Testimonials

Jess and I worked together when I was doing a lot of thinking about my next career step. I was struggling to map out the various options open to me, and Jess was fantastic at helping me crystallise those options clearly, and to explore those about which I was less well informed.

She always knew a handy YouTube video to challenge me or could signpost me to support and guidance on some of the practicalities around thinking through setting up a business. She made scary opportunities seem more manageable and her coaching helped me choose the right path, contributing to my securing a fantastic new role. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you Jess!
