Jennifer (Jenn) Chloupek - ACMC Mentor Coach Directory

Biographical Info

Jennifer Chloupek, PCC, M.Ed., is an executive coach, mentor coach, coach educator, author, and founder of ABC Leadership & Coaching Academy, fueled by Chloupek Consulting Services.  She is passionate about helping coaches and leaders grow through greater awareness, intentional behaviors, and meaningful connection.

As a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credentialed by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), Jennifer specializes in mentor coaching for coaches pursuing or strengthening their ICF ACC and PCC-level coaching skills.  Her mentoring focus includes coaching presence, active listening, evoking awareness, partnering with clients, ethical practice, coaching mindsets, and helping coaches translate the ICF Core Competencies into observable coaching behaviors.  Her mentor coaching approach is supportive, practical, and deeply grounded in the ICF Core Competencies.  She helps coaches listen for what is beneath the surface, trust the client’s wisdom, partner more fully, ask cleaner and more powerful questions, and create space for the client’s insight and ownership.

Jennifer’s work is shaped by her ABC Framework: Awareness, Behaviors, and Connections.  In mentor coaching, this means helping coaches become more aware of their coaching presence, patterns, assumptions, and habits; refine the behaviors that create transformational coaching conversations; and build deeper connections with clients through trust, partnership, and curiosity.  She integrates her Internal Driver* work to help coaches understand the motivations and filters that influence how they show up in coaching conversations.

Jennifer has extensive experience designing and delivering coach education, leadership development, and organizations’ internal coaching programs. Through ABC Leadership & Coaching Academy, she supports coaches and organizations in building coaching capacity with integrity, excellence, and a strong ethical foundation.  Her background includes executive coaching, leadership facilitation, women’s leadership development, DiSC-based communication work, and the design of coaching programs that help leaders shift from managing performance to coaching behaviors.

Jennifer’s niche areas include executive coaching, leadership development, organizations’ internal coach certification programs, coaching culture development, coach education, women’s leadership, communication, behavioral awareness, and the ABC Framework: Awareness, Behaviors, and Connections.  She also integrates her Internal Driver work to help coaches and leaders understand the deeper motivations, filters, and patterns that influence how they lead, coach, communicate, and build trust.

Jennifer offers both 1:1 and small group (<10) mentor coaching.  She enjoys working with coaches who want honest, encouraging feedback; a safe space to practice and reflect; and a mentor who can help them translate the ICF competencies into real, observable coaching behaviors.  Her goal is to help coaches grow in confidence, deepen their presence, and develop a coaching style that is both effective and authentic.

Whether you are preparing for an ICF credential, refining your coaching skills, or developing a stronger coaching practice, Jennifer invites you to connect with her and explore how mentor coaching can support your growth.

*Internal Driver is a core concept from Jenn’s book, How to ID Your Internal Driver and Why It Matters.  It refers to the deeper motivation beneath how we lead, communicate, make decisions, and respond to challenges.  In this work, Jenn leads individuals through an exercise examining their Past Experiences, including values, formative messages, and the people, places, and experiences that shaped who they are today, as well as their Present Experiences, including strengths, weaknesses, values, and passions.  By exploring the common thread between the two, individuals begin to identify what may be driving them beneath the surface.  For some, that Internal Driver may be to be heard, to please others, to add value, to prove a point, or to shine.

An individual’s Internal Driver may be both a superpower and kryptonite.  When people gain awareness of what drives their behavior, they gain insight into why they show up the way they do and can make more intentional choices about whether that behavior is serving them, others, and the moment.  This awareness creates the opportunity for meaningful behavior change, which leads to stronger, more authentic connections.  This is the heart of her ABC Framework: Awareness, Behaviors, and Connections.
