Helping thoughtful, growth-oriented leaders and organizations uncover the gaps they can’t see on their own, so they can lead more effectively, develop their people, and intentionally shape what comes next.

The Real Leadership Challenge

Sometimes the gap isn’t knowledge. It’s what you can’t see

You can be successful, capable, experienced, and still find yourself stuck.

Maybe you’re avoiding a difficult conversation. Staying too close to the work. Struggling to let go. Second-guessing decisions. Having trouble influencing others. Or wondering why your team isn’t taking more ownership.

Organizations experience the same thing at a larger scale.

The strategy may be clear, but communication, trust, accountability, culture, or leadership capability isn’t where it needs to be.

These are leadership gaps.

And they’re often difficult to see from the inside.

That’s where intentional development can make a difference.

Who I Work With

Leaders ready for what’s next

I work with leaders who want to grow, lead differently, or navigate a new level of responsibility with greater clarity and intention.

This may look like:

  • Stepping into a new leadership role

  • Preparing for greater responsibility

  • Strengthening confidence and influence

  • Navigating difficult conversations

  • Building stronger relationships

  • Delegating and developing others

  • Getting out of the weeds

  • Making decisions with greater confidence

  • Becoming more intentional about the leader you want to be

Organizations ready to develop their people

I partner with organizations that understand leadership development is not simply about teaching skills.

It’s about developing people who can think, communicate, collaborate, adapt, build trust, and lead others well.

Together, we can address:

  • Leadership development

  • Emerging and high-potential leaders

  • Leaders transitioning into new roles

  • Leadership team effectiveness

  • Communication and collaboration

  • Culture and engagement

  • Accountability and ownership

  • Trust and psychological safety

  • Talent development and retention

  • Organizational growth and change

The Human Side of Leadership

The future of leadership is human.

Technology can give us more information, faster.

It can’t replace judgment, curiosity, self-awareness, courage, trust, connection, or the ability to understand and develop other people.

The leaders and organizations that thrive will be the ones willing to keep developing the human skills that make everything else work.

How I Help

Leadership development for the moments that matter.

Whether you're growing into your own leadership or responsible for developing others, the work starts by understanding what is getting in the way and building the human skills to move forward with greater intention.

Executive & Leadership Coaching

For leaders ready to grow with greater intention.

Individual coaching for emerging leaders, experienced executives and people navigating greater responsibility.

We work with the real leadership moments happening now: decision-making, communication, delegation, confidence, conflict, executive presence, relationships and the shift from doing the work to leading through others.

Leadership Development for Organizations

For organizations building stronger leaders and a stronger bench.

Customized leadership development for organizations that want to move beyond one-size-fits-all training.

From executive coaching and emerging leader development to team workshops and leadership cohorts, the work is shaped around the people, culture and leadership gaps that matter most to your organization.

I’m not here to give you all the answers.

I’m here to help you see more clearly.

Coaching with me is thoughtful, direct, curious, and grounded in real-world leadership experience.

I’ll ask questions that make you think. Challenge assumptions when they’re getting in your way. Reflect back what I’m seeing. And create enough space for you to arrive at your own answers.

Because the goal isn’t to become dependent on a coach.

It’s to become more capable of leading yourself and others.

Jacqueline “Jax” Rose, PCC

Executive & Leadership Coach

I’ve been in the leadership seat. Now I help others lead with greater intention.

For more than 20 years, I led teams and built relationships in the hospitality industry. I learned that leadership isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about being willing to get curious, listen, and create the conditions for people to contribute and grow.

Today, as an Adler Certified Professional Coach and ICF Professional Certified Coach, I bring that real-world leadership experience into my work with leaders and organizations.

I help people see what they may not be able to see on their own, so they can lead themselves and others more intentionally.

CLIENT EXPERIENCES

What changes when you give yourself room to think differently.

  • I am profoundly grateful for the guidance and support I've received from Jacqueline. From the outset, her ability to maintain poise, presence, and focus stood out, creating an environment where I felt supported and encouraged. Her expertise as a business coach is evident through her insightful guidance and the experienced way she navigates sessions. During a particularly challenging period, Jacqueline's skillful coaching helped me explore, navigate, and take decisive action amidst chaos. Her calm, centered confidence was not only soothing but also provided a safe space for me to confront and manage these challenges effectively. I cannot recommend Jacqueline highly enough to anyone seeking not just a coach, but a genuine partner in navigating personal and professional growth.

  • It has been a few years since I first worked with Jax. I often catch myself reflecting on my life up until this point, and I remember her coaching me through pivotal moments that lead to some of the greatest rewards that I have accomplished. Each step we mapped out was aligned with what I needed to do. She gave me the courage to take risks and do the hard things because it was the path to my own greatness. Her approach is personal, empathetic, good natured and effective. Years later, I still do some of exercises she showed me, and they have brought so much structure and clarity to my life going forward. Ultimately, she has made me feel like I am in control of my life and helped me build a confidence to build a life I love and that I am proud of. Anyone who has the pleasure of working with her is in for a TREAT!!!

  • Working with Jax as I navigated my professional goals was an absolute joy. She created a supportive, comfortable space that allowed for honesty and self-discovery, while also challenging me to think differently (and more critically) about my direction and leadership style. Each session felt both grounding and energizing. Through our sessions together, I gained the confidence to ask for what I want and the structure to take clear, actionable steps forward. I’m deeply grateful for the clarity and momentum I gained. I highly recommend Jax to anyone seeking direction, growth, or a meaningful reset.

You don’t have to know exactly what needs to change.

You just need to know you’re ready to look.

Let’s have a conversation about where you are, where you want to go, and what might be getting in the way.
