Living a Life of And with Jackie Hermes

Scared Confident

In this episode, Jackie Hermes, the CEO of Accelity, joins Tiffany to discuss how they're growing and evolving both at work and at home. Jackie shares a big step she's taken recently—promoting a long-time team member to shareholder and partner, marking a transformative moment in her company's leadership. She and Tiffany really dig into why trust is so crucial when you're moving team members into big roles and how it's changed the way they lead.

Jackie also gets real about being a working mom and the wonderful, diverse family she’s created with her kids, both biological and adopted. She lets us in on what parenting looks like for her day-to-day and the deep impact adoption has had on her family. They don't shy away from the tough topics either, like dealing with uncertainty, the need to take a break for personal growth, and how they manage to keep a balance between their personal well-being and their professional lives.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone drawn to stories of leadership, family, and the courage to shape a fulfilling destiny while maintaining a supportive home and work environment.
