Jackie Zach - Licensed Coach
Jackie has a well-rounded professional background including management roles, financial positions and opening a highly successful retail store in Brookfield, WI in 2008 and became an ActionCOACH client in 2009. While many retailers were forced to close during the economic collapse, Jackie’s store thrived –a testament to her ability to own and operate a successful business. She sold her store in 2018 after a successful 10-year run. Loving what her coach helped her achieve, she wanted to help other business owners do the same.
Coaching since 2014, her experience as a client AND a coach helps her to understand coaching and business ownership from both sides of the coin.
As one of the Top 25 Coaches in the world for ActionCOACH, she can look at your business and pinpoint exactly what's hurting your bottom line and why. One of the areas she specializes in is the unique challenges faced by family-owned businesses from succession planning to family dynamics.
Jackie also conducts training sessions around DISC and teams. She facilitates the ActionCOACH 12-Week sales and management programs.
Some hobbies include playing Pickleball and Sheepshead, sewing, painting, traveling, and cheering on the Packers, Badgers, Bucks and Brewers.
