Relationships Have Always Been the Throughline
Jillian Vorce
CEO, The Jillian Group
I’ve spent the last 25+ years building businesses, advising leaders, and creating communities, all grounded in one belief: relationships are the most valuable currency we have.
My work has taken me across industries and continents, but the common thread is helping people move forward, whether they’re navigating growth, shifting direction, or seeking clarity. I’ve helped raise over $1 million, co-authored a book, built a 40-person consultancy, and founded multiple ventures, including One Handshake and Contigo Press.
What’s remained constant is my belief that one sincere connection can change the course of a life, or a business.
Today, The Jillian Group is the home for that work: a portfolio of ventures, services, and collaborations designed to help people think more clearly, connect more meaningfully, and grow with integrity.
What I Believe
✅ Strategy without integrity is short-lived.
Clarity, integrity, and bold thinking drive better strategy and better business.
✅ Relationships are the real currency.
Human connection is what fuels meaningful change because trust drives growth, collaboration, and sustainable success.
✅ Perspective is power.
When you’re too close to it, you miss things. A fresh, experienced perspective helps you see patterns, uncover opportunities, and think beyond the obvious.
Who I Work With
I work with people who are excellent at what they do and committed to doing it even better.
They’ve built successful businesses, earned a reputation for delivering, and care deeply about the people they serve. But they also know that what got them here may not get them where they’re going next.
They’re asking deeper questions, navigating complex shifts, and are not afraid to challenge their own thinking. That’s where I come in: to help them see the bigger picture, recalibrate their path, and move forward with clarity and intention.
How I Work
Clients and collaborators often say I bring energy, insight, and clarity to whatever’s on the table. I ask the hard questions, help spot patterns and blind spots, and challenge people to think more holistically, creatively, and critically.
Whether I’m riding shotgun as a Strategic Confidant, leading a strategy sprint, or helping a founder build bridges into new markets, I bring my full attention, my global network, and my commitment to meaningful results.

Want to Connect?
If something here resonates or you’re exploring a way we might work together:
It Begins With a Conversation
Let’s discuss what’s going on for you. Tell me about your business. What is your vision? What happens if you do nothing?
How will we measure success?
Do any of these describe you? If so, you’re in good company. My clients come from various industries, yet they all share those things in common.
They’re successful companies with a track record and want to remain relevant and profitable in 2025 and beyond.
