Strength and Spirit: Tinna’s Journey

Strength and Spirit: Tinna’s Journey

Author: Veronica Malolos, CCIM April 25, 2025 Duration: 22:33

In this episode of Women Influencers, I sit down with Tinna Jackson, Executive Coach, Consultant, Author, and Founder of Jackson Consulting Group, whose story is a powerful journey of resilience, self-discovery, and leadership. Born and raised in Washington, DC, Tinna grew up in a close-knit Filipino and African-American family where faith, creativity, and structure were central values. Those early lessons would go on to shape her entire approach to leadership and life.

While Tinna had studied cosmetology and was looking into opening a hair salon, she got a job at a Law Firm with a lobbying practice. It was there where she met a man who convinced her to work with him on Capitol Hill, leading to a 10 year career in the Senate which ended with Tinna as Deputy Chief of Staff. It was there she recognized a critical need for emotional intelligence among leaders — a realization that ultimately led her to found her own executive coaching and consulting firm.

But Tinna’s path wasn't without heartbreak. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she experienced profound personal loss, losing two of her brothers in quick succession. Grieving while running a business forced Tinna to slow down, reexamine her purpose, and lead with even more compassion and intentionality. Through these life-altering experiences, she found her true calling: helping leaders build trust, navigate change, and lead with both head and heart. Tinna’s journey is a testament to the power of saying yes to unexpected opportunities and the strength found in embracing vulnerability. Her story is a reminder that real leadership isn’t just about achievement — it’s about authenticity, emotional resilience, and the courage to keep moving forward, even through grief.

“Self-awareness is an incredible cheat code” - Tinna Jackson
