I don't have all the answers
I don’t claim to be an expert in every aspect of business. I’m a Novice—just like you.
But I do know how to help you spot what’s missing, name what you really want, and re-approach everything in a way that moves you forward.
​
With 30+ years in the creative world, I’ve learned how to bring structure to big ideas—and help entrepreneurs, startups, and small business owners gain the clarity, confidence, and momentum they need to get real results.
​
We’re all Novices in some form...
—The key is knowing where to begin, what to let go of, and who can help you build what comes next.

Founder: Novice Consulting & Coaching
welcome to novice!
I’m CJ Jasenski, the founder of Novice Consulting & Coaching. I help entrepreneurs and small businesses move their ideas forward with clarity, creativity, and structure.
​
With 30+ years in the creative industry, I’ve worked at the intersection of imagination and strategy—supporting clients as a consultant, coach, and creative collaborator throughout my career. I’m especially passionate about project development—whether that means helping someone build a business from scratch or breathe new life into something that’s lost momentum.
​
I’ve always lived in both the right and left brain worlds. I thrive in creative spaces—illustration, abstract art, visual storytelling—but I also love organizing ideas, simplifying systems, and finding practical ways to move toward big goals.
​
I live in Greenville, Ohio with my amazing wife, two teenage sons, and our energetic 8-year-old daughter. If you’ve got a vision that feels stuck or scattered, I’d love to help you take the next step—with confidence and direction.
