“Working with Jess Britt and Set The Agenda was incredibly valuable as I prepared for a major professional meeting and facilitation role. Jess provided thoughtful guidance, practical resources, and accessible office hours that helped me feel far more confident and prepared heading into the event.
What I appreciated most was Jess’s ability to combine strategic insight with practical, actionable support. The materials and coaching sessions were immediately useful, whether for structuring discussions, preparing facilitation language, managing meeting flow, or thinking through participant engagement. Her approach was organized, encouraging, and grounded in real-world experience.
The support I received not only helped me prepare for a successful meeting but also strengthened my overall confidence in chairing and facilitating complex conversations. I would highly recommend Jess and Set The Agenda to anyone looking to improve their meeting leadership, facilitation skills, or strategic planning approach.” **- Amy Unsworth, Director of Student Assistance

Jess Britt (she/her) helps leaders turn meetings into their most powerful leadership tool. She's on a mission to make work better and believes that when you learn to lead through meetings—not despite them—work gets better for you and everyone around you.
Jess spent 15+ years in the work: chaired a 16-member international nonprofit board (budget ~$3M, endowment ~$2.5M), managed multi-million-dollar international development programs throughout Latin America, and co-built a national team at a scaling workforce development organization while navigating all the politics and dynamics that come with an organization doubling its national footprint. She knows what it's like to lead—and report to—boards and executives, manage people and cross-functional projects, and to lead strategically when you're already stretched thin.
She works with high-performing leaders who care deeply about their work and want to get better at it—especially leaders in periods of change or growth like a recent promotion, reorganization, organizational scaling, or implementing new strategic plans. Together, they work on navigating organizational politics, building confidence, running meetings that actually move work forward, and carving out time for strategic thinking when everything feels urgent.
Jess holds a BA from Bowdoin College and a graduate certificate in Program Monitoring and Evaluation from American University. She's a certified executive and career coach and an alum of the Coaching for Leaders Academy. She serves as an inaugural Coaching for Leaders Fellow, facilitating peer coaching groups for senior leaders in the CFL Pro Community, and has been featured on Coaching for Leaders—a top-ranked management podcast downloaded over 40 million times—talking about how to lead engaging meetings. She has also facilitated everything from 3-person executive strategy sessions to 200-person workshops, so she knows what works (and what doesn't) virtually and in person.
A native English speaker and fluent in Spanish, Jess works with leaders across sectors and geographies. She splits her time between Boston and South Burlington, Vermont. Subscribe to Set the Agenda to stay in touch.
