About — Leadership Development | Executive Coaching

MY RELENTLESS MISSION

To improve the quality of leadership inside organizations and the quality of life for our leaders.

I want more women and folks from non-dominant cultures in greater and higher positions of power in every industry, all over the world. I want for-profit organizations to lead us in using their businesses for social and environmental good. I want healthy, happy, equitable workplaces where people and profits can thrive. I want great leaders standing in their authentic power, using their unique gifts to transform the world.

I’m Jacque Saltsman.

I’m Founder & CEO of Wildly Rising and a seasoned Executive Leadership Coach with 20+ years of experience across various business functions. My mission is to **equip leaders and organizations with the essential skills for achieving outstanding business results while fostering healthy cultures that promote belonging, purpose, and retention**.
For many seasoned leaders, the world has changed at a dizzying pace. I excel at supporting professionals to understand and amplify their gifts, as well as identify their bio-behavioral blindspots and how they are getting in their own way. With a gentle, grounded presence, proven frameworks and over a decade of experience, I **offer leaders a personalized roadmap to uplevel their presence, focus their productivity and elevate their leadership to match today’s ever-evolving needs.**

All of my coaching engaements, group programs and facilitation take a holistic and humanistic approach to professional and organizational growth and development.

I am a successful entrepreneur of over 15 years, a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) from the prestigious Co-Active Training Institute and a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) with the International Coach Federation. I am certified in the Leadership Circle Profile (LCP) 360 Assessment Tool, have advanced training in Adult Development Coaching and am a Certified Technical Trainer with a Bachelor of Science in Health Science with a focus on Behavior Change from Clemson University. In addition to my years of experience in business, leadership, management, training, and talent development, my expertise also includes training in Mindfulness, Meditation, Somatic and Emotional Intelligence, Healthy Communication and Women’s Empowerment.

I'm also a leader in my local community, volunteering my time and skills to my commitments to advancing women leaders (young and old) as well as promoting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in a variety of spaces.

I also take my commitment to adventure and fun very seriously.

This commitment has taken me on a 6-month backpacking trip around South America, a medical mission trip to post-hurricane Puerto Rico, cross-country camping trips, hang-gliding over the Alps, spelunking in Switzerland, repelling waterfalls in Ecuador, ice-climbing in Peru, jungle-ing into the Amazon, trapeze-ing on a rooftop in NYC as well as years spent working and flourishing in Chicago and Austin, TX before coming back full circle to my home state and now calling Louisville home.

IN PURSUIT OF A MORE EQUITABLE WORLD

This work is for all of us.

Equity and Inclusivity are non-negotiable at Wildly Rising and for me personally. I am fiercely committed to leadership equity and wellbeing and have focused much of my career on women’s empowerment and leadership success. My mission for happier, healthier work and workplaces, though, includes everyone. I am committed to my own journey of learning, unlearning and continuing to course-correct as I do my part in standing for justice and equity for all.
