Meet Your Coach

Jessica Yarbrough

Agency Operations Specialist

CIG, CISR, AFIS, IA-MBA

I don't just teach on operational excellence — I've built it in the real world.

My career grew from CSR to COO in under a decade, and today, I’m the first female owner of an agency founded in 1915. Under my leadership, our firm has been named a Best Employer in North Carolina every year since 2023 and earned the prestigious Best Practices Agency designation from Reagan Consulting in 2025.

Now, I help other agency leaders build the kind of business where technology amplifies people, processes strengthen culture, and growth stops being accidental and becomes inevitable.

ā— Who I Work With

Partners across the agency ecosystem.

Agency Networks

Associations and aggregators work with me to provide support for large scale projects like system conversions and to teach leadership development and change management skills to their members.

Agency Owners &

Operations Leaders

I offer training and coaching for Principals, Owners, Operations Managers, VPs of Operations, and Directors of Operations who are ready to uplevel their skills for greater impact.

Other Industries

The skills I've developed in the insurance industry can be applied nearly anywhere. I coach leaders in all industries on strategies to increase the effectiveness of their operations.

ā— core values

The principles behind the work.

Underlying all my work is a series of core beliefs that guide what I teach:

Be Respectful

All people have inherent value because they are made in the image of God and should be treated as such.

Align Effort and Reward

Hard work with results should produce positive return according to the value created.

Think Ahead

Foresight is essential. Anticipate how today's actions will compound over time in order to make wise decisions.

Always Get Better

There is unlimited opportunity to make improvements everywhere, and we should do what we can to realize that potential.

Remember the Nobility of Work

God's perfect design for humanity — even before sin entered the world — is that we are to work hard to provide for ourselves and others, steward His creation, and produce results.
