Long Bio:
Jenny Blake is an author, blogger, life coach and speaker. She has been featured on Forbes.com,US News & World Report, CNN.com and is nationally recognized as a leader among Gen Y.
Jenny recently took her own great leap by leaving Google to move to New York City and pursue her passions full-time. She is focused on helping others “Wake up, live big and love the journey” through coaching, speaking, and her latest project, Make Sh*t Happen — an 8-week course that takes people’s big GIANT goals from “improbable” idea to inevitable success snowball.
During her time at Google, Jenny worked for over five years in training, coaching, career development and Authors@Google. Her most recent role was as Career Development Program Manager, where she focused on building scalable solutions to help Googlers focus on their personal growth and career development.
The experience of leaving school before her friends inspired her to start a blog, LifeAfterCollege.org, which she has now translated into a book, Life After College: The Complete Guide to Getting What You Want. Prior to Google and halfway through her junior year at UCLA, Jenny took a leave of absence to help launch a political polling start-up company, Polimetrix (later acquired and renamed YouGov America), with her college professor and mentor. She returned to finish at UCLA in the spring of 2005.
