Women Who Ask Club
Where women practice the conversations they’ve been avoiding - so things finally change.
We’re a live practice space for women navigating real conversations at work and at home that you’ve been avoiding, overthinking, or replaying.
We help you get you clear on what you want, organize your thoughts, build your confidence, and practice saying it out loud - so when the moment comes, you don’t freeze, soften, or second-guess.
No canned AI scripts.
Just coaching, practice, community, and a skill you use again and again, as new conversations come up.
Built on the Power of the Ask™ framework, used by 700+ women.
JOIN THE CLUB"A work problem I’d been carrying for over a year completely disappeared!
The conversation went better than I could have imagined - including how heard and respected I felt. Not only did I my problem disappear, I walked away relieved and wanting to stay."
- Anonymous, Head of HR @ Financial Services / Crypto Asset Management

From Swirling Ideas to Clear Conversation
"All the pieces of my ask for a raise were in my head - I just didn't know how to present them.
Jacqueline and Power of the Ask system streamlined what was in my head into a clear and convincing script I could confidently deliver.
More than anything, it gave me a tool to use over and over again to feel LESS anxious about the conversation."
- Katie, Chief Marketing Officer @ DRIFT + Mom

All In One
How Women Who Ask Club Is Different
Most communication support addresses only one piece of the challenge with speaking up:
-
what to say
-
how to say it
-
your mindset
-
or your confidence
Women Who Ask Club works because it address and integrates all four - with practice and connection.
Inside the club, you don’t work on these pieces in isolation.
You clarify what you want, organize it into a clear ask, address what gets in your way, and practice saying it out loud - together.
And you’re not doing this alone.
You’re in a room with other capable women preparing for real conversations at work and at home.
What makes it different:
-
All four elements, integrated - not piecemeal
-
Practice with other honest women, not in your head or with friends
-
Real conversations, not hypotheticals
-
A calm, grounded space where asking is normal
-
Structure, support, and connection - not pressure
That's why it sticks.
Women Who Are Soaring
Real Women. Real Conversations. Real Change.
From carrying it for months - to saying it clearly in one conversation - and creating change.
From Overextended to Aligned and Advocating — at Work and at Home
"I've finally synced up my personal and professional goals - and am acting on them.
My confidence has been re-ignited to successfully transition through various stages of my life and career. Especially as a mom, I now actually advocate for what I need to have a career and motherhood."
- Noelle R, Founder, Frontier Family Office Forum | Frontier Tech Leaders & Investment Firms
From Almost Leaving to Fully Leading
“Before working with Jacqueline, I was on the verge of leaving. Now, I’m voicing what I need clearly and confidently - and being heard.
My boss takes my input seriously, our communication flows, and I’ve fallen back in love with my job. Our team is thriving, and so am I.”
- Rosa, Co-Founder @ Rupa Health
Leading as a CEO - Without the Overwhelm
"Through our work, I not only earned the CEO title, but built a team that thrives without me doing it all.
I’m still busy but no longer overwhelmed - and Power of the ask is an essential tool in how I lead as a CEO. Our people are thriving because of it - and I'm less stressed."
- Cori, CEO of Townsend Public Affairs
Let's name the elephant in the room: AI...
AI gives words

Meet your coach
I'm Jacqueline
I’m an executive coach, conversation strategist, and creator of Power of the Ask™. I equip ambitious women and organizations turn chaos into calm and ideas into influence.
Before coaching, I spent 16 years building and leading teams at Disney and Deloitte across Los Angeles, London, and San Francisco. From the outside, it looked like success. Inside, every conversation felt like a tug-of-war between advocating for what was right and managing how I’d be perceived.
I wasn’t burned out from the workload.
I was exhausted from over-explaining, holding back, limiting beliefs, and avoiding conversations that mattered.
That realization changed everything.
I built systems for clarity, strengthened my ability to ask, transformed from overworking and over-explaining to leading and speaking with calm confidence that moves people and makes space to breathe - without pressure, pushiness, or fallout.
Now, through Power of the Ask™, I teach women how to prepare for real conversations, say what needs to be said clearly, advocate for themselves, and walk away lighter - not braced.
My work blends corporate leadership experience with NLP, somatic tools, the Enneagram, and Human Design (I’m a 4/6 Projector) - always grounded, practical, and human.
Because real leadership isn’t about doing more -
- it's about mastering conversations and beliefs to move things forward while upholding boundaries.
