Jill Avey is a true gem. I signed up for Jill’s 12-month program with the goal of strengthening my executive presence and understanding my leadership strengths and areas of improvement. Wow - Jill’s coaching program delivered for women leaders who want to rise up and fulfill their career potential! After the 12-month program, I have continued to work with Jill as her calm presence, vast knowledge, background and pure drive to bring thoughtfully-designed content and science-based strategies has helped me professionally and personally. I have grown with the work on building my foundation and digging in to understand my values to exercises that help with working with team members more effectively. Jill takes the time to know and understand her clients and truly cares about your growth. For me the positive intelligence work has resonated the most and I use it daily. I have an understanding of my Saboteurs and my Judges. Recognizing these and working with Jill and the program on ways to switch these to positive results, has been life-changing Every call and meeting with Jill leaves me feeling energized, empowered and ready to do the work!

Jill was my longest running client when I was a freelance copywriter, so I knew she was a talented coach and the real deal. But when we decided to flip roles and I became HER client, I could not have imagined just how significant an impact working with Jill would actually have on my life. For the last 9 months, the transformation I've undergone has been phenomenal and I can absolutely attribute it to Jill's guidance, wisdom and techniques. Before working with Jill I would frequently burn out, make rash decisions fueled by emotion and often self-sabotage myself due to unaddressed core beliefs and low self-esteem. Together we've gone through the confronting and at times painful process of addressing all of these issues head on and learning how to navigate rough seas with a calm demeanor and objectivity. Now, I enjoy the challenges that used to derail me. I thrive in situations that force me to confront my saboteurs and push through the discomfort. I'm learning how to take ownership of my own reactions and how to remain objective in situations that I would previously take personally. My only regret is that I didn't begin working with Jill sooner as I know without doubt that I could have avoided many situations that affected my health and wellbeing, purely because I lacked the tools and self awareness to handle them. Thank you Jill for how you've helped me, you truly are the real deal and I would not be where I am today without you.

Before starting coaching with Jill I was so overwhelmed and frustrated with my career. At the time, I wanted to make a major career change and came to Jill asking for help. Through our coaching sessions I am much happier in my career despite having stayed with the same company. I feel so much more confident at work and have a clear understanding of what I want from my career. Jill helped me truly find myself professionally. From digging into my strengths, weaknesses, personality type and saboteurs I was able to better define what I truly wanted in my career and understand who I am as a professional. Jill helped me define my vital goals which gave me clarity and direction. She also helped give me key skills, like learning to say no and not getting caught in the business trap, that have helped me stay focused on achieving my key career goals. Jill leveraged her own career experiences as well as facts and studies throughout our coaching, which I really appreciated. She develop a personalized coaching package based on my specific needs/wants which was awesome and helped me grow at the rate I needed! I cant recommend her services enough!!
