Jackie Insinger is a globally recognized leadership strategist, bestselling author, and sought-after keynote speaker who has spent her career transforming how leaders create impact. With a psychology degree from Duke University, a master’s from Harvard, and a certification in Neuroscience for Business from MIT, she bridges the gap between cutting-edge research and real-world leadership—helping top executives, Fortune 500 companies, and elite teams build high-performing, trust-driven cultures.

Her Spark Brilliance framework has revolutionized leadership, proving that leveraging human connection isn’t just a “nice-to-have”—it’s a measurable driver of productivity, engagement, and performance. Jackie has worked with organizations around the world to help leaders unlock the full potential of their teams, guiding them to lead with more confidence, clarity, and impact—especially in times of disruption and transformation.

Her first book, Spark Brilliance, became a bestseller in eight business categories, sparking a global movement in corporate leadership by proving that soft skills drive hard results. As organizations embraced this framework, the demand for its application grew beyond boardrooms and executive teams.

Then, an unexpected yet game-changing opportunity emerged.

When innovative school founder Monica White introduced Spark Brilliance to her educators, the results were extraordinary: teachers felt re-energized, student engagement skyrocketed, and academic outcomes improved—all while reducing burnout. Schools reported measurable shifts in trust, connection, and collaboration, proving that the same leadership principles that drive high-performing teams can create extraordinary learning environments.

That’s when Jackie and Monica knew: this isn’t just a leadership framework—it’s a catalyst for change in education.

Now, they have redesigned and tested the framework for education and are bringing this proven methodology to teachers everywhere with Spark Brilliance for Educators (Spark Universe Media). This book isn’t just theory—it’s a blueprint for transforming classrooms into thriving, engaged communities where both educators and students excel.

Jackie’s work has been featured in Forbes, Inc. Magazine, Entrepreneur, Fast Company, CEO World Magazine, HR.com, and other top business and leadership publications. She is a trusted advisor to high-level executives and organizations—including Intuit, Nestlé, Crocs, and other Fortune 500 companies—a catalyst for transformation, and a driving force behind a leadership philosophy that empowers people to rise—whether in boardrooms or classrooms.
