For Jackie, a coach is a person who personally invests in an individual (or team), stimulating, motivating, and facilitating the growth, development, and performance improvements that will help them achieve their goals. The best coaches help talented people open the door to their potential through intensive guided lessons. Success is achieved through courageous and honest conversations, and the willingness to learn from key insights and take the risks needed to achieve sustained personal and organizational growth.
Jackie specializes in working with professionals who are in senior leadership roles experiencing major organizational challenges, leaders in transition or considering transitioning out of or into a new role, social entrepreneurs who are in early stages of executive leadership, and managers who are seeking opportunities for greater responsibility. Jackie also supports leadership teams and Boards of Directors experiencing major organizational challenges.
