Yes, if anyone ever looks you up. Before a client call, a coffee chat or an alumni intro, people search your name, and your LinkedIn is what turns up. It's often their first impression of you, made before you've said a word, so it should show who you are today.

A PERSON, NOT A PLATFORM
Who’s behind the Collective
Jacquelyn Christensen (JQ), Founder
Industry is interesting. The individual is more so.
In my youth, someone told me I had a curious sense of direction. In my first job, someone told me I was a force of nature. The truth lies somewhere in between. Neither tells the whole story. Turns out, organizations have pretty complex stories too.
Consulting has taken me through complex stories from purpose-first startups to corporate leaders operating at scale. The details changed. The work of figuring out which stories mattered didn’t. Different industries. Different challenges. The same, “So, what?”
My “So, what?” is evolving into much more of a “Why not?” I’ve chosen to step away from full-time work to build my growing family, chase demanding, irrational, infuriatingly adorable and underaged stakeholders, and keep the household from chaotic collapse.
But along the way, I never lost my interest in finding, crafting and communicating the stories around us through mentorship and coaching. Today, I coach founders, MBA candidates, and professionals navigating career changes, competitive admissions, and recruiting. I help them figure out what they want to say, how they want to say it, and how they want to show up professionally.
That’s JQ Collective: elevating professional presence, one individual at a time.
