I have had the pleasure of working with Jill in her roles at Together4Health both as COO and CEO. Jill brings forth innovation, passion, focus and integrity to each undertaking. Her demeanor exudes professionalism while remaining personable to all levels of staff. In these positions, she cultivated a creative approach that not only advanced the company but also the employees.

Even during times of adversity, Jill maintained a positive outlook preserving the company’s culture of optimism and inspiration. She was not only able to successfully lead an organization in her executive roles but she also took the time to coach, develop and empower staff. At the closing of Together4Health, while staff were troubled by losing their jobs, they expressed a deeper sadness that they lost the “best place I’ve ever worked for.” Creating a culture that generates this exceptional impact is truly the mark of a great leader!

Be Well required a Strategic Plan and contracted with Impact Solutions to assist us in its development.

Jill interviewed our executive team, our staff, our Board, and a wide variety of agencies who intersected with our business. She provided written and verbal feedback in a manner that was even-handed, analytic, and which helped us move to the next level. One year later our company went through a critical juncture and we again requested the assistance of Impact Solutions. She gave us exactly what we needed and we secured expert guidance with respect to tasks, timelines, and processes.

Jill is highly skilled in strategic planning, organizational development, business development, team building, and arriving at outcome-based solutions. Should you enlist her assistance you will not be disappointed.

Jill was a pleasure to work with. She took the time to get to know our organization, my team, and the challenge we were facing. She helped us turn a lofty idea into manageable parts we could implement quickly. Her solutions were backed by numbers and fit into the larger growth strategy of our organization.

I feel confident that Jill’s recommendations will help us achieve our goals and serve more children in Chicagoland this year.
