About Lori Jacobwith
You may have noticed the definition of the word “with” here on my web site. My ancestors were given the name Jacobwith when they arrived at Ellis Island, and I have come to see the value of my unique name and what it says about me and who I am for you.
Our work together will help you connect WITH the core of your organization’s mission. New ideas can bring powerful transformations, and I pledge to bring you new ideas. Connections come through shared stories, and I will help you share those stories with authenticity and clarity. I am committed to working with you to ensure your success. Together we can make a difference.
So what’s in a name? A lot, as it turns out.
“A good coach has you show up in the best way, in the best frame of mind, and success flows from there.”

If you ask the organizations and individuals that Lori Jacobwith has worked with in her more than twenty years of professional training, fundraising and coaching experience, you’ll find an almost universal belief in her passion and her message.
“I recognize the possibilities for the future in everyone,” Lori explained. “I help you see the path to success, tap into what really motivates you and what fears prevent you from accomplishing your goals.”
From there, Lori inspires her clients to overcome the fears around time and money and coaches how to succinctly share their message and mission.
“I understand the linear as well as relate and connect as a visionary,” Lori says. “My work instills an openness to be flexible, to welcome and encourage ideas outside the box.”
That mindset has helped an impressive roster of organizations, political campaigns and individuals. Lori’s unique approach to coaching and training is influenced by The Soul of Money by Lynne Twist.
“Redirecting the flow of money is a basic tenet that grows from the belief that we have sufficiency, not scarcity in our lives,” Lori explains. “That understanding, as well as being willing to break away from doing the same thing over and over expecting different results, creates success.”
Lori stresses that her coaching and training are important tools, but the end result is up to you. “I supply the framework, strategies, ideas and support, but you’re the one who is going to do the work,” she says. “You must and will do it on your own. That’s how change happens.”
