Jenny’s new book aims to help others navigate life

One of the co-founders of Q Branch Consulting has launched a new book in which she shines a light on her own life – in order to help others.

Life coach Jenny Jarvis has written ‘Life’s Just One Big Drama’ to help others navigate relationships and learn from the situations she has found herself in.

She has penned the book to illustrate what tools she has learned through her training that might have helped navigate tricky situations in the past.

Taking the reader through her own experiences of playground bullying, sex, traumatic house moves, marriage, painful childbirth, postnatal depression, divorce, affairs and auto-immune disease, before finally finding her dream job and partner – Jenny has highlighted what lessons life has taught her, that everybody’s life contains plenty of drama, and no situation is too difficult not to learn from.

She said: “We all have our own dramas in life. Life can be dramatic – the question is: what are you going to do about it?

“To me, the book is about a journey through life and looking at what I was going through and thinking, how could I improve it?

“Stuff happens, but how do you respond to it? A lot of the book is about me carrying on doing things that didn’t feel right but being too scared to change them.”

Her book identifies key techniques that could have helped a better outcome in various situations in her life, such as: dealing with bullies by using a perceptual positions technique: asking questions to see things from another person’s point of view; how to assess your own qualities as a friend and how identifying your own attachment styles can help you have more successful relationships.

The book includes candid accounts of key life moments such as Jenny’s wedding and honeymoon, providing advice as to how couples can get more enjoyment from these experiences with tips like how to budget honestly and decide on priorities.

She said: “I hope that my book will help people start to investigate more how they can change their life, and not necessarily just accept things. I hope people will understand they can change as a person.

“I went from being a very anxious and negative person to being a really, really positive person.

“I want people to understand they can take power into their own life.”

Having met and dated ‘the one’ – Matt Clutterham – Jenny went on to co-found the successful branding and human transformation business Q Branch Consulting, which is now working with the NHS, among other organisations, helping leaders change their mindset and grow successful people and enterprises.

‘Life’s Just One Big Drama’ is available to buy on Amazon.
