My team had the great pleasure of working with Jackie on a 3-part public speaking workshop. Her professionalism, attention to details, high standards and empathy were evident every step of the way and made the experience an excellent professional development opportunity for our staff. The workshops were superbly organized, engaging, productive and most of all fun! Jackie's approach strikes the perfect balance between theoretical understandings of public speaking and applicable tools that we can put to work immediately.

Second time working with Jackie and she's FABULOUS! She made everyone feel very comfortable, and I am always impressed with how she's able to adapt to so many different situations and with people of so many varied career paths.

Jackie created a safe and confidential environment where I could feel free to lay it all out on the table. She took the time to listen, meet me where I was on my journey, and challenge me in a way that led to growth every single week. Our sessions gave me tools and real-life action items I could use to help me practice and fine-tune my voice all while keeping in mind the human element of connection.”

Shayna Jones | Partnerships Associate at Right To Be

Jackie is amazing at what she does. Her ability to read a person and provide not only helpful but thoughtful guidance & advice across a whole array of business communication and team working needs is second to none. Our team finds their time with Jackie invaluable and their favorite time of the week. As a young company Jackie's advice, experience, and support has been crucial!

Charlotte Forshaw | Co-founder of FWD People

We hired Jackie and Bespoken to provide Sundance Co//ab's virtual and global community of creators and filmmakers with the crucial communication skills they need to pitch their projects. After her initial Master Class was so widely lauded and beneficial to our members, we expanded our work with Jackie to include the development and delivery of a month-long online course. When it comes to facilitating online learning, Jackie is an absolute pro. The content of every session was expertly customized for our audience and as an online facilitator Jackie is engaging, dynamic, informative, and deeply effective. In addition to providing top-notch content and facilitation, she is a pleasure to work with--professional, adaptable, and attentive to our needs. Can't recommend her enough.

When I was an Associate Curator at the Brooklyn Museum we brought Jackie in. She really opened up the team’s mind to new ways of preparing to speak publicly. The fact that we did the work in a group setting allowed us to really learn from one another and see where our stories connect.

Alicia Le'Von Boone | Head of Programming, New York - Today at Apple

Working with Jackie was great preparation for teaching graduate courses. At the end of the process, I was comfortable, ready, and excited to jump into teaching. I can honestly say working with her made me a better communicator and teacher. She has a great laid back style but keeps your feet to the fire.

Patrick Germain | Chief Performance Officer at Graham Windham

Thank you for how much thought and care you put into our sessions. They were so worthwhile and changed the way I think about speaking. My presentation went great today!! I felt very prepared and confident and the idea was so well received.

Missy Kurzweil | Creative Director at Blue State Digital

I worked with Jackie on a formal presentation to a group of influential funders in the philanthropic world. Jackie was incredibly helpful working through my particular issue -- pacing -- and with general best practices for public speaking. She was also a delight to work with, making the sessions an absolute pleasure.

Shuli Karkowsky | CEO Moving Traditions

It was such a pleasure to host Bespoken at John Jay College! We went on a site visit at Democracy NOW and the students were asked to introduce themselves to their donors and staff (including Amy Goodman). As our students were speaking I could see them applying the concepts we discussed and practiced during the Bespoken workshops. It was great!

The workshop you provided our team was totally energizing and SO hugely helpful.

Jackie got me to clarify my goals, hone my “big idea,” and leverage my soul-power into a killer TED talk.

Thoughtful, effective and presented in a way that created an example of the tactics to help us better communicate. Overall very interesting and fun and actionable!

The work we did together was so helpful and necessary for me! It made me much more self-aware and confident. I felt prepared for interviews both in print and video-both with my messaging and my own body language.
