Meet Jacqueline
Jacqueline believes every individual can infinitely evolve how they communicate.
She has been a professional communicator for more than two decades. She started out in the PR industry, coaching executives for media interviews and securing coverage across Canada and the U.S. including The Globe & Mail, CBC and BusinessWeek, to name a few.
In 2008, Jacqueline co-founded Soya Marketing, one of Canada’s first agencies to specialize in social media.
Now, she delivers training on speaking clearly, presenting powerfully, leading meetings, and other interpersonal communication topics…all with the aim of helping people become more empowered communicators.
Jacqueline applies a firm commitment to environmental sustainability, and diversity, equity and inclusion principles in her work.
For more than 12 years, Jacqueline has been practicing meditation, and now teaches. Meditation informs her approach to communication and every aspect of her life.
