Executive Testimonials
Rohit, Divisional Director
“I had delivered great results as a Divisional Director in a large corporate and had been repeatedly told my performance was very good.
Despite this, there was resistance to my promotion which was frustrating and demotivating. I worked with Jess to overcome this.
He enabled me to take a different approach, resulting in better recognition of my value to the team and business. I was shortly promoted and recommend Jess to anyone looking to gain promotion within their business”
