Jill Chiappe, Founder and Executive Coach
Jill Chiappe
Founder
Jill founded Coachability in 2000.
Jill’s specialty is 360-degree reviews for executives. She also trains small executive teams to be high-performing teams. She loves to train teams on key topics such as handling conflicts, increasing production, and streamlining teamwork. Jill’s seminars are often the highest-rated in her client companies. Jill’s most recent project includes a 12-part course for executives on Influencing Skills.
Jill’s passion for executive coaching came out of a combination of her business training and her interest in people. Her educational background at Oxford University, Marshall University, Vanderbilt University, and the University of Tennessee revolved around business and people with degrees in economics and Spanish and a master’s degree in clinical social work. Jill’s desire for continuous improvement led her to commit herself in 2006 to a minimum of 200 hours of continuing education every year, and she has never missed this target since. Her continuing education includes courses on executive efficiency, leadership development, 360 methods, CEO competencies, time management, organizational development, and a host of other topics.
Jill is passionately committed to supporting charities and non-profits and has not only provided pro bono coaching and mentorship to many charity organizations, but she has also been a keynote speaker for multiple non-profit events. Jill made a commitment to give at least 15% of Coachability’s profits to charity every year, and she has often exceeded that target by many percentage points. She also had a banner year in 2008, when 47% of profits went to charity. Jill believes in making a difference in the world and supports those who work hard every day to make it happen.
Coachability is a woman-founded and owned company. We also strive to hire other women in leadership and our team fluctuates between 100% female and 75% female. We support diversity and equality in all aspects of business.
Meet the Team
Tim Chiappe
VP Operations & Executive Coach
Tim Chiappe has been VP of Operations at Coachability since 2008 and has coached leaders alongside Jill since 2011. His work comes down to one idea: people, leaders and companies all get better when they are coachable, and when the systems around them stop getting in the way.
Tim leads three programs built on that idea. The Launch Sequence is his five-step coaching program with a live coach, taking people from burned out and stuck to ready for more, one step at a time. Executive SmackDown, created with Jill, is a direct, no-cushion coaching format for leaders who want it straight. And through Infinity AI, he helps companies find where work gets stuck (handoffs, unclear ownership, manual steps that eat up a leader's week) and fix it with practical AI that gives real hours back.
Clients get leaders who face problems instead of avoiding them, and companies that run stronger, faster and more profitably, with less time on busywork and more time on the decisions that matter.
When hurricanes hit, Tim still works as a catastrophe adjuster, helping families and businesses rebuild after disasters.
