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, including 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.
Jill was trained under the mentorship of executive coach Kate Ludeman, PhD. Kate is famous for her work with Michael Dell and other noteworthy executives. Jill assisted Kate with research on her book entitled “Alpha Male Syndrome”. “Alpha Male Syndrome” became a popular HBR article series as well.

Tim Chiappe
SVP, Marketing and Client Services

Tim joined Coachability in 2008 after a long career as a top sales executive. Tim and his sales team won seven straight years of sales awards in his prior business, a major franchise company. Tim now consults with Sales and Marketing executives as well as teaching the Expert-to-Team Leader training modules. The Expert-to-Team Leader training modules focus on turning someone who is an expert in his field (such as engineering) into a manager of others. Many very bright people have many skills but management is not one of them. Tim turns these experts to expert managers of people as well.
Tim’s passion for business began over 20 years ago when he started his first business. It then turned into a raging fire after his attendance at a seminar by famous author Steven Little. The topic was business growth and Tim knew that his own experience at growing businesses could help others to achieve the same success he had achieved. He decided right then and there to become a consultant and share his wisdom and his secrets for how to create a successful business.
Tim’s clients often email us with with subject lines like “Tim is awesome!” and include stories of how Tim’s zen business-isms have helped them to revitalize areas of the business in a minimal amount of time. Tim has an uncanny ability to spot the source of problems quickly, and literally make problems vanish. Probably Tim’s greatest strength is his laser-precise communication. One client was amazed to finish his program in three months when we estimated six months. Tim feels the need for speed!
