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 she has taught more than 300 people to build their first AI agent. She created the L.A.T.T.E. negotiation framework, the R4 resilient leadership framework, and the AHA Method, hosts the Forbes-featured Winning Season podcast, and writes the Resilient Leader Insder newsletter. In September 2026, Forbes featured her as 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. The common thread is not size but readiness: organizations that already have a philanthropy or leadership function and need it to perform at a different level.

Both. The work is the same whether the organization sits on the giving side or the receiving side of the table. Corporate clients typically need partnership architecture and leadership programs. Foundations and NGOs typically need donor strategy, institutional partnership building, and leadership capacity. Both need programs that hold.

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 are designed as multi-session cohorts, usually three to six months with follow-on reinforcement. Retainers are structured quarterly. The goal in every engagement is to leave the organization with something that runs without her: a framework, a program, a set of relationships, not a dependency.

The first 90 days are diagnostic and architectural. Jacqueline starts by understanding where the organization is (the existing giving structure, the partnership landscape, the leadership gaps) and where it needs to be in five years. From there, she builds the strategic architecture: the framework, the sequencing, and the first set of moves. Implementation follows in months two and three. By day 90, the organization has a clear plan and the first tangible results.

The right signal is that your organization already has a philanthropy or leadership function but it's not performing the way leadership expects, or you're building one and need it structured to last. If you're starting from zero with no budget and no organizational buy-in, the books and newsletter are the right place to begin. If you have organizational commitment and are ready to build something that holds, that's the conversation Jacqueline is built for.

Philanthropy lasts when the structure outlives the leader who launched it. That means donor pipelines and partnership frameworks that survive budget cycles and leadership change, not a single campaign tied to one champion. Jacqueline calls this building for the decade, not the announcement. Her free Decade Test is a five-question read on whether a giving strategy is built to hold.
