The rigorous program Jackie went through to earn her training accreditation from Dale Carnegie© stems from the philosophy that good leadership is founded upon the strength of one’s communication and human relations skills. The work yields increased self-confidence through the art of improved communication, presentation, stress management, people and leadership skills. Assertiveness, ability to resolve conflict and the cultivation of diplomacy and tact are just some of the professional objectives that come out of this training methodology.
In 2011, Jackie earned her certification as a Results Certified Coach through The NeuroLeadership Group’s Intensive Coach Training program. The NeuroLeadership Group (TM) is an International Coaching Federation accredited school for coach training. It is a global human performance company which uses neuroscience-based coaching to help leaders improve their thinking and overall effectiveness.
In 2005, Jackie left media sales to pursue her own business. Incorporating her coaching and training expertise and her years in business, her mission is to help people get on the path that will lead them to their highest potential, and work with them to become strong, clear communicators who make positive impact upon others.
