Jacqueline V. Twillie, MBA is a three-time bestselling author, leadership development strategist, and founder. For more than a decade she has developed leaders at Fortune 500 organizations including Foot Locker, American Express, and Allstate, and taught more than 400 people to build their first AI agent. She created the L.A.T.T.E. framework, the R4 leadership framework, and the AHA Method, hosts the Forbes-featured Winning Season podcast, and writes the Resilient Leader Insder newsletter. In September 2026, Forbes named her one of the peer leaders closing the $5.5 trillion AI skills gap.

L.A.T.T.E. is Jacqueline V. Twillie’s five-step system for preparing for high-stakes workplace conversations, from her bestseller Don’t Leave Money on the Table. The steps are Look at the details, Anticipate the challenges, Think about your walk-away point, Talk it through, and Evaluate options. The premise is that preparation is most of the negotiation. Before you walk into the room, you set three numbers: your target, your acceptable outcome, and your walk-away point.

AI agents and AI enablement. Her signature session is Build Your First AI Agent, a hands-on hour where the whole room builds a working AI agent with no code. She also speaks on closing the AI skills gap from the inside, on keeping a human in the loop, and on building AI agents with a team on its real work. Her Negotiation AI Agent Lab has every attendee build the same negotiation prep AI agent on her L.A.T.T.E. framework. She speaks to leadership teams, conferences, and cohorts.

Mid-to-large organizations: Fortune 500 companies, global foundations, and established nonprofits. An AI agent enablement session starts with a team and one real workflow. For leadership development and philanthropy strategy, she looks for organizations that already have a giving or leadership function in place and want it to work better.

Both. Corporate clients typically need AI agent enablement, leadership development programs, and partnership frameworks. Foundations and NGOs typically need donor strategy, partnership building, and leadership capacity, and their teams can build AI agents too. She builds every engagement to outlast a single grant cycle or a change in leadership.

All three, depending on what the organization needs. A keynote is the lightest engagement. Jacqueline speaks to your leadership team or conference audience on AI agents and AI enablement, or runs the Negotiation AI Agent Lab as a talk where the whole room builds one. A project is scoped to a specific outcome: an AI agent enablement cohort through BNEDai, where a team builds a working AI agent on a workflow it already runs, a leadership development cohort, a partnership framework, or the design of a giving program. A retainer is for organizations that want ongoing advisory as they keep building. Most first engagements start as projects.

An AI agent enablement engagement starts with one live build session. Leadership programs run as multi-session cohorts, usually three to six months, with follow-on reinforcement. Philanthropy strategy projects run 90 days to six months depending on scope. Retainers are structured quarterly. Jacqueline builds every engagement so the organization can run the work on its own when she steps away.

It depends on the door. For AI agent enablement, the team builds a working AI agent in the first session, on a workflow it already runs. Getting it sharper on real work takes longer, and it improves as the team corrects it. For leadership development and philanthropy strategy, Jacqueline spends the first month learning where the organization stands today, including its leadership gaps, giving structure, and partnerships, and where it needs to be in five years. Then she builds the plan and the order of the first moves. Implementation follows in months two and three. By day 90, the organization has a clear plan and its first results.

You’re ready for an AI agent enablement session if your team has a repeated task it can describe in a sentence, especially if the licenses are already bought and adoption is shallow. You’re ready for leadership development or philanthropy strategy if your organization already has that function and it isn’t performing the way leadership expects, or you’re building one from scratch and want it structured well from the start. If you’re starting with no budget and no organizational buy-in yet, her free Agent Lab sessions, books, and newsletter are the right place to begin. Once you have organizational commitment, reach out to Jacqueline to talk through what you’re building.

Philanthropy lasts when the structure outlives the leader who launched it. Donor pipelines and partnership frameworks have to hold through budget cycles and leadership turnover. Jacqueline built the Decade Test to answer this question. It’s five free questions that show whether a giving strategy will hold over ten years.
