Founder | CEO | HR Educator | Compliance with a Cause

Jacquelyn is the powerhouse behind Train Me Today. With over 40 years of hands-on experience in Human Resources, she has worked in industries as diverse as manufacturing, retail, education, and hospitality.  Jacquelyn is known throughout California for her ability to simplify complex laws, deliver engaging HR certification prep, and transform workplace training into meaningful conversations. She’s taught thousands of HR professionals and managers to lead with knowledge, confidence, and heart.

She walks with a cane but runs a company. She’s built a business that empowers others. And she’s not done yet. 

Fun Fact:
Jacquelyn’s idea of “work-life balance” includes writing HR policies and pruning her fig trees — often on the same day.

Founder & President | Operational Backbone | Proud Tractor Guy

Jeffrey Kinworthy co-founded HR Coach LLC, DBA Train Me Today, in 2003, bringing dedication, reliability, and a strong work ethic shaped by his 40-year career as a line worker with Southern California Edison.

After retirement, Jeff didn’t slow down — he shifted gears and became the operational heartbeat of the company. From printing and warehousing to packaging and distributing HR certification materials across California, Jeff has quietly ensured that every student received what they needed, when they needed it.

Behind the scenes, his commitment to excellence helped build Train Me Today into one of the most trusted HR training schools in the state. He’s the reason the wheels never stop turning (sometimes quite literally — especially when he’s on his tractor).
