You carry all the responsibility. You have none of the authority.
You're expected to drive sustainability progress across procurement, operations, packaging, and supply chain. But you don't control the people who need to act. You don't control the budget. And you're running out of ways to keep pushing.
You know what needs to happen. The system makes it nearly impossible.
You're not failing. The system wasn't built for the change you're leading.
• Overwhelmed with expectations and complexity.
• Burned out proving value alone.
• Lacking influence to move the people who need to act.
• Stuck collecting data instead of driving change.
• Struggling to keep decision makers engaged.
• Disillusioned about your career choice.
• Know you could do better but aren't sure how to get there.
TRANSFORMATION
Where you are now
• More confidence and credibility backed by effective strategy.
• Able to use influence and group dynamics to move decisions forward.
• Clear action plan and framework to follow.
• Your leadership abilities become visible and recognized.
• You bring value that people actually want.
• Progress happens without burning out.
My commitment:
I'm a thought partner who helps you solve real problems.

This is strategic problem-solving grounded in evidence.
HOW I WORK
We work together on:
Problem-solving specific sustainability challenges with an understanding of the real barriers
Building a logic model to test expected processes, barriers, and outcomes, and strengthen decision-making through clearer causal pathways
Using impact mapping and behavioral science to increase your influence, align stakeholders, and drive meaningful, lasting change
Creating practical strategies to have more impact and be more effective in leading change
You get
→ A solutions partner who helps you move forward
→ Science-backed approaches to the problems you're facing right now
→ Meeting-by-meeting support to build your influence and test your strategy
→ Practical tools you can use immediately in your next conversation
I'm a behavioral scientist. Top 1% most cited researcher in my field. TEDx speaker. Harvard Business Review contributor.
I've spent 20+ years studying how change actually happens in complex systems. How it actually works in the real world.
I focus on progress through evidence-based approaches. I work with sustainability leaders who are tired of awareness campaigns that go nowhere, strategies that die in implementation, and carrying the weight of transformation alone.
If you're ready to lead with influence, let's talk.
ABOUT DR. JACQUELINE KERR
Progress Over Pep Talks
I help you change the situation you're in.
We work on influence. We work on strategy. We design systems that make progress easier.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
Grounded in Science
Every approach we use comes from behavioral science, implementation science, and group dynamics research. Evidence-based methods for real-world challenges.
Focused on Your Real Challenges
We work on getting procurement, operations, suppliers, and leadership aligned. The political reality of leading change without authority.
HOW IT WORKS
We Start With Your Current Challenge
What's blocking progress right now? What decision needs to move? What stakeholder is resistant? We focus on the immediate barriers you're facing.
Using implementation science, we identify what's actually stopping progress. What the system is revealing as the problem.
We Map the Real Barriers
We Build Your Influence Strategy
You get practical approaches for your next meeting, your next conversation, your next proposal. Scripts. Frameworks. Questions to ask. Choices to offer.
After you try the approach, we debrief. What worked? What didn't? What needs adjusting? Real-time problem-solving for real-world challenges.
We Test and Refine
We work on amplifying what is working, recognizing hidden leaders who are contributing, and adding human focused messaging to the data that is abstract and ignored.
We Show Proof

COMMON QUESTIONS
-
Most executive coaching focuses on leadership presence, managing up, or career transitions. This coaching focuses specifically on overcoming barriers to sustainability implementation using behavioral science and influence strategies.
-
No. Real change requires ongoing partnership. The minimum commitment is 3 months because that's how long it takes to test approaches, see what works, and adjust strategy.
-
Many clients use professional development budgets or pay personally. If budget is the only barrier, let's talk about what might be possible.
-
We'll know within the first 4-6 weeks if the approach is helping. If you're seeing value, we continue. If something needs adjusting, we fix it. As a scientist I am also evaluating my own performance and I'm focused on making sure this works for you.
FINAL THOUGHT
You got into sustainability to drive real change.
But you've learned that good intentions, solid strategies, and hard work aren't enough when you lack authority.
Influence is the missing piece.
Practical, science-backed influence that moves people, decisions, and systems.
That's what we build together.
