WORK HISTORY
Fellow Leadership Coach and Group Coach @BetterUp
Through BetterUp’s global coaching platform, I work with senior leaders and leaders of leaders navigating sustained pressure, organizational change, and elevated stakeholder demands.My focus is not surface performance enhancement.It is executive recalibration.In high-velocity environments, leaders are expected to deliver results, influence upward, and stabilize teams — often while absorbing invisible pressure.Over time, that pressure reshapes cognition, behavior, and relational dynamics.Within the BetterUp ecosystem — integrating behavioral science, AI-enabled insights, and executive coaching — I support leaders to: Strengthen cognitive clarity under volatility Expand strategic range and flexibility Reduce reactive leadership patterns Sustain performance without narrowing personallyThe work is designed to increase resilience, adaptability, and executive steadiness — not just in role, but across the systems leaders influence.

SKILLS
ABOUT JACKIE MCKAY
High-functioning leaders rarely struggle publicly.Performance remains strong.Reputation holds.Results continue.But sustained pressure has a cumulative cost.Cognitive bandwidth narrows.Patience shortens.Strategic thinking tightens.At home, connection becomes more functional than steady.Not dramatic.Just thinner.Left unaddressed, this doesn’t create collapse.It creates drift.And drift is expensive — because it’s subtle.Most leaders respond by increasing control, output, or discipline.That reinforces the pressure loop.I work with senior leaders, founders, directors, and VPs operating under sustained pressure — the kind that quietly reshapes cognition, behavior, and relational dynamics over time.Through neuroscience-based executive recalibration, we interrupt patterns that: Reduce cognitive flexibility Amplify vigilance and urgency cycles Strengthen reactive leadership behaviors Create performance and relational dragThis is not therapy.It is structured recalibration for high-functioning leaders who want to remain sharp without becoming narrower.I work primarily with leaders individually and, when appropriate, alongside their partner — because leadership and home life are interdependent systems.When one constricts, the other carries the cost.For over 18 years, I’ve coached leaders across enterprise, technology, and public sector environments — integrating applied neuroscience, executive coaching, and relational systems strategy.The objective is simple:Protect cognitive clarity.Protect emotional steadiness.Protect what matters.If performance is strong — but something feels tighter than it should — message me directly. Conversations are confidential.
