Jill’s passion is to help leaders and their teams unleash their unique brilliance to create meaningful and lasting change, while delivering bottom-line results. Jill embeds the following Three Core Principles in her work: Truth and Courage: Candor with a sense of caring builds awareness, clarity, and trust – the bedrock to high performance. Bravely sharing what we see will always move people forward, faster. Collaboration and Inclusion: Brilliant leaders know the value of having all the voices at the table. In a culture based on belonging, people are safe to be themselves as they accomplish together what they otherwise cannot apart. A Whole Person Approach: For enduring positive change, leaders must bring all of themselves into play. Clarifying values and a vision of success, while reducing any undue stress, leaders free up energy for what matters most.
