"The revelations that occurred were phenomenal.
Jackie helped me see things through another light by taking myself out
of a situation and looking at the big picture. The program helped me identify
my strengths and weaknesses, focus on my life purpose, and maximize those
skills to reach my highest potential.
I continue to use Jackie as my professional coach."

"Going to Jackie's class has transformed the way
I feel about living in this community. I didn't think I could find this
level of experience here. In addition to the value of the course itself,
I have met dozens of professional, fabulous, authentic women."

"Jackie's course was very powerful and has helped
me in my many leadership roles. Learning to work on how to change my 'automatic
response' in various situations has helped change my view when dealing
with customers, employees, and my children! She also pointed out some
limiting beliefs that I had which allowed me to open my mind to new ideas
and conversations. The group setting also was successful as it provided
a deeper understanding of issues that leadership women face in a dynamic
and growing business world."
Judy Sweet
Strategic Investment Advisors
"Participation in Jackie Michel's leadership program has given me
insight into my internal strengths that drive good decisions. I have learned
to prioritize and organize for the right balance in work, community, and
in my personal life - essential for success in the real estate field."

Comments
on the Leadership courses: "Several years ago I had what I called
"a crisis in leadership" when I was confronted with a situation
at work that I did not handle well. Taking Jackie's course helped me realize
that the
old, familiar ways I handled things didn't work in every situation, and
that
I was capable of developing new strategies for successfully navigating
all kinds of circumstances in my workplace as well as in my personal life."
Comments on the Weekend: "Life bombards us with things
to do and think about all day, every day. Rarely does it provide respite
from the demands of work, family, friends, community -- all the things
we are up to these days. Participating in Jackie's weekend allows me the
time and the perfect setting to remind myself of who I am, what my priorities
are, who I want to be in the world. Nowadays, I build the weekend into
my schedule and my budget and give myself the gift of a restorative experience
every spring and fall.."

my department through a transition she guided me in redefining myself
as a leader. Simply put, her support allowed me to enlarge my vision of
my leadership abilities."
