About Jackie

To be honest, some people shouldn’t be coached by Jackie. Those seeking the next fad or style enhancer for career progression may not benefit from working with Jackie. Jackie’s skill is best spent with coachee’s who are seeking a developmental journey now but a lasting capability beyond to serve a greater purpose to themselves and others whose life in turn is influenced by Jackie’s approach.

Being coached via Skype really works for me for two reasons. First (and most importantly), I can work with my coach of choice no matter where in the world they are located. Secondly, I don’t need to travel to a physical location. I prefer it to phone interactions because the video allows us to connect in a way that we simply can’t if the visual communication cues are missing

Amanda Yuil, Coach

Working with Jackie was an incredibly rewarding experience. I looked forward to each encounter as she helped guide me to become the leader I wanted to be. I will definitely work with her again in the near future and would highly recommend her.

Ken Elias, Business Owner

Jackie has the happy knack of coaxing you to peel back the layers to what you really need to examine, to make real choices and then to construct practical ways to move ahead with them. I think that is the essence of good coaching – to help you find the way yourself whilst keeping you honest in the process and Jackie is masterful in doing this.

Kerry Wood, Business Manager (Chemicals)

It’s often hard to distil the noise from the really important and actionable change that is needed. Jackie is incredibly skilled in putting the unimportant stuff aside and focusing on what will make you successful in your role and your future roles.

Carrie Smith, PWC

The time spent with Jackie during our coaching sessions was highly effective in providing me relevant reference materials, an independent, knowledgeable person to discuss ideas with and appropriate post session work. This resulted in improved confidence, an increased perception and an improved efficiency. I would recommend Jackie, her skills and methods to you.

R.Souter, Transition manager

Working with Jackie has been an experience I will never forget and one that I will also look back on as being transformational in my own personal and professional development. I have the utmost respect for Jackie and would highly recommend Jackie for those who are ready for the challenge.

Warren Smith, Senior Leader, Finance

I have been working with Jackie Crispin Brown for many years now and have grown significantly through this time thanks to regular coaching sessions as well as more intensive workshops. These sessions have always challenged me and allowed me to learn so much about myself and those around me. Jackie has an amazing coaching technique, with the learnings coming from my own thinking and actions. She has an acute awareness of the physical, mental and social factors that affect our behaviours and is continually researching these and other fields to improve and share her knowledge.

The benefits I have experienced have been across the full spectrum of my life, opening up opportunities and helping me excel in the work environment as well as and helping me flourish on a personal front. Although sometimes challenging I thoroughly enjoy all our interactions and feel I am a better person as a result of these.

Simon Jones, Manufacturing Manager

I have been working with Jackie for 18 month, and have found her style and approach to be refreshing and effective. I have gone from being a manager who was reluctant to make a decision and only brought part of herself to the job, to a leader who is continually challenging herself and those around her to be more authentic, who is prepared to make decisions and who sees the value of forging strong relationships with peers and team members.

Maxine Hellmann, Procurement

Coaching has helped me understand who I am, my core beliefs, and the false perceptions and lies that I told myself daily. By being true to myself, I have cleaned the house, aligned my life to build on my core beliefs and not fight against them. There is great peace when things are resonating well.

I have learnt to see how my actions stimulate those around me to act in the ways they do. So it wasn’t that I had a bad team – I just wasn’t leading them in a way that enabled them to be the best they could be. By focussing on leading people with a less directive style, I have built a high performing and engaged team.

Mike Schramko, Operations Manager, Quickstep Technologies PTY. LTD.

Jackie stands head and shoulders above other executive coaches and leadership development specialists I’ve worked with over the years. I’ve had coaching with Jackie personally, and she’s worked with my executive teams at two businesses I’ve run.

When coaching me she pushes hard to find the real truth and the real me, and holds me to account to be truly authentic in my leadership and in my development. When working with my teams its been common for people to comment that it is by the far the best leadership development they’ve ever had. It’s always evident that this comes from Jackie’s deep academic and experience base, from which she draws on just the right tool or concept to bring about the insight and learning that will enhance leadership effectiveness and business results.
