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.

Do you want to make sense of things? Make better decisions? Behave wisely?
See significant growth in your personal and professional life?

If "Yes" to these questions, then the balanced life of Knowing and Doing is for you!

Proverbs for Professionals shares the precepts of a balanced life with growth-minded influencers. The outcome of that balance is clearer personal, professional, and spiritual purpose.

What's the source of that life balance? Wisdom! Which is? The universal precepts of life that help us with knowing or learning, as well as with doing or applying experiential insights.

To that end, Proverbs for Professionals is all about sharing the basics of a precept-driven life. The source of those precepts is the Book of Proverbs from scripture. In short, a precept-driven life produces the Know-Do Balance.

First, two disclaimers:
1). Wisdom isn't about native intelligence. Why? Because the instruction in Proverbs is all about character transformation. It's nothing about being smart.
2). Wisdom isn't about common sense. Why? Because it's not inherent, not animal instinct. Instead, it's about being teachable.

Therefore, wisdom begins with WHO. That is, with self-awareness, by changing WHO I am. To make that change, I must be teachable. Then, my life purpose, my WHY, follows after WHO.

What are some traits of a precept-driven life as described in Proverbs? Here's a partial list:
1). Good judgment
2). Critical thinking
3). Discernment
4). Reverence
5). Experiential insight
6). Self-awareness
7). Self-control
8). Interpersonal discretion
9). Clarity about life purpose
10). Growth mindset
11). Greater productivity
12). Leadership influence

Now, there's a dozen benefits worth pursuing!

Proverbs for Professionals shares the basics of a precept-driven life through week-day, short-form LinkedIn posts. Plus, longer-form blog posts are available at http://proverbsforprofessionals.net/. 

To learn more about my experiences and qualifications, read "Some words about me" on the blog.

To learn more about what makes Proverbs unique among all the other wisdom literature, read the "Value Proposition" on the blog site.

You're invited to join me as together we learn about precept-driven growth. I look forward to interacting with you.
