About

Jacqueline Farrington has over 20 years of experience coaching change leaders and their teams to spark transformation and innovation through communications. Known for her refreshingly direct yet supportive and science-backed approach, Jacqueline works with C-suite leaders as the founder and president of Farrington Partners. She blends her experience in the performing arts, vocal pedagogy, communications, psychology, and organizational and executive coaching to help her clients find unique communication solutions around challenges such as digital transformations, organizational cultural change, the “Great Resignation,” or engaging in conversations on social justice.

Her clients include multinationals such as Amazon and Microsoft, as well as startups and nonprofits. She proudly served for many years as TEDx Seattle’s Senior Speaker Coach, where she sourced, vetted, and prepared speakers for yearly sold-out audiences of 3,000. She was thrilled to see several speakers from that event move on to the global TED stage. In addition to teaching at Yale, she has lectured and taught at the London Business School, Rutgers University, Imperial College, and other institutions.

Jacqueline’s new book, The Non-Obvious Guide to Better Presentations: How to Present Like a Pro (Virtually or in Person) [March 14, 2023 / Ideapress Publishing, Non-Obvious Guides], provides actionable, practical concepts, tips, and tools borrowed from communications science, the performing arts, and neuroscience to improve any speech or presentation. It has won 4 “Best Business Book of 2023” awards, including a prestigious Kirkus "Star" review for literary excellence.

She and her husband are working on their next project: a small organic family farm and farm-to-table events space.
