    2024/06/10
    Jackie Brewton never planned to be a speaker and an author. While managing a successful career in corporate America, Jackie volunteered her time mentoring younger ladies. It was in this role as a mentor that she kept hearing over and over about the regrets these younger ladies had because of poor relationship choices they had made. Jackie felt so burdened by this that 16 years ago she walked away from her successful corporate career to dedicate her life to helping teens make good choices. She is the Founder and CEO of MotivationN3D, a motivational speaking company. In 2016, Jackie published a book for teen girls titled, 7 Secrets Guys Will Never Tell You. She currently resides in the metro Atlanta area. Recently Jackie was the keynote speaker at a daddy-daughter dance and was kind enough to talk about her keynote address in this interview. You can learn more about her and download her free e-book, “7 Things Every Parent of a Teen Needs to Know Before Having the Talk” on her website, www.jackiebrewton.com. Summary Jackie Bruton, founder and CEO of Motivation in 3D, shares her journey of leaving a successful career to help teens make good choices. She emphasizes the importance of validation, provision, protection, and guidance in a father-daughter relationship. Validation involves telling daughters they are loved and valued for who they are, not just for their appearance. Provision goes beyond financial support and includes being a role model and investing in experiences. Protection involves shielding daughters from negative influences in the media and teaching them to set boundaries. Guidance includes teaching self-control and helping daughters develop a sense of destiny and potential.
