Jessica Townsend Teague
Professorial Lecturer - Political Leadership (PMGT 206)
Jessica Townsend Teague presents students in the GSPM with an approach to the topic of leadership that is highly interactive - integrating personal awareness, affirmation, accountability and action oriented units of study with real time, systemic impact studies of leadership, on national and international levels.
Ms. Teague's professional life and presidency of Imagi-Nation, LLC, Advancing Personal and Global Potential, blends 25 years of work within the fields of personal and organizational development with institution, civil society and democracy building initiatives, electoral process projects and the design and implementation of leadership education programs. She has conducted stateside and overseas work in these arenas, teaming with education associations, non-governmental organizations and the U.S. Departments of State, Education, Commerce and Defense, the U.S. Agency for International Development and the International Red Cross, by whom she was awarded a National Service Citation. CBS News correspondent, Dan Rather, featured her pioneering volunteer work with adolescents and parents on his "48 Hours", television program.
Ms. Teague participates in the management of bi-partisan advocacy initiatives, identifying and convening stakeholder groups to generate legislative and prospective funding partnership components. Recent work has included leadership roles on the staff of the congressional Commission on the Abraham Lincoln Study Abroad Fellowship Program and with the United States Public Service Academy exploratory committee.
Whether working with the leaders of a highly influential multi-national organization or a high school full of multi-national influences, Ms. Teague has her eye on elements of interdependence and reactivity, coaching individuals toward excellence, through both introspective and system wide appreciative inquiries into what success looks like.
Ms. Teague offers GSPM students one-on-one political leadership coaching so as to enhance their understanding of self and others and their overall functioning in both professional and personal relationship systems.
Ms. Teague received her M.S. in Organization Development from The American University, Washington, D.C., a B.S. in Education, Political Science, History and French from The University of Kansas, Lawrence, and a 2e Degre, Diplome D'Etudes Francaises, L'Universite de Bordeaux III, Bordeaux, France. She holds a certificate from Georgetown University and the Fund for American Studies Institute on Comparative Political and Economic Systems, a program for which she now serves as faculty. She is affiliated with the post graduate studies program in Society's Emotional Process at the Georgetown Family Center.
