Jennifer Briskin never imagined that a Bangkok emergency room would be the catalyst for her life’s calling. Yet there she was, gravely ill and alone, making a vow that would reshape her future. “I promised myself I’d find balance and help others do the same,” she recalls, her voice tinged with the determination that’s become her hallmark.
For Briskin, this moment wasn’t just a wake-up call—it was the first step on a winding path leading her from corporate success to becoming a beacon of healing in the high-pressure world of entertainment and creativity.
With over 25 years of experience spanning leadership development, communication, and coaching, Briskin has become a unique bridge between the corporate landscape and the often tumultuous realm of creative expression. Her journey, marked by personal struggles with anxiety and a later battle with Lyme disease, has shaped her into a coach who doesn’t just understand success—she intimately knows the cost of achieving it at the expense of well-being.
“The entertainment industry is a pressure cooker,” Briskin explains with the wisdom of someone who’s seen behind the curtain. As a former Chief People Officer for an entertainment firm, she’s witnessed firsthand the toll that the relentless pursuit of creativity can take. “We glorify the end result—the chart-topping song, the breakthrough performance—but we rarely talk about the anxiety, the self-doubt, the burnout that often comes with it.”
It’s this gap that Briskin’s Listening Tree Healing Studio aims to fill. In an industry where talent is abundant but support for personal growth is often scarce, she offers a blend of practical wisdom and intuitive healing that’s as unique as it is necessary.
“I remember being that young professional, climbing the corporate ladder, constantly overwhelmed,” Briskin shares. “Now, I get to be the guide I wish I’d had back then, especially for creatives who often feel misunderstood in traditional corporate settings.” Her unique blend of corporate experience and holistic healing practices makes her particularly well-suited to address the complex challenges faced by those in the entertainment industry.
Briskin’s approach is far from one-size-fits-all. Her offerings range from quick “Seedling Sessions” for those needing a burst of clarity to immersive “Rooted Renewal Sessions” for deeper transformation. She also offers a “Soulful Journeys Package” for ongoing support and a “Creative Flow Mastery Course” designed to help creatives navigate blocks and foster a growth mindset.
Briskin’s ability to integrate practical business acumen seamlessly with intuitive healing techniques sets her apart. As a certified wellness coach, and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) tapping practitioner, she brings a holistic approach to her work. Her sessions often incorporate sound healing using instruments like sound bowls, providing a deeply transformative experience for her clients.
Briskin’s impact extends beyond individual coaching. She collaborates with corporate audiences in the entertainment world, offering specialized leadership training and team development programs. Her focus is on bridging the gap between creatives (talent) and management leadership, fostering a culture of collaboration, empathy, and innovation.
Briskin’s achievements speak to the efficacy of her methods. Over her 25+ year career, she has coached over 500 individuals and delivered workshops, speaking engagements, and leadership sessions for hundreds of people in both corporate and creative environments. Her client list includes songwriters, musicians, actors, and producers who have shared their success stories on her website.
Looking to the future, Briskin aims to establish Listening Tree Healing Studio as a go-to resource for creatives and professionals seeking holistic growth, intuitive guidance, and empowerment. She envisions expanding her offerings to include retreats, collaborative partnerships, and more corporate training programs, further bridging the gap between talent and leadership in the entertainment world.
