About
Jennifer Faught is a coach and entrepreneur who brings a quiet intensity to helping people align intentional action with beliefs.

She thrives in building processes, workflows, and systems while moving quickly and easily from strategic planning to execution.

Personal Highlights
Outside of work, Jennifer enjoys cooking, travel, and yoga. Jennifer lives in Nashville with her husband, Andy, and two pups: Cooper, a 145-pound Great Dane, and Coco, a three-pound Yorkie. She founded a junior board supporting the Martha O'Bryan Center, one of Nashville's oldest non-profits, and a decade later it's still going strong. Jennifer mentors 3 young women at Western Kentucky University and sits on the advisory board for her sorority. She also can be found cheering on her alma mater, the University of Alabama Crimson Tide, and the Nashville Predators.
“PETRA has proved to be everything we hoped for and more. The cool, calm and thought-provoking insight of Jennifer motivates and inspires us every day. She patiently listens to our thoughts and ideas allowing us to embrace our creativity but always graciously forces us back to the tough questions and encourages us to find answers that really tie a bow around the outcome we are wanting. Jennifer’s quiet energy and guidance gives a real sense that our goals are achievable, and she makes us WANT to achieve them.
As a team we have found the PETRA system to be instrumental in keeping us aligned in pursuit of our goals, while holding our team together as a closely-knit unit. We cannot sing the praises of our team at PETRA enough and believe it’s the perfect coaching model for Outside GO. “
“GLC Minerals has seen a big improvement in rigor around daily activities and quarterly priorities that are aligned with the company’s strategic direction. In the past the management met together and set the priorities – that was okay – but through Petra we get the second level managers rowing in the same direction as well.
The daily huddle was a major improvement for us. It serves as a touchstone for the day, a bit of camaraderie and fun and a place to reinforce our core values. All in all, Petra has helped us make “one giant step forward”. More to do! Thanks especially to Jennifer and Taylor for making the effort to get to know us and work alongside GLC to improve.”
