About Us

Our Company

Thrive with Integrity™ was founded by Jessica VanLeeuwen as a 100% Women-Owned small business. Because of Jessica’s focus on leading with integrity, she made the decision to operate using the name Thrive with Integrity (TWI). The mission of TWI is to help clients succeed by providing comprehensive training, leadership development, and advisory services that focus on building a foundation of integrity and are customized to fit the mission, values, and vision of the organizations served. With almost three decades of experience leading teams, facilitating training, and advising organizational leadership, Jessica recognizes the value of hands-on, experiential training to prepare today’s leaders for the challenges of tomorrow. Certain skills are best learned through example, experience and interaction – that is why TWI provides live, interactive training and coaching that is tailored to fit the nuances of your organization.
