biography
Talia Jacqueline was just 22 years old when she learned the most valuable lesson in business: Your value cannot be realized until you learn how to communicate it. A year earlier, at the age of 21, Talia started her own trauma therapy practice. It wasn't gaining much traction. Just calling herself a "personal coach" or "consultant" wasn't going anywhere.
But after studying communication and business psychology, Talia realized that titles and labels put you into a box. To truly stand out, your message must be communicated with the right emotion, tonality and strategy.
That's how Visceral Communication was born.
Talia dived deep into the intimate connection between psychology and communication, and she has spent the last several years cementing those bonds after establishing Visceral in 2016. Working with business leaders, entrepreneurs and their most valuable team members, Talia has helped companies generate the recognition, traction and growth that they deserve.
Talia currently lives in Austin, Texas, with her partner Max and their cat, Beau. She regularly travels to Los Angeles, where she was born and raised, and to countries around the world to visit friends and family. Outside of her business ventures, you can find Talia hiking around the flat landscape of Austin -- AKA walking -- as well as painting, dancing and convincing friends to start their own businesses.
Talia is also the CIO of the BEEC, a new venture launching in 2023. The BEEC, Business Ethics and Education Commission, aims to teach companies a universal set of ethics and values that can be applied to every part of their organization. We educate, promote and leverage companies that adhere to higher standards with our BEEC seal.

testimonials
"Visceral and Talia have been an incredible partner for us as we’ve navigated many twists and turns as an organization. In my role as CEO, Talia has been an amazing resource as an independent sounding board on a variety of issues. She’s pushed me outside of my comfort zone to make me better as a leader, reinforced initiatives when I was on the right path and helped me navigate challenging conversations with others in a thoughtful and empathetic way. Talia has a skill of going “big picture” to see the forest through the trees while also providing specific and actionable recommendations that can be implemented in tangible ways. Talia’s the best!"

"To say Talia and Visceral changed my life would not be an exaggeration! I began working with Talia to focus on my business and implement a growth strategy at my new job. I soon learned that working with Talia was not just for my business but for my family and for my future self. She helped me to see the world in a way I had never thought about before.
Talia gave me the confidence to take a leap of faith. She empowered me to follow my dream and start my own company set in the values and systems we had worked on together. From that point, my future was finally in my own hands and with Talia to guide me, anything was possible. My relationships have blossomed, my business is thriving and the future is bright. One thing I know for sure is that without Talia, none of this would have taken place and the value of our work together is priceless…."
