Jacqueline V. Twillie teaches people to build AI agents live and negotiate their worth.

Jacqueline V. Twillie, MBA is a three-time bestselling author, leadership development strategist, and founder. For more than a decade she has developed leaders at Fortune 500 organizations including Foot Locker, American Express, and Allstate, and taught more than 300 people to build their first AI agent. She created the L.A.T.T.E. framework, the R4 leadership framework, and the AHA Method, hosts the Forbes-featured Winning Season podcast, and writes the Resilient Leader Insder newsletter. In September 2026, Forbes named her one of the peer leaders closing the $5.5 trillion AI skills gap.

L.A.T.T.E. is Jacqueline V. Twillie's five-step system for preparing for high-stakes workplace conversations, from her bestseller Don't Leave Money on the Table. The steps are Look at the details, Anticipate the challenges, Think about your walk-away point, Talk it through, and Evaluate options. The premise is that preparation is most of the negotiation. Before you walk into the room, you set three numbers: your target, your acceptable outcome, and your walk-away point.

Yes. Salary and career negotiation for women in male-dominated industries is her signature keynote, drawn from Don't Leave Money on the Table and the L.A.T.T.E. framework. She speaks to leadership teams, conferences, and cohorts on negotiation, resilient leadership, and advancing without waiting to be noticed. A keynote is the lightest way to work with her.

Jacqueline works with mid-to-large organizations: Fortune 500 companies, global foundations, and established nonprofits with institutional giving programs. She looks for organizations that already have a philanthropy or leadership function in place and want it to work better.

Both. Jacqueline works with organizations on either side of the giving relationship. Corporate clients typically need partnership frameworks and leadership programs. Foundations and NGOs typically need donor strategy, partnership building, and leadership capacity. She builds these to outlast a single grant cycle or a change in leadership.

All three, depending on what the organization needs. A keynote is the lightest engagement. Jacqueline speaks to your leadership team or conference audience on philanthropy strategy, negotiation, or resilient leadership. A project engagement is scoped to a specific outcome: designing a giving program, building a partnership framework, or running a leadership development cohort. A retainer is for organizations that want ongoing strategic advisory as they build. Most first engagements start as projects.

Project engagements typically run 90 days to six months depending on scope. Leadership programs run as multi-session cohorts, usually three to six months, with follow-on reinforcement. Retainers are structured quarterly. Jacqueline builds every engagement so the organization can run the work on its own when she steps away.

Jacqueline spends the first month learning where the organization stands today, including its giving structure, partnerships, and leadership gaps, and where it needs to be in five years. Then she builds the plan and the order of the first moves. Implementation follows in months two and three. By day 90, the organization has a clear plan and its first results.

You're ready if your organization already has a philanthropy or leadership function that isn't performing the way leadership expects, or you're building one from scratch and want it structured well from the start. If you're starting with no budget and no organizational buy-in yet, her books and newsletter are the right place to begin. Once you have organizational commitment, reach out to Jacqueline to talk through what you're building.

Philanthropy lasts when the structure outlives the leader who launched it. Donor pipelines and partnership frameworks have to hold through budget cycles and leadership turnover. Jacqueline built the Decade Test to answer this question. It's five free questions that show whether a giving strategy will hold over ten years.
