Fractional Communications Leadership

Senior communications strategy for founders and leadership teams, without the full-time hire.

Your fractional CCO: crisis-trained, 20+ years in, and noticing the language and tone everyone else misses.

WHAT: Fractional communications leadership and executive coaching. I tell you what to say and coach your team to say it at full strength.

WHO: Founders and leadership teams who have outgrown the templated consultant.

WHY: Because the real story is buried, and your messages are getting sent but not heard.

The skills that move a room aren't on your org chart.

Your team can build a messaging framework. They can write on-brand copy, run the content calendar, even draft an inspiring newsletter while hitting every deadline.

What they usually can't do is read what's happening underneath your words — the thing your leadership team feels and hasn't said, the story your organization keeps circling and never quite tells. The invisible thing that people feel and won’t say out loud.

That's not a writing skill. It's discernment, trained and applied — and it decides whether your message lands or just gets ticks a box.

Most communications consultants read your brand guide. I read the room.

I spent 13 years in corporate communications: crisis response at BlackBerry, change management at Navigant and Slalom, and proposals that won millions in new business. I know what a communications strategy looks like when it's built properly. I also know exactly what it costs when it isn't.

Then I spent a decade learning the other half: how people actually find their voice. My training in mind-body work taught me to hear what people hold back.

Most consultants bring you one of those — strategy & empathy. I bring both.

Once you're writing from truth, getting your whole organization to say it the same way stops being a project. It's what happens next.

You've tried …

The framework that looked great on the deck
The committee-approved template
The consultant who took orders + never asked what's actually going on.

You know something more is possible.

Retainer or project-based — built around what you need right now.

Let's talk about what you need

21 years in rooms where the wrong word had real consequences.

For what it's worth — I use AI in my own process, as you probably do, too. What I won't let it do is flatten your voice or replace the read only a human who's genuinely paying attention can give you. That part stays human.

Your voice and your energy are your strategy.

I help you build both — using skills you can't put on a scorecard, but with results you absolutely can.

What we work on:

EXECUTIVE VOICE

Your leadership team's individual presence.

  • Executive voice and thought leadership

  • Speaking and presentation coaching

ORGANIZATIONAL COMMUNICATIONS

Systems that keep your whole organization saying the same thing.

  • Messaging strategy and alignment

  • Internal communications

  • Communications infrastructure, timing, and cadence

HIGH-STAKES MOMENTS

When it has to land right the first time.

  • Launch and campaign messaging

  • Crisis and reputation communications

I've spent 21 years in rooms where the wrong word could mean disaster. And just as long as learning to read the room for what’s really being said between the lines.

I'm the founder of The Intuitive Writing School, a four-time author, and host of the How Women Write podcast.

My training in mind-body work and background in crisis communications sit side by side — one taught me calm confidence under pressure, the other taught me how to sense what's actually going on in a room and what's been left unsaid.

I bring both to this work.

JACQUELINE FISCH

This is for you if —

  • You've hired a conventional communications consultant, and something is still missing

  • Your team communicates inconsistently, internally, externally, or both

  • You're stepping into a bigger leadership moment, and your voice needs to catch up

  • You have a launch, pivot, or rebrand coming, and it needs to land

  • You can sense which parts of your message aren't true anymore, and you're ready to fix that instead of polishing over it again

This is NOT for you if —

  • You need someone to manage your social media calendar

  • You want something that sounds impressive and says nothing

  • You want a voice guide instead of an actual voice

Two ways to work together.

Option 1: Fractional Retainer

A senior communications partner inside your leadership team, every month. We define the scope together: what matters most, what we tackle first, how we work.

The retainer is advisory. I set the strategy and direction and coach your team on the writing. The keyboard stays with your team.

Starting at $12,000/month · 3-month minimum

Option 2: Project

For a specific challenge: a launch, a rebrand, a crisis, a change you need to get right. I diagnose what's actually going on, map the messaging strategy, and coach your team through the writing so it lands. You walk away with the framework and the words in your own hands.

Projects start at $6,000 and scale with scope and timeline.
