- "A one-hour coaching session with Ken Jacobs has inspired, refreshed and instilled confidence in me to take action on several key strategies for my agency. Having interacted with Ken for more than a decade through PRSA Counselors Academy (CAPRSA), I knew him as a kind soul who offers clarity, objectivity, and gives tirelessly of his expertise. His coaching skills reflect more than 25 years of agency leadership and management as well as best practices gleaned from agencies of many different configurations - another benefit of being part of CAPRSA. I highly recommend Ken and look forward to our next conversation."

We’ve given him multiple assignments – none of them easy – and he’s far outperformed our expectations every time. We’ve taken to calling Ken the “PR Whisperer” around the office."
Dan BaumCEO and Founder, DBC PR+New Media - "I had the privilege of working with Ken as my leadership coach earlier this year, and he did not disappoint. During our time together, Ken helped me identify both strengths and opportunities for development, then worked closely with me to outline actionable steps for growth as a leader in the communications industry. Several months after the end of our engagement, I consider Ken a great mentor, partner and friend. I would highly recommend him for leadership coaching."

He really helped me distinguish what was reality vs. my own imagination, and did a great job in holding me accountable for coming up with (and doing!) actions that would get me closer to my dream life. I’m currently running my business from Argentina with confidence– in large part thanks to Ken’s coaching!"
