Minter Dialogue with Jackie Acho
Jackie Acho is President of The Acho Group, a strategy and leadership consulting firm, she founded in 2005. With a PhD from MIT, she has worked for technology, industrial, academic, nonprofit, and economic development clients with particular focus on growth, innovation, strategy, and leadership development. She’s also the author the “The Currency of Empathy, The Secret to Thriving in Business and Life,” that came out in Feb 2020. Her current work includes empathy-centered cultural transformation with the Cleveland Police. In this conversation, we discuss her inspiring personal journey, dealing with cancer, why she moved to Istanbul, her work on empathy, about leadership, sexy leaders, work life balance and much more.
