I am a Professional Certified Coach based in Los Angeles with a track record of valuable outcomes in university, health care, corporate, and small business settings. I specialize in coaching executives and high performers--people who make an impact, regardless of the position they hold. My mission is to advance the human condition through my service, as I help maximize the positive ripple effect that my clients create.
I am also Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW #18631) and Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP No. 46379) with over 27 years of direct service. I counsel people with high stress positions, helping them overcome interpersonal conflict, anxiety, loss of motivation, professional stagnation, and burnout. I hold a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Southern California with a concentration in Industrial Social Work, and received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Anthropology from the University of California, Berkeley.
I am certified in EQi 2.0, EQi 360, and StandOut 2.0 strengths assessment. I use StandOut with nearly every client.
I also have training and years of experience using TalentSmart 360 and Emergenetics 2.0 assessments.

Why work with me, as opposed to other professionals?
First, you would choose me because I am qualified to coach you. Coaching is a relatively unregulated profession, so when you hire a coach, it can be hard to know what you're getting (and if it is actually coaching). With me, you know you are getting a well-educated, professional, highly experienced, formally-trained, and credentialed coach who knows the difference between coaching, counseling/ therapy, mentoring, and consulting (see Coaching Defined).
In addition, you may choose me for my expertise in coaching clients with specific goals (see The Process), challenges (conflict, lack of influence, excessive demands, workplace politics, etc.), settings (universities, medical centers, corporations, small businesses), or professions (physicians, senior managers, entrepreneurs, attorneys, etc.).
Following qualifications and expertise, you might also be looking for a coach whose strengths match your needs.
According to StandOut 2.0, my top strengths roles are 1. Provider 2. Stimulator.
For those not familiar with StandOut, this profile validates the following about me:
According to the Gallup Strengths Finder 2.0, my top five strengths are:
1. Empathy—the ability to sense others’ feelings by imagining being in their lives or situations
2. Maximizer—seeking to transform something strong into something superb
3. Positivity—having enthusiasm that’s contagious, exciting others to action
4. Adaptability—the preference for going with the flow and being in the “now”
5. Strategic—the ability to create alternative ways to proceed and to spot relevant issues
Finally, you would choose me because you felt a comfortable, easy connection with me during our initial phone consultation. In a feedback survey, a large sample of people who know me well described me (in order of most prominent traits) as personable, reliable, trustworthy, caring, energetic, fun, supportive, flexible, calming, and self-assured. Not everyone who crosses my path likes me, but 99% do.

For those not familiar with StandOut, this profile validates the following about me:
- I have a near-eidetic memory for what people tell me. When clients return to coach with me after years of hiatus, they marvel when I recount key insights and people-related details from our last conversation. This ability also helps me connect relevant solutions between clients (confidentially of course), because I remember similar issues and the processes by which people triumph over them.
- People trust me easily, because I am often the least judgmental person they have ever met, and because they know that I'm a bank vault concerning confidentiality.
- I have an innate ability to raise people's energy. I don't plan this; it just happens. In any conversation with me, people often become excited, motivated, hopeful, and active.

"Jason was my mentor coach throughout my ICF coaching training. When I started with him, I was tentative in my coaching, afraid that I'd damage clients through my lack of experience. I didn't trust myself. But Jason changed that. He has the rare ability to deliver constructive feedback so that it builds confidence. After only two sessions with him I gained control, and I dug into coaching with my full passion. Having his expertise to draw on as I developed my coaching competencies sped up my learning curve and gave me courage to follow my intuition as well as my training. I looked forward to every single session with him and the only downside of our relationship was saying goodbye after the fifth session! He set a fantastic example of the kind of coach I aspire to be: direct, warm, expert, and deeply caring about people and the coaching profession."

"I worked with Jason Sackett for 6 months as my mentor coach while I went through my professional coaching training program. Jason was supportive and encouraging every step of the way. He offered insights that have helped me to fine tune and improve my skills as a coach and also to heighten my awareness around what I am doing and why. Starting any new endeavor can be challenged. Jason helped me to believe in myself more and to build my confidence which has helped to make me a better coach. He is very passionate about learning, about growing one’s skills, about ethics, and reaching for high standards of excellence. I highly recommend him as a coach and as a mentor coach."

"I have been astonished at how often I think about my next supervisory session with you. As a coach who has been blessed with clients and a business far beyond my wildest dreams, the one missing piece was someone to process the windy, permutated roads that a rich client base brings, and a way to make sense and process my reactions. Of course, I have colleagues that I trust, who are trained and also certified as coaches, and even therapists and psychologists as confidantes. It’s not the same as having someone in a supervising coach role. My experience with you gives me an experience that is customized uniquely to my needs. And I didn’t know what I needed until we started our work together."
