Testimony

Kudos to a wonderful presentation

I’m really glad for the opportunity to catch this speaker in Phoenix recently. She was engaging, funny and right on point while reaching her target audience at the “Each One, Reach One” conference sponsored by The Message Church. She connected with business owners, caregivers, homeless women, women in transition, domestic violence survivors, all at the same time. She knew her target audience and left us with information and tools to cope through our struggles. Kudos to a wonderful presentation, Ola Jackson!

I decided 2018 was my year to launch out on my own and utilize my gifts and talents within the training industry. The challenge was I was not sure where to begin. I had an idea but it needed some structure and I needed encouragement and guidance that is where Ola Jackson stepped in provided me with coaching services. Ola provided coaching services that incorporated brand development with my final product being my having a business model that provided structure as well as room for growth. Ola was flexible, knowledgeable, encouraging and worth the investment for myself and my business Safe Space Communications.
