The KOAN Method

Jennifer Lyn Simpson, PhD (she/her) is Integrated Work's CEO.

She developed the KOAN method based on over 30 years of experience working in and with organizations across the academic, private, public, corporate, and not-for-profit sectors to create more meaningful and effective ways of living and working together across differences.

She is an author, artist, entrepreneur, and idealist whose vision includes the integration of creativity and personal inquiry as catalysts for individual and collective transformation.

She holds a Bachelor's degree from Syracuse University, a Masters and Doctorate from the University of Colorado at Boulder and continues her own learning and development by regularly participating in immersive experiential leadership, contemplative, nature-based, and JEDI programs.

She still teaches University classes, works with executives committed to evolving their organizations to meet a changing world, and develops and delivers transformational experiences that help people amplify their impact by being more human, together.

When she isn't working with mission-driven leaders to amplify their impact, leading her team, or enjoying time with her growing children, she explores life's persistent questions through art, poetry, and creative writing, and spending as much time in nature as she can conjure.
