What People Are Saying
“I worked with Jackie as my firm was growing and onboarding with our first PEO. Without an internal HR resource, we relied on Jackie, who acted as a trusted partner, shepherding my organization through the process of selecting and adopting best-practices appropriate for our fledgling firm. She remained engaged as a reliable resource throughout the relationship, always highly responsive to questions, as well as proactively providing relevant and timely information on the ever-changing HR landscape. Jackie is an imminently knowledgeable, practical and strategic HR professional who is an asset to any organization she serves.

The first words that come to mind when I think of my experience working with Jackie are: trusted advisor, approachable, empathetic, engaging and the consummate professional. Jackie has deep knowledge of the HR regulatory landscape. She is solution-oriented, quick to identify challenges and to establish creative ways to address them. She produces high-touch deliverables for her clients, such as the best practices training she delivered to our leaders which enabled them to handle sensitive HR topics and reduce the company's exposure to risk. She helped our company strategize and build upon our DEIB initiatives, making us a recipient of one of the Best Places to Work awards.

I had the pleasure of working with Jackie when she facilitated a Clifton Strengths team session for our Global Business Development leaders. Jackie skillfully led our group through exercises and discussion to help us identify and understand our strengths and talents, how these shape our personalities and affect interactions with others. She helped the team consider how to leverage strengths in our professional roles and personal lives. The Clifton Strengths assessment and Jackie's analysis were incredibly insightful and led us to better understand our internal drivers and motivations and maybe more importantly, those of our colleagues. In a global team where coordination and partnership are the key to success, being able to find common ground, appreciate our strengths and recognize how our strengths complement each other, is a truly invaluable experience.

After a rejuvenating break, I found myself at a career crossroads contemplating my reentry into the workforce. Leveraging the CliftonStrengths Assessment, Jackie helped me gain a holistic understanding of my strengths, motivations and a view into what I do best but more importantly, why I do those things best. Jackie helped me unpack and shed light on my experiences and identified areas for me to further develop, as well as potential pitfalls to watch out for. Jackie distilled and reframed the assessment findings down into a digestible narrative. My experience with Jackie and CliftonStrengths played a key role in identifying my next chapter.

Discussing my CliftonStrengths results with Jackie gave me a clearer perspective of who I am as an individual and how I operate in a group. As a high school senior, I even decided to write my main college essay about two of my dominant strengths. Her close analysis of my experiences and my strengths served as a model for my writing throughout the process. She showed me how I could break down a single moment to reveal my motivations and to show an admissions officer a deepened image of who I am. Jackie not only offered a new perspective on my strongest qualities, but she also taught me a method of self-reflection that I found integral to writing a successful personal essay. I know I will continue to use her method in the future to understand and maximize the influence of my strengths on my day to day life.
