Why clients book Jessica

Four reasons, honestly stated.

01

It's genuinely enjoyable

Jessica brings humor, sass, and a few thoughtfully-chosen four letter words to her talks. Making her content enjoyable is the hill she's dying on. She's a college professor — and no one's attention is harder to keep than a hungover 19-year-old in an 8am lecture.

02

Tools, not a pep talk

She doesn't just give the “rah-rah, you can do it” speech. Her work as a vocal coach means she can hand your audience the exact tools to change their voice — in their head and out of their mouth. And yes, that means actually doing the work.

03

Efficient by design

Jessica is a full-time working mom to two little girls. She knows that if you're going to devote your time to something, it had better be effective and efficient. Change gets broken into manageable, digestible, wine-drinkable increments — roughly ten minutes a day.

04

She meets people where they are

Change is about progress, not perfection. Jessica asks three questions: Where are you now? Where do you want to be? How long do you have to get there? Everything stems from those answers.

“Unless you have been gaslit, it is impossible to comprehend how devastating it is. The level of disempowerment and feeling of helplessness is dreadful. Please keep on helping others to re-discover their voice.” Karen Bond — University of Plymouth
