WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Rick Grant, CPA
Chief Financial Officer
Kentucky Primary Care Association
Jaclyn played an instrumental role in helping our executive team navigate a very difficult transition. From corporate structure to employee culture, she made sure we stayed focused on the important matters. When we needed support, she propped us up. When we needed to be challenged, she was the dissenting voice in the room. Our organization has a much brighter future because she was involved. I recommend her highly!
Susan Douglas
Chief Executive Officer
Girl Scouts of Kentucky’s Wilderness Road Council
Jaclyn's coaching has been truly rewarding. Running a leadership development organization can be tough if we are not also focused on our own personal and professional development. Jaclyn is positive, enthusiastic, and supportive. From group facilitation with the leadership team to one-on-one’s, Jaclyn helps us find, in ourselves, the courage and confidence to listen, lead, problem-solve, and own our path forward together. Most of all we have fun, learn from one another and enjoy our work. Thank you to Jaclyn for supporting a dynamic team and evolving culture where growth-mindsets are nurtured and possibility thinking is encouraged.

Jaclyn consulted our Organization to develop Global Leadership Attributes as a framework for managing performance, coaching, and development. She took the time to understand the history of our Founder Culture, and significant changes that have occurred during our 43 years of history to include several acquisitions. Jaclyn worked closely with our CEO and myself to develop tools that link to our overall strategy and people strategy.
Her business acumen, communication, and coaching experience have been valuable to us in launching this Global initiative to create consistent Leadership language across multiple global sites. We were so impressed that we have engaged her for an Executive Coaching assignment. Jaclyn is extremely positive, insightful, and mindful on all fronts, which makes her an absolute pleasure to engage with on critical topics.

Jaclyn has been a tremendous resource in helping us develop our road map for the future. She was outstanding in getting everyone involved in the process. She worked with the Board for the high-level strategic pillars and staff for the objectives to reach them. Jaclyn had a very positive approach as she built consensus on the direction we wanted to take. We worked with Jaclyn prior to the strategic planning session to ensure we were on the same page. Following the session, she was a phenomenal assistance in helping us move forward.

Jaclyn’s EQ based coaching has been transformative for me. The insights I learned about myself helped me challenge my thinking and determine what I wanted in my next career move. Having Jaclyn in my corner rooting for me and providing strategies of how to self-advocate gave me confidence to ask for that promotion and salary increase, which I recently received. Your coaching was truly worth the investment! Thank you for all you help in the process, Jaclyn!

Jaclyn has facilitated several of our Board retreats. She put an incredible amount time and effort into the planning and preparation so that she had a full understanding of the current environment of our organization as well as the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. She created an environment that felt inclusive and was a safe place to share ideas, no matter how crazy they may sound. Using her facilitation skills, she kept the conversation moving, encouraged everyone to participate and made sure that they felt like they were heard. She walks the talk when it comes to emotional intelligence. She asked great questions that challenged us to think differently. The end result was a road map that both the Board and staff played crucial roles in developing. Even after the Board retreat, Jaclyn continues to be a resource and always available to offer her insight and guidance.
