About Jackie Simmons
TEDx speaker and author Jackie Simmons, learned the hard way that
what most people call sales doesn’t work for her. As the mother of
a teen suicide attempt survivor, Jackie had to learn how to sell
herself on herself, because it’s hard to be successful when you
feel like you have something to hide. Then Jackie’s now 38-year-old
daughter, delivered a 7-minute talk that launched a mission to end
suicide. Now Jackie teaches how to start conversations that matter
- around success, sales, self-sabotage, and suicide. So you can
speak up, stand out, and make a difference in the world.
