles.

Jeanne is also active in the Los Angeles coaching community, serving as the VP/Marketing for the LA Chapter of the Professional Coaches and Mentors Association, coach advisor for the mentorship program for Step Up Women's Network, founding member of coaching program for residents of the Santa Monica Homeless Shelter and an active member of the International Coach Federation and OD in LA organization.

She resides in Venice, CA with her husband.
