Jayne Nucete

Senior Consultant

Jayne (Jaynie) Nucete is a Senior Consultant with the Bridgeway Group. Jayne is a facilitator, trainer, and conflict resolution practitioner based in Boston, Massachusetts. She has been facilitating interpersonal skills workshops for 20+ years, and she is particularly focused on creating conversations that generate action for systemic change. Jayne’s work addresses these two big questions:

(1) How do we make the changes that are needed now — individually, as teams, in our organizations and communities, and in our world? (2) How can we create the world we want while also making space for those who see things differently than we do?

Through workshops, coaching, and consultation, she

  • Helps clients and community members develop mindsets, skills, and practices they need to engage their most challenging conversations, disagreements, and negotiations with confidence.
  • Facilitates leadership culture development and organizational change through conversations that enable deeper insight and connection as teams articulate and practice how they will work together to achieve their goals.
  • Advises organizations seeking to amplify racial equity and integrate an understanding of systemic oppression and liberation into their work.

For the private sector, Jayne has delivered training in negotiation, difficult conversations, and leadership for Fortune 500 companies in consumer packaged goods, food & beverages, banking, energy, and pharmaceuticals. In the public sector, she has designed and delivered training in collaborative negotiation and consensus building for federal managers, non-profit leaders, congressional staff, civil society leaders, youth-at-risk, the World Bank Group, and the World Health Organization. She also supports organizations in the early stages of implementing their strategy for equity, inclusion, and diversity.

Previously, Jayne was an instructor and program manager for Outward Bound. She is an adept outdoorswoman who has spent 700+ days leading wilderness expeditions through challenging terrain – and often more challenging group dynamics – in the U.S. and Mexico.

Jayne earned her MA in International Relations, Conflict Management, and Economics from the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) in Bologna, Italy, and Washington, DC. She holds a BSW in Social Work and a BA in Spanish from the University of Missouri. Jayne speaks English (native) and Spanish (fluent).
