Training Design/Delivery for Business Development, Facilitation, and Management & Leadership Courses

“Jacey created a tailored curriculum for my team to learn new skills in facilitation and workshop planning. She was proactive, thoughtful, and listened to our needs as individuals and our goals as a team. I would recommend this training to anyone who wants to gain confidence in their facilitation skills and I have seen them put the techniques to practice. Jacey is a star!”

– Seema Patel, U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)

“Jacey is a highly organized and talented professional. She designed a comprehensive training program for my organization on technical proposal writing and leading proposals. Her ability to put together a well organized program design with a logical flow made my job as a facilitator much easier and contributed to successful courses that received positive feedback from participants.”

Retreat, Team Building, Strategic Planning, and After Action Review Facilitation

“Jacey helped organize and facilitate a retreat for my department of 50 staff. She’s a people person; gets along with everyone and connected well to my team. Jacey is a great listener and was instrumental in shaping the agenda so that we could get the most out of the retreat. She invested in getting to know the pulse of my department and her facilitation of the actual event was spot on. I appreciated that Jacey followed up rapidly after the retreat with a concrete set of recommendations to improve performance and staff satisfaction in my department. I would gladly work with Jacey again without any reservation.”

– Rhett Gurian, Chemonics International

“Jacey was a highly effective facilitator for my department over the course of several years. She went beyond just making sure our retreats were productive and glitch-free. She invested a lot of time in understanding what our team needed. For example, the first year she worked with us we were grappling with a decrease in our level of business, so the team was worried. The second year, we had experienced significant growth in our market position, so the team was excited but burnt out. The third year, Jacey helped our team work through an internal restructuring. She has always been very insightful and discreet, and she has great ideas for engaging the team and working through issues.”

– Jenny Baker, Development Alternatives Inc. (DAI)

“Jacey led our team’s retreat at a time when we needed some significant help in change management, morale booting, and new direction setting. She seamlessly and quickly learned about our challenges and opportunities and ultimately created a clear structural framework around which she could guide our retreat discussions. Through her expert facilitation, our team was able to come away with a clear strategy to move forward. She’s professional, flexible, communicative, and easily adapted to our unique business setting. We would have been lost without her!”

– Daniel Head, Head Global

Coaching for Presentations

“While leading a multi-million dollar proposal at Pact, I had the pleasure of working with Jacey in her capacity as the oral presentation coach for the presentation team for the opportunity. Jacey's envisioned role was to provide high-level guidance on oral presentation best practices, coach the presentation team in preparation for a multi-hour oral presentation, plan for and facilitate practice sessions, and provide support with the development of the presentation material itself. She flawlessly fulfilled all of these expectations and went above and beyond. Jacey was able to quickly jump on a fast moving train towards a very tight deadline, build trust and rapport with numerous people on the proposal team from different backgrounds and countries, and serve as a voice of encouragement and positivity in an otherwise stressful situation. I heard over and over that my colleagues were thankful for the one-on-one time with Jacey to strengthen their individual presentations, as well as the collective spaces Jacey facilitated to ensure a strong team approach to the oral presentation. Jacey was always organized, well-prepared, patient, and flexible, as we adapted to unexpected changes in the process. She became an indispensable member of the proposal team and made us all feel proud of a stellar final product. I could not recommend Jacey enough as a presentation coach, business development expert, and all-around stellar professional”
