About the presenter:

​Jess Ringgenberg, founder and CEO of ELIXR, left what looked like a thriving corporate career to work toward closing systematic gaps in the workplace for mothers. As a mom and a woman leader in a corporate system without support, she experienced the existing gap for all working mothers first-hand, and she couldn’t look away.

​She became a matrescence expert, a certified coach, and an advocate for self-coaching – all used to provide businesses with focused programs that properly support moms at work.

​Jess is also the resident coach inside The Society of Working Moms, offering members weekly group coaching sessions and teaching them self-coaching skills to be able to thrive at work and at home.
