About Us
Meet Constellation Leadership’s Founder and Our Esteemed Faculty Coaches
PAM HERNANDEZ, MAPP, PCC
President & CEO
A decade ago, Pam Hernandez founded The Right Reflection after a distinguished 30-year corporate career, where she rose to Chief Operating Office of a $10 billion, 125-year-old financial services firm – the first woman in the company’s history to hold that position.
Throughout her career, Pam found immense fulfillment in mentoring, coaching, and developing leaders at all levels. Eventually, she realized that this work was her true calling. Determined to help others unlock their full leadership potential, she left her corporate role, earned her leadership coaching certificate, and launched The Right Reflection.
The Growth of The Right Reflection
Since its inception, The Right Reflection has grown into a premier leadership development organization, serving executives, professionals, and leadership teams across industries. One of its most notable achievements is the creation of the Physicians Leadership Academy, initially exclusive to Nebraska Medical Association members. Due to its success, the program has expanded byond the medical field to service executive teams and leaders across industries.
Today, The Right Reflection has been rebranded as Constellation Leadership and Physicians Leadership Academy has become the Constellation Leadership Program, extending its reach to medical organizations nationwide and expanding to a broader range of industries and professionals seeking transformational leadership development.

JENA SAWYER, M.Ed., SPHR
Jena Sawyer is an executive coach, leadership development consultant, and former senior people executive who helps leaders grow their impact while creating organizations where people and performance can thrive together. She brings warmth, candor, and practical insight to her coaching, helping clients step back from the immediate pressures of leadership, recognize the patterns shaping their choices, and move forward with greater clarity and intention. Jena believes meaningful change begins with deeper self-awareness but becomes sustainable when leaders translate that awareness into new conversations, decisions, and ways of working.
Over the course of her career, Jena has served as a Head of People, HR Director, and organizational development leader in organizations ranging from startups and entrepreneurial businesses to complex, multi-location companies. She has built and transformed people functions, coached executives and leaders at all levels, guided organizational change, strengthened leadership teams, and developed practical approaches to accountability, alignment, and manager effectiveness that help organizations achieve their goals. Her experience spans technology, financial services, higher education, professional services, manufacturing, and other growth-oriented environments.
Jena is especially drawn to working with thoughtful, purpose-driven leaders at every stage of their leadership journey. She helps clients strengthen their effectiveness as they take on new challenges, expand their scope, and navigate transitions between levels of leadership. Her work also explores the impact leaders have on the people and teams around them, helping them foster stronger relationships, clearer communication, greater ownership, and more effective collaboration.
Her coaching balances compassion with constructive challenge, creating space for clients to examine what may be limiting them, reconnect with their strengths, and make choices that are both courageous and grounded. She brings particular depth in helping leaders navigate growth, ambiguity, changing expectations, interpersonal dynamics, and the complexities of leading through change.

Mike Kraft, PCC
As a coach, Mike Kraft brings a steadfast commitment to help his clients lead with courage and bring their best selves to the work that they do. To do this, people first must notice the pivotal “sometimes moments” when how they show up impacts the effectiveness of their leadership and of the results they achieve. This noticing provides clients with a clearer understanding of core beliefs that either enhance or limit the quality of their experiences. With greater awareness comes more and better choices about behaviors that they might want to change. To effect lasting change, Mike’s clients learn to leverage their strengths and minimize (limiting) beliefs that distract from optimal performance.
Since 2018, Mike has worked independently as a leadership coach. Previously, he served as an internal coach and a talent development manager/specialist for health insurance, hospitality, and outsourced HR organizations. Mike’s clients are current and emerging leaders (managers, directors, C-Suite, and individual contributors) who see personal development as the path to greater fulfillment and professional success.
Mike prefers to work with individuals whose aim is to live lives of joy, connection, and contribution. From an industry perspective, Mike focuses on hospitals, healthcare, and physicians. He also has experience in consulting/professional services, construction, hospitality, energy, and oil and gas.
