Jacqueline has over 20 years of professional experience but faced challenges along the way. The battle to break the glass ceiling, to progress her career, as one of a limited number of women in a management role, was frustrating. Not feeling included, coming from a different cultural and ethnic background, and constantly having to hide her true self as she tried to fit in, was draining. The stress of balancing all-important family life and workloads, and feeling unfulfilled and alienated about corporate decisions that seemed to have limited regard for people and ethical and social issues, was demoralizing.

In the last 10+ years, she has taken stock, made some career changes, using coaching and development techniques to grow personally and professionally and achieve her lifetime goals. She feels fulfilled working with others (mainly women), who want to achieve their goals, feel valued, develop their careers in values-based businesses, and successfully balance work and family obligations.
