Praise, Accolades and Nice Words
I've attended a few of the SupportHER Networking Events hosted by Jacquie with Leadership & Life and appreciate them so much!! I'm newly self-employed and such effective, meaningful and affordable networking opportunities are invaluable to me. These events are what every networking event strives to be: there's a max of ~20 attendants, a scheduled speaker, and structured networking time. Conversation flows naturally and I've had so many 'ah-ha!' moments from these sessions. If you have the opportunity to attend a SupportHER networking event or work with Jacquie and Leadership & Life, I would highly recommend it!!

It has been some time since I have done a DISC analysis! It is great to understand myself, what motivates me and strengths, but also what triggers or stresses me out. Knowing this helps me understand how I can communicate with others on my team and recognize how to categorize others.

I found Jacquie wonderful to work with. The end result is we have a plan that will guide the board over the next number of years. I really enjoyed your facilitation skills in guiding the board at the board evaluation meeting. Jacquie was open to all my suggestion and listen to what we wanted to achieve. The final product was well worth the time and investment.

I want to thank you for helping me develop the skills that helped me land a leadership position with CompuVision . After completing CompuLeads I feel I am better prepared to transition into an official leadership role and I am very grateful for your teachings, guidance and reading suggestions. The time you spent researching and developing this course captured the fundamental skills required to lead a team and it solidified my decision to pursuit a people leader role. Thank you!

She is absolutely fantastic at everything she does, is exceptional in the area of DISC profiling, and I must give her credit for literally saving our Board from imploding when it first needed to conduct its Board meetings online because of the pandemic. New and old Directors were struggling to ‘connect’ and build relationship with each other in the virtual environment, and as soon as everyone had a better understanding of each other’s needs in terms of communications, the bonds and trust started to form.

This will help our board team at PEP to grow and hopefully work together in a stronger relationship with each other as we understand our different styles.

I appreciate your accompanying workbooks. I can underline or add a few words, thoughts and follow along without needing to endlessly write not to miss anything

Knowing Jacquie over the long arc of a decade has given me significant time to observe the way she navigates relationships and circumstances in daily life. Identifying, defining, and operationalizing personal values results in a daily life of efficiency and integrity. I have seen this demonstrated by Jacquie as she has worked through the process in her own life and helped others establish a meaningful values process. Knowing and living her values has resulted in focused and meaningful engagement with work, family, and the many endeavors that Jacquie is involved in. Her values help her to make difficult decisions and give time to the things in her life that produce the greatest returns. I believe the quality of Jacquie’s life is directly impacted by her values process and am grateful for the way she has clearly communicated and shared her process with me.
