“Jackie conducted a workshop for the organization I work for, the Center for Women & Enterprise in Boston. We were extremely happy with her training style and the feedback we received from our clients! CWE is a non-profit founded in 1995, committed to empowering our clients to become financially self-sufficient and prosper through business and entrepreneurship. All of who attended her session agreed they felt more confident in their ability to make decisions regarding developing a small business and make positive changes in their personal lives. Jackie used thought provoking exercises in her workshop to engage and interact with the clients, motivating them to think deeply about their personal goals and how to achieve them. I would highly recommend Jackie as an instructor, coach, and mentor.”

“I had the most positive experience working with Jackie. She was professional, compassionate, thoughtful and direct.
I hired her during a transitional time in my life. I contemplated moving out of state but felt overwhelmed with all of the decisions I would need to make in order for it to happen. I was grateful for Jackie's help. She gently guided me and helped me define goals. Even more valuable, she was a great sounding board and held me accountable for the goals I set. I got a lot of value out of our sessions together and I especially appreciated Jackie's flexibility in working around my schedule. I encourage anyone who is ready to take a big step towards personal and professional development, to give Jackie a call. If you're eager to do the work, you will not be disappointed with the results.”

She was great at keeping me on track and I appreciate her guidance, compassionate nature and straight forward personality. Whether we were meeting or during the week by email she was extremely responsive to any thoughts or decisions I wanted to discuss with her. I recommend her to anyone who needs a direction in their life or career.”

“I work with Jackie in a mentorship program for non-profit leadership development. In the six months that we have worked together, I feel that Jackie has been able to help me to define my goals and identify a clearer career path. She is a great resource for career development and growth. Jackie really listens to what I am saying and challenges me to go outside of my comfort zone. She has pushed me to reevaluate my course when I felt I couldn’t or shouldn’t do something. Jackie is passionate about the work that she does; she is accessible outside of our meetings for advice and cheerleading. I am thankful for the opportunity to work with her; I know it has impacted my growth and success in the workplace.”
