WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“I FEEL ARMED AND READY TO TACKLE WHAT’S AHEAD OF ME IN A WAY THAT JUST FEELS RIGHT.”
As a Vice President within the Taco Bell marketing team, I engaged Jill Tomac as my leadership coach to heighten my executive presence and sharpen my communication skills. Through Jill’s coaching, I developed my confidence and gained techniques for taking more risks, stepping outside of my comfort zone, strategically preparing for various situations, and becoming more macro around the entire business. I have ultimately increased my ability to influence others and have a greater impact on the business. What I appreciate most about Jill’s style is her ability to quickly understand any situation then provide immediate and practical ways to improve my effectiveness with others. She is a master at reframing my approach so I feel armed and ready to tackle what’s ahead of me in way that just feels right! I highly recommend Jill as a coach for those who are looking to get to the next level in their leadership.

“I SAW MY LEADERS EXCEL AND WAS PERSONALLY ABLE TO OVERCOME OBSTACLES IN A HIGHLY EFFECTIVE MANNER”
I reached out to Jill Tomac as CEO of an organization in transition. I had many newly promoted leaders who were expected to build cohesive, top performing, self-sufficient teams. Although my managers and directors were highly talented and had great success in previous roles, I saw a need for them to further enhance their abilities to hold staff accountable, facilitate difficult conversations, and help their staff transition during a time of change. Jill led us through a comprehensive training to introduce powerful leadership concepts and then provided on-going support through her coaching abilities. She had an incredible ability to quickly identify underlying issues and then provide guidance and direction in a non-threatening manner. She became a valuable sounding board and resource. Though our work with Jill I saw my leaders excel and was personally able to overcome obstacles and handle challenges in a highly effective manner.

“THROUGH JILL’S HIGHLY INTERACTIVE APPROACH, PARTICIPANTS LEFT WITH KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS THEY WILL USE THE REST OF THEIR LIFE, BOTH PERSONALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY.”
The Young Dairy Leader Institute (YDLI) is a nationally recognized leadership program for young professionals working in the dairy industry. We engaged with Jill Tomac to facilitate our opening session and launch our four-day conference on a high note. Through Jill’s workshop, we were able to establish a solid foundation on self-awareness which we continued to build on throughout the week. Our group gained a stronger understanding of communication styles and habits that can inspire others or hinder relationships. Through Jill’s highly interactive approach, participants left with knowledge and skills they will use the rest of their life, both personally and professionally. Jill even tailored some of the interactive exercises to our specific industry, which helped maximize the impact of her session.
Participants described Jill as a “wonderful, professional, and great speaker” and commented that her session was “amazing”, “eye-opening”, and provided “great learning and insight about myself and others”. With feedback like that, we’re happy to invite Jill back, and are pleased to recommend her to others.
