Working with Jackie was great preparation for teaching graduate courses. At the end of the process, I was comfortable, ready, and excited to jump into teaching. I can honestly say working with her made me a better communicator and teacher. She has a great laid back style but keeps your feet to the fire.

Working with Jackie really opened up the team’s mind to new ways of preparing to speak publicly. The fact that we did the work in a group setting allowed us to really learn from one another and see where our stories connect.

Thank you for how much thought and care you put into our sessions. They were so worthwhile and changed the way I think about speaking. My presentation went great today!! I felt very prepared and confident and the idea was so well received.
