In all Jen does, she seeks to cultivate connection with one’s self, others and the world towards a more mindful, authentically expressed life, and a more connected and compassionate world.
As a facilitator and ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC), Jen supports various individuals, teams and organizations in working towards their own and collective wellbeing and resilience through transformational, human-centered coaching programs with Haraya Coaching and her own coaching practice.
Her work as a facilitator, coach and learning designer, along with her value for creativity and connection led her to create Ugnayan Cards in 2023, a tool to support anyone interested in cultivating connections with one’s self, others and the world through meaningful and liberating reflections and conversations.
As a researcher and writer, she also co-produced two podcasts, The Imaginable Workplace, which aims to reimagine and co-create better places to work (now on its second season), and Muni on This, which resulted in 18 episodes of various creatives working towards a more mindful, equitable, livable world.
Her value for connection also compels her to bring community together -- as current chapter lead of Culture First Manila, a global community of people geeks who dream of a better world of work, and previously as chief collaborator of Muni.
She continues to integrate, distill and share research and reflections about wellbeing, creativity, culture, connection, wholeness and more through her newsletter, Pagbubuo at jenhorn.substack.com.
She is currently learning more about expressive arts facilitation with The Arts and Health Institute, as well as somatic coaching of The Power of Embodied Transformation with Coaches Rising.
She completed her core and advanced coach training certifications from Coach Masters Academy, team coach certification level 1 from Leadership in Motion, and most recently, her human-centered coach certification from Haraya Coaching.
She received a Chevening scholarship in 2018, and completed her MSc in Sustainable Development with distinction in 2019 from the University of Surrey in the UK, where her research focused on developing a framework for understanding the personal motivations of sustainability leaders in the Philippines. She also completed her BA in Psychology with honorable mention in 2006 from De La Salle University, Manila.
