So many people are in transition, some by choice and others because they were forced into it. Is this you? Are you ready to make the Big Leap and want someone to help you do that? If so, I'd love to connect: jackie@key-dynamics.com. 

I spent most of my career as a newspaper executive in the second-largest media group in the U.S. In 2003, I discovered coaching, got certified and opened my own business -- all after only 5 months of coaching! A few years later, I took the job as CEO for the Key Largo (Fla.) Chamber of Commerce. 

It was a fabulous run for seven years, but in 2012 I made another transition to focus on my own business and my lifelong passion -- helping people get what they want out of life.  

In 2016, I published a book titled, "The DIY Coaching Manual for Women: How to Transform Your Life in 12 Months." My next book will be called, "Please! Learn From My Mistakes!" :-) 

Here's who I work with: 

• PROFESSIONALS -- Have you been in your current position for a while and wondered, "Is this all there is?" Do you want to make more money, but don't know how to negotiate for a bigger salary or a promotion? Do you want to build your leadership skills? I can help you develop the skill sets you need to demonstrate your value and ask for what you want...and deserve.

• ENTREPRENEURS -- Are you thinking of starting your own business or are you already in business and want to grow your revenue and client base? I went from a 30-year corporate executive to the CEO of a nonprofit to running my own business, so I've been there and learned a lot. I provide information, focus, feedback and support through entrepreneur coaching.

• PEOPLE IN TRANSITION -- Are you a recent widow/widower or divorced? Downsized? Replaced by a younger, less-experienced and cheaper version of yourself? I can help you get your mojo back through personalized coaching that focuses on what you need the most to help you recognize your value and worth. 

If you're ready to invest in yourself (for a change!) and want to explore one-on-one success coaching, set up an appointment on my online calendar: https://calendly.com/jackie-keydynamics/30-minute-discovery-zoom-call to see how we might work together to create the life of your dreams.

Congressional Record Excerpt

“Mr. Speaker,

I rise today to pay tribute to Dr. Paulette Dale of Miami-Dade College in Miami, Florida, for her contributions towards the emotional betterment of all people. Recently, Dr. Dale published a book on assertiveness which she hopes will help women to develop self-esteem. Dr. Dale believes that low-esteem is too pervasive in America, particularly among women. It is a privilege to pay tribute to Dr. Paulette Dale, who uses her vast knowledge and her own life experiences to help others.”
