What To Say After "Are You Okay?" | Jackie Grier, Executive Partner and Director at Mindset Practice | Ep 36

What to say, after "Are you okay?"

Today I had the pleasure of sitting down with friend and Emotional Intelligence Master Practitioner Jackie Grier.

Jackie is a Mindset Practice of Emotional Intelligence Master Practitioner, Accredited Executive Coach, Master Trainer in the Lifo® Method, Licensed Human Element Practitioner and Registered Nurse and Health Visitor.

Jackie's coaching and facilitation style is an amazing blend of empathy and gravitas.

She uses 'silence' exceedingly well, showing genuine concern and compassion while at the same moment being able to ask the tough questions. By always holding a positive intention for people, she can really explore tricky areas because the other party is assured with certainty that she always comes from a position of caring.

She is perceptive, astute and is well placed in her questioning. She holds your attention very well and has a wonderful way of bringing real clarity to complexity.

Jackie's style is a transformational blend of empathy and gravitas that encourages mindset change and helps develop a positive, productive leadership climate.

An impactful mindset practice master facilitator and executive coach, Jackie was the coaching and facilitation lead on leadership development for clients in the UK and internationally including, Dstl, EA, Natural England, McDonald's, Centrica, Thales, HSBC, Balfour Beatty, Costain, Kier and NHS Leadership Academy and NHS.

A former registered nurse and health visitor, she believes in a holistic attitude to developing leadership, resilience and wellbeing which focuses on emotional, mental and physical health.

Jackie chooses to include physical fitness as a key part of her lifestyle, inspiring others by having taken part in UK Ninja Warrior and Tough Mudder's. Jackie believes in the power of physical and emotional fitness to enable us to be emotionally and physically fit and resilient in the workplace. Her yoga practice is also now very much part of her lifestyle as a place to nurture physical and emotional wellbeing.

She is delighted to be growing Mindset Practice as she is passionate about people and supporting them to be the best version of themselves.
