Helping you find joy and impact through your work
Shifting success has been the key to my happiness. I know it can work for you too.
Feeling like a failure was not how I imagined celebrating my 51st birthday. My freelance business was floundering. I didn’t feel like I belonged in the creative industry. Or marketing. Or advertising. And for someone with 25+ years in those fields it was a very strange feeling indeed.
I wanted to feel like my career meant something.
I felt called to make a positive difference on a personal level, on a community level.
Were my talents, skills and expertise of any value to anyone?
Where was that joy I used to feel in my work?
What even was “my work” supposed to be?
I wanted to know my purpose.
I wanted meaningful momentum.
My Meaningful Momentum
My journey started with so much frustration and even a big dose of existential angst. I’m very grateful for wonderful guides along the way who supported my search and showed me how to use helpful tools.
Books, assessments, journaling, coaching, counseling, and lots of long walks were all important aspects to my growth, and still are!
My meaningful momentum really kicked in when I got clear on my strengths and talents, my values and my purpose in this stage of my life. These core aspects are also key to how my clients find their own meaningful momentum.
Natural Talents
Once I had a better understanding of myself and my purpose, I explored several options for how to best serve others while expressing my true nature.
I just kept coming back to the joy I felt when working closely with my marketing clients as they grew in confidence, the way friends and family sought me out when they wanted to feel seen and heard. Everything kept pointing to coaching!
Why is coaching such a good fit for me? The same aspects you’ll enjoy as a client:
– I am and have always been very curious. I want to know all about you and what gets you going.
– Listening, truly hearing what someone is saying, comes naturally to me. You will be heard.
– I identify important connections and context which often shift perspectives and offer new options.
– I love learning & since coaching is all about continuous self-improvement, any tools, exercises, books, assessments which might be suggested for you, I’ve already completed.
What’s It Like To Work With Me?
You’ll have my dedicated time and attention in our one-to-one sessions with no agenda other than the one we create together.
Our time together is space for you to explore what’s working and what’s not; dive deep in to your values, purpose, and vision; and discover where you’d like to go from here.
I’ll be your guide – listening & making connections, offering a new and unbiased perspective on your mindset and situation.
What Clients Are Saying
“I really appreciate the jump-start Jackie helped me achieve. She provided such patience and grace in listening to me and encouraged me to grapple with forward momentum. She helped me get unstuck – a massive gift for which I will be ever in her debt.” – Anthony B.
“I had the opportunity to work with Jackie while going through some big life challenges and changes. After years of being self-employed I was considering a career change. Jackie helped me see my true strengths and abilities while helping build back my confidence and land a wonderful job!” – Cindi S.
Your Meaningful Momentum
The Meaningful Momentum Matrix provides a foundation for you to build your definition of success at your own pace, but there is no pre-determined plan.
Our time together is driven by your wants and needs.
I’ll be coaching you to dig deep for your own answers to your unique situation, for when the path forward is one you select, you will own it with all your heart, mind, and soul.
You will likely be challenged. You may not like some of the questions I ask.
Expect a change in how you see yourself and your work.
Expect a shift in success:
from what others see as successful to what YOU see as successful.
