After years of being told to “wait her turn,” “tone it down,” or "just be grateful to be at the table," Dr. J watched too many brilliant women shrink under pressure or get pushed to the sidelines. She chose a different path. Today, she champions corporate women with inclusive leadership strategies, practical development tools, and team-building techniques that allow them to lead without micromanagement—and without apology.
She speaks, trains, and partners with forward-thinking organizations to fix what’s broken and build what’s next. Dr. J has co-authored Financial Trendsetters 2 and is launching a leadership-focused podcast in late 2025, further amplifying her mission to help leaders grow themselves while growing their teams. Her book The Leader Within Her releases in September 2025.
Outside of work, life is a joyful whirlwind. In 2024, Jessica and her partner Ryan welcomed their daughter, Ramya Jean, into the world. Their home is also filled with love, laughter, and a few muddy paw prints from their three dogs—Louis the Bernedoodle, Wylie the Labradoodle, and Bentley the ever-energetic Old English Sheepdog—not to mention a bustling backyard flock of chickens. (And if she has her way, goats may be joining the party soon.)
Dr. J doesn’t just talk about leadership—she lives it. Boldly. Honestly. And always with heart.
Meet Dr. J
Dr. Jessica Schloemp, (AKA The Real Dr. J), is a dynamic leader, strategist, and passionate advocate for personal and professional growth. A former Division I basketball standout at Youngstown State University, Jessica has always fused discipline, drive, and a deep love for leadership—both on and off the court. With an MBA from Franklin University and a Doctorate in Strategic Leadership from Regent University, she brings both academic rigor and real-world credibility to every room she enters.
Throughout Dr. J’s career she has witnessed the slow erosion of potential caused by toxic work environments, ineffective leadership, and outdated cultural norms. Now, as Director of Operations and Founder of Revive & Rise Consulting, she’s on a mission to do more than just improve workplace culture—she’s here to transform it.
Her signature TRUE TEAM Method (Transparency, Relatability, Understanding, Empowerment) is a human-centered framework that has helped double team output, reduce turnover, and restore clarity to fragmented teams. Built around what people truly need—psychological safety, consistent leadership, and a sense of purpose—this method empowers organizations to shift from reactive chaos to proactive, people-first performance.
But her fire doesn’t stop at operational excellence.
