Dr. Jaki Taggart has served as Professor of Business at Pikes Peak State College for
over 20 years.
She enjoys teaching business, ethics, management, leadership, communicating, presentation
skills, diversity, team building, entrepreneurship, and business etiquette.
As a doctoral candidate, Dr. Taggart conducted a three-year, qualitative research
project in which she studied the traits and characteristics of successful women in
the workplace. The study specifically sought to identify factors that enabled women
to succeed in their employment in spite of the obstacles and inenquities they all
encountered. The study identified major themes that were consistent in the life experiences
of the sample population. Dr. Taggarts's research provided a tool to empower women,
particularly minority women to enter the world of business with self-confidence, a
strong will, and a drive to compete and excel. She has been a strong advocate of women
since this time.
