“Working with Jill has been a game changer in my business. I have learned tactical skills, I’ve refined my WHY and I have a greater sense of confidence in all that I am offering. She provided an unwavering support system through weekly one-on-one strategy sessions. She couldn’t have made it easier for me to focus on and tackle the big stuff. While working with Jill, I increased my offerings, as well as, my revenue, and I now have a clearer vision of my direction. My only regret is that I didn’t work with her sooner!” – Emily Taylor, Founder of FlowWear
