Helping Leaders Build High-Trust, High-Performance Workplaces

Coaching and consulting for nonprofit leaders and teams that want clarity, community, and results.

Meet Jackie

I’m an executive coach, leadership development consultant, content developer, and facilitator with more than 25 years of experience working with nonprofit and and other mission-driven organizations.

Throughout my professional career, my work has focused on coaching, consulting, and leadership development—including the design and delivery of workshops, training programs, and conferences at the local, statewide, and regional levels. Over the past six and a half years, this work has also included developing and teaching graduate-level courses and coaching leaders in higher education.

Earlier in my career, I served as a nonprofit sector executive director. That experience continues to shape how I work, grounding my coaching and consulting in a practical understanding of organizational realities, leadership accountability, and performance pressures leaders face on a daily basis. I also bring a practitioner’s lens to my work that’s further informed by each client engagement I have. This applied experience helps me to address the common—and sometimes uncommon—challenges that can get in the way of a leader’s ability to get things done. I’d love the opportunity to support you, or your organization, in the critical opportunities and challenges that impact you. To learn more about my background, see my LinkedIn page.

If you’re a nonprofit leader, manager, or team lead who wants to:

  • Lead with confidence and empathy, and get breakthrough results

  • Navigate change, conflict, and workplace performance challenges successfully

  • Create healthier organizations that people want to work for, and and where they can thrive

    You’re in the right place.

Coaching: A Partnership for Purpose-Led Growth

I help leaders in mission-driven sectors bridge the gaps between their knowledge, experience, and potential to get better results and strengthen their resilience while navigating through uncertainty, challenge...or opportunity. Together, we’ll work on building the internal community and leadership habits required for you to sustain long-term impact.

Explore Your Leadership Capacity!

  • My approach is rooted in the belief that healthy organizations start with character-informed and values-aligned decision-making. I integrate leadership coaching and organizational development with an Internal Impact Framework—my 10-factor model for building resilient internal communities. Rather than one-size-fits-all solutions, I want to provide practical tools you can use immediately to clarify what matters most in your specific context, so that you can take consistent action over time to achieve your personal and professional goals.

  • I partner with emerging and experienced leaders in non-profits, associations, and higher education. I have a particular affinity for supporting newly promoted leaders as they 'get their sea legs' and navigate the shift in scope that comes with their higher-level role. My work focuses on helping you align your personal leadership style with your organization’s mission, while cultivating productive and resilient relationships with people you lead—so that together—you can move the needle on your mission through shared purpose and commitment.

  • Our work together will follow my proprietary LARGE Framework, a 5-step process designed to move you from initial awareness to sustained leadership-in-action:

    • Learn: Cultivate curiosity and discover new insights.

    • Apply: Build leadership and management skills through practice and experimentation.

    • Reflect: Enhance self-awareness and make sense of new perspectives.

    • Grow: Cultivate a growth mindset and build long-term capacity.

    • Enable/Embody: Model personal agency and leadership-in-action, strengthened through daily practice, to expand your, and you team’s impact.

    Whether through 1:1 executive coaching or management team training, this framework ensures your growth is deeply embodied and mission-aligned.
