What People Say about Coach Jackie:

“Coach Jackie was an amazing part of our Career Portal Lounge at the ASHA Convention. She presented mini-workshops that left our members with practical tips that they could use immediately. Even with the short timeframe of each workshop (20 minutes), she was able to excite, inform, and engage with each of the participants and leave them with a "nugget" of information that empowered and energized them. Members came back to attend more than one session and members requested her by name to get more one-on-one time with her during our resume review program. Coach Jackie has an approachable and calming presence making people gravitate to her. Her kind and warm nature make her a pleasure to work with and we hope to work with her again.” Alexis Redmond, Systems-Focused Association Member Leader, ASAE Diversity Executive Leadership Program (DELP) Scholar

“Coach Jackie was fantastic at a workshop event we held for a women-focused group at my work. Before the event, she really helped me organize my thoughts and guided me through the planning process. At the event, she was incredibly engaging and came prepared with a variety of materials and topics to help our team work on goal-setting in both our personal and professional lives, as well as some networking and social media skills. We'll definitely be hiring her again!” Anna Carver, PayPal

“I have had the pleasure of listening to Jackie present in multiple forums. In all of these instances, she consistently delivers thoughtful, well-researched topics in an informative and interactive manner. Jackie's presence in presentations is open, and engaging - I would encourage anyone to have her in as a presenter.” Kelly Madden, Director of Operations and Human Resource Executive
