Jackie worked in the corporate world for over 17 years, primarily in the banking technology industry as a consultant, project manager and trainer. Always feeling like a ‘square peg being made to fit into a round hole’, Jackie felt most of the jobs she held were not ideal for her creative personality but she fell into the trap of being good at what she did and staying put because it paid well. But as many of you are discovering, you can’t continue to fake your interest in your job forever and eventually your authentic self says “I’ve had enough of this charade. I want to be fully present 24/7 in my own life. Some changes need to be made.”

Jackie had some awakening moments starting in 2004 that lead her to make some big changes in her own life and to find her ideal career: A life coach specializing in career transition. She attended the Coaching for Transformation program in 2005-06, a year-long coach training program offered through The New York Open Center, the largest holistic learning center in the United States. This coaching program combines the practical aspects of coaching with a holistic, spiritual approach.

Jackie is passionate about helping people leave life and career situations that no longer serve them in a positive way. As quoted in More magazines’ July/August 2007 edition, “I have a lot of personal experience to offer people in soul-deadening jobs.”  She loves to work with clients who are really ready to do some soul-searching to figure out who they truly are and what they want for their lives. Jackie helps clients identify and eliminate the mental and emotional blocks they have about their own potential. Jackie’s holistic approach helps clients open their mind, heart and imagination up to the possibilities for their lives so they can discover and create a lifestyle and career that feels exciting and meaningful to them and supports them financially. Jackie loves to see her clients embrace who they truly are and share their natural abilities and gifts with the world.

Jackie is based in the Charlotte, NC area but serves clients across the U.S. and internationally. She typically works with clients virtually via the phone. This allows clients to receive coaching from wherever it is most convenient to them; at the office, home or while traveling. It also provides a high level of confidentiality, a must for some clients.
