The Word Gourmet

I’m Jackie and I help Spanish-speaking professionals who are preparing for the next phase of their professional development in a global environment.

I created The Word Gourmet because I see many people struggling with their confidence and with doubts about speaking in public with global colleagues and carrying out powerful presentations. I’m also passionate about the English language and how to speak powerfully. I want to share the experience I’ve gained teaching English to people like you for over 25 years; people transforming their lives.

This space offers quick tips and lessons to inspire you. Once you are ready for a coach, you can contact me easily and some private coaching to understand your strengths and overcome you own specific challenges.

My goal is to help you express yourself freely, comfortably, clearly, and more concisely, no matter what your profession.

It’s about gaining the confidence to be able to motivate and inspire others and get your message across to others, clearly.

What you’ll find here:

FREE RESOURCES (videos and podcasts) offering tips and brief lessons to boost your English. (No membership necessary).

TESTIMONIAL

A few months ago, I had to prepare a conference in English on a rather specific and complex subject, so I asked Jackie for help. In personalized ––and entertaining!–– sessions, in a very pleasant environment, she helped me with the translation of my presentation into English, and coached my delivery and pronunciation so I could give a professional performance. It goes without saying that the presentation was a complete success. Thank you Jackie!!!
