Our Origin Story 

tellent created the the Propeller Experience as a response to the disproportionate impact mid-level career women experienced during the Covid-19 pandemic.

These problems were always here, but evidently more exasperated with the onset of this unprecedented situation. Not only were women left to navigate a new way of working in response to the shift to remote work, many had to act as primary caregiver to families while working full time. Furthermore, entire industries that were primarily female-dominated, were virtually wiped out.

This left women feeling hopeless, burnt out and fed up as they searched for new work or struggled to adjust their lives to the changes and challenges the pandemic hurdled at them. We brought these women together with over 30 instructors, mentors, coaches and guides and gave them a solution. A solution that helped them to navigate their next career move without compromise and with community. 

Since we launched the program in 2021, we have evolved with the markets and the needs of our collective. Our mission here is simple, we connect women's limitless potential to the professional world. The Propeller Experience is not just a program; it's a transformative experience that propels women toward fulfilling careers, breaking down barriers and reshaping the narrative of success. 

We are taking a grassroots approach to systemic change one empowered women at a time... and it's working. To date, we have helped over 400 women to find better jobs, launch new business and stop settling for less than being who they want to be. 

I invite you to join our movement. Apply for the Propeller Experience or join our collective today. 

Meet Our Team

Jenny Hargreaves

Hi, Jenny here! I am the Founder and CEO of tellent. I am an entrepreneur and problem solver committed to unleashing the power of women and increasing access to opportunity for all. 

In 2016 I launched tellent with a mission to change the way that work works for women and to create more inclusive and equal opportunities to earn, without compromise. In 2016, what I wanted from my career and my life no longer felt possible in the traditional work environment, so I set out to build it. Not just for me, but for every woman who felt like she has had to compromise on pay, growth, family or passion when navigating her career choices. All opportunities were not created equal, we set out to change that.  

In my work you will find me challenging the status quo and contributing on topics pertaining to the progression women in the workforce, the future of work, and the rise of the gig economy. You can view more of my media contributions here. In my life, you will find me challenging my husband and living my best life with my two children! You can follow me personally on Instagram here. 

My professional experience spans three continents across brand strategy and international market development. While my primary school teachers didn’t appreciate my questions challenging “why”, I embrace that curiosity and the perspective that comes with challenging the status quo to create impactful and lasting change. 

I am me. Without compromise.
