The Journey
You're excited to go on the soul-expanding, mind-blowing Journey of Living Your Dream!
...you want to intentionally create an authentically purposeful and uniquely fulfilling tech career.
Tech leaders, we see you...
We know that deep down, sometimes, you don’t feel WHOLE.
You feel the insidious pain of living a comfortable and tolerable life.
You feel stuck - like you’ve hit a plateau in your income, impact and lifestyle… and you don't know HOW to get unstuck.
Some portions of your life are amazing. And you wonder: Why can’t it ALL be amazing? Am I asking for too much?
Your career might be okay. But…you’re bored, unfulfilled, underpaid, overworked, and/or not achieving what you KNOW you can.
Your life outside of work? Okay. But…your romantic relationships lack juiciness, you’re not living in your dream home, and your vitality is not optimal.
You’re doing okay…and that’s KILLING you!
It’s really hard to find people who can relate to this.
Because most people are fine with doing okay.
You're not! You DESERVE more!
But...there’s a part of you that says…
“How dare you want more! Why can’t you be happy with a good, comfortable existence?”
You’re beginning to wonder - as residues of shame, guilt, & resignation wash over you...
Can I really create my dream life? Do I deserve it?
YES YOU CAN! AND YOU DO!
How am I so certain? Because we’ve been honored and humbled to guide hundreds of our tech leader clients on an expansive - sometimes uncomfortable - journey of career and life expansion.
With our expert guidance, our clients feel WHOLE again!
They celebrate who they’ve become: Badass tech leaders who continually co-create fulfillment, joy, love, and passion in every area of their lives.
They embrace the journey of becoming someone who attracts ludicrous amounts of success and fulfillment.
Their careers are thriving! They’re earning more money while they enjoy their work so much that they almost feel guilty - almost. ;)
They work WAY less than they used to - and are wondering what they get to do with the extra time.
And the rest of their lives? Full of JOY!
Their romantic partners are wondering what happened to them - in a good way. ;)
They’re moving into their dream homes and taking their dream vacations - not that they NEED vacations. They WANT them.
They FEEL better physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Here’s the BEST part! That insidious, existential pain of “doing just okay?”
Instead of being a dark cloud that hangs over them day after day…
…it’s now a slight shadow that, in a touchingly melancholic way, reminds them of who they no longer are.
They are no longer fearful of desiring & creating ridiculous amounts of success and fulfillment.
They are unstoppable tech leaders who are connected to their TRUE PURPOSE.
They take inspired, intelligent action from this purpose - and they’re solidly living their dreams - wholly and completely.
And they are an endless source of inspiration for each other - and for anyone else willing to be inspired by their loving, joyful impact.
They’ve taken the journey from good to great to excellent to amazing to extraordinary!
The path to your dream tech career has been carved out
by our clients.

Jen and Rob are the real deal. They're authentic and truly wants to help you excel in your career. I have gone through the People Stack program and it is truly amazing. Initially, I was skeptical-- was this just another fast-talking career coaching sales pitch with a bunch of psychology mumble-jumble? Let me tell you, it is life-changing. Career accelerating. Trust Jen & Rob. They knows what they're talking about, and honestly, truly want to help you breakthrough to levels and opportunities you honestly would have never thought possible. 5+ stars for Jen and Rob and their People Stack team. It is absolutely worth the price of admission. The ROI is there. Invest in yourself, enhance your career and your life. It is possible!!
Andy H.
IT Director & Entrepreneur
Working with Jen and Rob at The People Stack has been a game-changer for me. They provided the clarity I needed to confidently present myself as the Technical Leader I am. I had been struggling with self-confidence regarding my resume and interview presentations. Jen helped me create a resume that truly reflects my leadership and professional value, clearly showcasing the impact I can bring to any organization. During our mock interview sessions, Jen challenged me to craft alternative stories that align with my mission statement, ensuring I can articulate my achievements effectively for maximum impact. Investing in The People Stack has been the best decision I've made for my career. The lessons and clarity I've gained are now my secret weapon in my managerial toolkit. Though I call it a secret, I genuinely hope every Technical Leader discovers and utilize this invaluable resource.
Giuseppe T.
Software Engineering Manager
The eight short weeks I spent working with Jen and the People Stack team were terrifically awesome! I can honestly say Jen cares about the people she works with, and wants everyone of them to come away a better person, who can confidently say they have found a new skill set they are already utilizing in their professional lives. That new skill set may be knowing how to better manage teams, but the real magic is learning to Evangelize Your Excellence! As a result of learning to this, I have gained confidence in putting myself out there, learning the art of negotiating, and how to 150% show the value I bring to the table.
Todd U.
IT Director
It was great working with Jen and Rob because, without them, I don't think I would have respected my professional ability enough to stand up for what would have been right or what I deserve as a professional. They helped me through some major job negotiations and conversations and helped me stay accountable to my originally stated goals. They helped me think about how I talk about what I do and really pushed me to put together clear statements about what my value-add is. I now know how to talk to people about what I do in a way that doesn't feel goofy, cheesy, fake or like bragging.
Jackie L.
Data Analytics Director
That first conversation with Jen, I was feeling really bad about myself. I just described everything to her, and she said, 'Oh yeah. It's this, this, and this, right?' It seemed like magic, but it's really the strength of her experience. Now I am leading a small team and I can confidently frame conversations, even though they might make some people feel uncomfortable, because Jen and Rob gave me tools to have them honestly and authentically. The most confident people that I know are not afraid to say, 'I don't know.' And I would not have any sense of confidence that that kind of a person could be me without having gone through the People Stack program. It's been a transformative experience, and I'm very grateful."
Sarah W.
Product Leader
Jen's help in re-writing my resume was invaluable, being both specific and immediately actionable. With in a week of posting my new resume and changing my LinkedIn profile to match, I received interest from a recruiter that resulted in me being a top-two finalist for a job posting that matched my skills and experience.
Jen's approach to job searches is refreshing, focusing on finding a job that needs someone just like me, instead of trying to change my true self to fit into some employers pre-determined mold. This has resulted in finding a job that essentially, no one else on the market could fill, putting me in a very strong negotiating position.
Gary B.
Sr. Data Leader
Jen and Rob's passion for helping her clients reach their career goals is inspiring! I've gotten a lot out of their program. It's definitely been uncomfortable and challenging to re-think my leadership approach - which is good. I'm slowly integrating more into my daily work. I love having continued access to the materials so that I can continue to grow as a leader and manager.
Eric R.
Tech Team Lead
I think that what is beneficial about having career coaches, like Jen and Rob, is that they are there as a third party for you trying to come at it from a non-biased perspective. It was also really valuable getting feedback like, 'That's bullshit you need to change it' and 'That's just a platitude. That's not actually what you feel.' That's about as unbiased as you can get in terms of seeking out a third party to bounce ideas off of and make sure that you're working toward the right direction.

The Career Transformation Roadmap
1. Gain Crystal Clarity
What do you REALLY want? What's your mission? What's your vision? What are your values? We ask a lot of hard questions and, in the beginning, these are the hardest ones to answer. We show you how to uncover the answers without struggle or over-thinking. You'll have the exact words for describing YOUR dream career and life - down to every last important quirky detail.
2. Build a Powerful Ally Network
Networking is necessary to advance in your career - whether you're looking to land a new job or a promotion/raise. Network on purpose with our opinionated, proven system where win-win CONVERSATIONS are core. Hiding behind the keyboard becomes yesterday's news. It'll feel fun (even if you're an introvert).
3. Advance the Conversations
Many tech leaders forget this step! These conversations are the bridge between "Can you help?" and landing that new job/promotion. It takes patience, curiosity, confidence, and vulnerability. We guide our clients to have these conversations with a World-Class Badass Leader identity.
4. Negotiate Fearlessly
We don't want you leaving tens of thousands of dollars on the table! We also know many of you hate the idea of negotiating. We got you covered! We'll show you a process that works so well, that it'll seem uncanny. Leave fear, ick, shame, and anxiety at the door while you know what to expect, when to expect it, and exactly what to say.
5. Celebrate!
Cement your wins, fuel your progress, and stay focused on success! It's obvious that celebration is important, yet so many of us forget it. Jen forgot to celebrate getting her Ph.D. And after she finally did - with a trip to Italy 2 years later - she vowed she'd never let anyone ignore it. So, you'll be celebrating A LOT with us. 😉
6. What's Next?
No, you're not done! There's ALWAYS another level. As you rise, you'll experience how it doesn't need to get harder as your climb higher. It can feel easy & effortless because you're in flow and you're living on purpose. You'll begin a new journey - this time as a more expansive version of yourself.

People Stack Accelerator course materials directly follow the Career Transformation Roadmap on this page. In short, you'll have access to ALL of the trainings you need to ignite your career momentum, propel yourself towards your career goals, and intentionally build your dream tech career. These are the EXACT same video trainings that each of the clients who are featured on this page had access to.

Ask us ANYTHING about your career or work and we'll send you a custom-tailored response that will likely validate what you already thought AND will give you additional insights to take even more inspired, intelligent actions.
We hold group coaching calls every Thursday at 4pm Eastern. Platinum members get access to all of these calls and Gold members get access once a month on the third Thursdays. Hop on Zoom and join Jen, Rob, and your fellow People Stackers! The calls typically run for about an hour - although we have gone 2 hours because we get so IN FLOW with amazing questions! These sessions are recorded and you will get access to them - and the BEST way to benefit is to be there live. We always start with celebrations (our current clients will model that for you, so don't be shy), and we quickly cover any housekeeping. On 3rd Thursdays, we also do a quick training around our theme of the month to keep you motivated and on track. Then, we dive into Q&A! Anyone who has a question is invited to share. Every call is different and as long as you show up coachable, you will ALWAYS leave with aha's and clear next actions - and hopefully with a huge smile on your face. 😉
Silver and Gold are both month-to-month with no commitment. Platinum is a 1-year program. With any of these plans, don't be surprised when, a year later, you wondered how you lived without The People Stack. 😉
No, sorry. We draw a hard line there. They are all tech leaders with full calendars and we respect their time and energy. And we promise we won’t have prospective clients calling you either if you join us.
There are plenty of testimonials and client results on this page. If you want more, here’s a video where I interviewed our client Chuck about going from burned out with 2 jobs to being a happy COO in less than 8 weeks: https://youtu.be/9EEW1h51_3A
And here’s another video where I interviewed our client Sarah about going from being a struggling product manager to a visionary product leader in 6 months: https://youtu.be/LwkutxTLPtw
I can’t tell you that. I don’t know you (yet). What I can say is that 100% of our clients who showed up as decisive, committed, resourceful, and coachable were able to create their dream careers and dream lives.
Here’s Jen’s LinkedIn profile. And here’s Rob’s. We’re the Co-CEOs at The People Stack (yes, we're married) and if you join us, we’ll be your coaches. (Yes, you get direct access to us.)
Maybe. Please email Jen at jen@jenbunk.com to find out.
No, it’s not. Accelerator is ONLY for current or future tech leaders. If you’re looking for general career and life coaching, please email Jen at jen@jenbunk.com. She occasionally has 1:1 spots open.
