We don’t just inspire short-term change. Our approach empowers you for the long haul by focusing on the right information and tools exactly when you need them. We train you to master these resources, ensuring you remain empowered and capable long after our sessions conclude.
2. MTS Training™: Our trademark Mindset, Toolset and Skillset Training methodology is designed for deep, lasting empowerment. It’s not just about understanding concepts; it’s about practical, actionable learning that sticks with you. This approach ensures you achieve your goals and are fully equipped with the skills and tools to conquer future challenges.

The ‘Ninja’ Name
Behind the ‘Pocket Ninja’ Name
The name “Pocket Ninja” was a nickname that evolved into the identity of my business. It all started when people began calling me a ‘ninja’ because my advice was sharp, clear, and effective. I cut through the fluff and always had the perfect tool or resource ready for any situation. Soon, they started calling me ‘little ninja’—not because of my mindset or abilities, but because of my small stature. One day, someone joked, “You’re so little, you could fit in my pocket! You’re a Pocket Ninja!” And just like that, the name stuck.
But more importantly, I founded Pocket Ninja Strategies because I believe in empowering others who have that same ‘ninja’ spirit—the resourcefulness, agility, and determination to reach their highest potential. So, the real question is: “Are you a ninja?”
Are You A ‘Ninja’?
The Ninja “Big 4” — Take The Test
At Pocket Ninja Strategies, we define ‘ninjas’ by key traits that set them apart. These individuals exhibit what we call the “Big 4 Driving Forces.” As you take the test, think about whether any of these resonate with your natural strengths, instincts, and drive. If they do, it’s likely that you’re a ‘ninja’—someone with the potential for extraordinary impact.
So, are you ready to find out if you’re a ‘ninja’? Take the test below to see where you fit.
#1: Daring Dreamer
Do you feel like there’s something bigger out there for you? Do you want to define success and happiness on your own terms? Are you ready to get the most out of your business, career, and life?
#2: Purposeful Learner
Are you on a quest to uncover the secrets to well-being, happiness, and success? Do you want to accelerate your learning and make huge leaps forward?
#3: Courageous Transformer
Do you want to integrate wisdom into your daily life and actions? Are you ready to make big shifts and transformations? Do you aim to be better than you were yesterday? Do you love changing and growing?
#4: Bold Action-taker
Are you determined to chase after big goals? Do you take powerful actions to make things happen? Do you celebrate and enjoy your wins along the way?
If any of these factors resonate with you—even if it feels a bit intimidating but exciting—you are, without a doubt, a ‘ninja’!
Psst, we have an important insight for ‘ninjas’ only — being a ‘ninja’ can be both a blessing and a curse. As ‘ninjas’ you’re blessed with big dreams and a fierce drive, yet it can feel overwhelming or frustrating when you:
- don’t know how to harness your power
- don’t know what the next steps are
- don’t know how to carve your own path, or
- don’t want to wait — you want to achieve your goals faster and easier!
As a fellow ‘ninja’, we understand you — the challenges and the goals, and have created Pocket Ninja Strategies specifically for ‘ninjas’ like you.

A Personal Note From Your Pocket Ninja
I’m Jehanne, the Founder and Principal Ninja at Pocket Ninja Strategies. I created PNS to guide people, teams, and organizations like me—those with big dreams, ambitious goals, and the desire to build a healthy, happy life and achieve meaningful success.
Pocket Ninja Strategies brings together everything I’ve learned over the years—formally, informally, and through life itself. With an MBA and over 10 years of coaching experience, I’ve taught as a college instructor and worked across various industries and roles, where I gained firsthand insight into common challenges—both personal and professional—and discovered effective solutions. Some of my most valuable lessons have come from reading over 150 business and self-development books. These books, along with my lived experiences, form the foundation of the insights, coaching, and training I offer to save you the time, money, and struggle I experienced.
But my path wasn’t always this clear or confident. Reflecting on my journey, I realize that while I appeared successful—intelligent, driven, and well-liked—I often felt stuck in cycles of inner conflict, paralyzed by the fear of judgment, and hesitant to ask for help or invest in my own growth. Over time, I navigated my way out of that place by integrating the lessons from my experiences and education. This process allowed me to develop a comprehensive set of tools and frameworks that gave me the clarity, courage, confidence, and contentment I had been seeking.
These tools—and the wisdom to apply them effectively—are at the heart of my coaching approach. I know firsthand the tension between ambitious dreams and the struggles of trying to bridge the gap to reach them. Now, I’m here to help you unlock the same clarity and power in your business, career, or personal life.
My coaching isn’t about quick fixes, bursts of inspiration, or rigid, one-size-fits-all methods. It’s about meaningful change and sustainable growth. I offer a blend of professional tools, business knowledge, and personal insights, all tailored to your unique needs. Each session, workshop, and coaching package is designed to empower you fully. My goal is to make a lasting impact—helping individuals and organizations break through limitations and move beyond temporary inspiration to genuine, lasting empowerment.
Your Pocket Ninja,
Jehanne Marie Burns
Clarity > Confidence
PNS’ effective approach focuses on clarity, over confidence — why?
Confidence, although very desirable, is a feeling, and feelings are fleeting — one minute you’ll feel confident, but the next minute you won’t. Confidence is illusive, it’s difficult to figure out exactly what makes you confident in one moment, why it disappears, and how to get it back.
Clarity, is a thought process and thought processes are reliable. So, if you master the clarity thought process, even in times of confusion, you will always be able to access the power of clarity.
And, guess what? Clarity leads to courage, confidence and contentment, so you can have confidence too, but the most reliable way to access it is through clarity.
Powered By Values
Pocket Ninja Strategies is fueled by the core values of its founder. These values are the driving force behind her deep commitment, passion, understanding, and energy in serving clients.
These values are not only what guide her work, but they are also what she hopes to inspire in you and everyone she serves. They form the foundation of every PNS service:
