Rob Johnson Chief Operating Officer Atlanta Community Food Bank
"Time and again when I use techniques I've learned from Jackie, I've seen the 'aha' lightbulb go on for my internal clients."
Morinee Terry Human Resources Director Mohawk Industries, Inc.
"Jackie is particularly skilled in large-system change intervention. She gives her clients room to wrestle with the issues, and she supports them in drawing their own conclusions. That requires a fine balance between confrontation and empathy."
Neil Sklarew Senior Consultant Georgia Center for Nonprofits
"There's something different about the way you're able to relate. It feels more genuine than simply that you're doing a job; while always being exceedingly professional."
Donna Willis Former Board Chair Actor's Express
"Your excellent meeting design and facilitation made a successful event! Your dedication and support to the team were essential for this success. You kept us on track without constraining the group's creativity. I was positively surprised that such a large group could raise all the critical issues and achieve consensus around a very good list of action items. A lot of this was due to your engagement and experience!"
Patrick Prevost Strategy & Development BP Chemicals
"Jackie's strengths include deep-seated understanding of people's needs and reactions in work relationships; an ability to see patterns in people's comments and to offer suggestions that move the thought process forward, and clear articulation that leaves me thinking, 'that's what I meant.'"
Ann Hendricks, PhD Director VA Boston Health Care Financing & Economics
"Her caring, competent and comprehensive stance has moved me to a higher level of excellence than I knew possible."
Ginny Storjohann Independent Consultant and Coach Denver, CO

"Through my work with Jackie I have a clearer sense of how to do my consulting work; I work in a more impactful way and have more options to choose from."
Sharon Behar Organization Development Consultant Burlington, VT
"It was amazing to work with a consultant and come away with something so helpful. Jackie's work resulted in an organizational template that we never had: a valuable working document, a living, breathing document."
"The strategic planning process was the most comprehensive and thorough the Food Bank had conducted in its 23 year history."
"At times, clients resist being led, pushed or even facilitated. Jackie's strength as a consultant is that she has the ability to nudge, influence and lead from within the process. When clients say 'no' to a direction, she respects their wishes, yet she allows them to change their minds later, with honor."
Betsy Pickren, MS.Ed., CPCC President Facilitated Learning, Inc.
"Jackie helped me 'see' the right questions to ask."
Ralph Clements VP of Manufacturing and Technology Imperial Sugar Formerly BP Fabrics and Fibers

My engineering group spanned six different locations and included people with a wide variety of technical backgrounds and educational levels.

Jackie's consulting helped me maintain momentum throughout each year as we adjusted and executed our strategic plan."
