“I’ve learned that making a ‘living’ is not the same thing as ‘making a life’.”
– Maya Angelou

We all deserve to live a FULFILLING life…

…but fulfillment eludes so many of us.

For many of us, we’ve spent our lives trying to figure out who we want to be.  This journey started early: as young children we told adults what we wanted to be when we grew up.  As teenagers and young adults, we told teachers, counselors, professors, and academic advisors what we wanted to study.  And as we entered the workforce, we evolved to goal-setting: short, mid, and long term.

In reality, there are two questions that you keep answering in some form or another: “Who do you want to be?” and “What will you do for a living?”.

If you are are spending each day chasing and settling for happiness instead of finding fulfillment, then you are leading  a life that is misaligned with your very essence.

You. Are. Stuck.

But there’s good news – you can get unstuck.

And even better news – I can help you.

Focused. Dedication. These two words express JaKela’s approach to career coaching. She thoughtfully listens, actively questions, encourages with purpose, and demands accountability. We have had discussions regarding my personal life, my career and my future, and she offers counsel every step of the way. Honestly, I don’t make any career moves without consulting JaKela first as she has never led me wrong.

Get ready to finally step Into your complete power. It’s hard to know where to begin when talking about the impact that JaKela’s coaching has had on my life. As an accomplished business leader, she has been a remarkable performance and leadership coach, but she also has incredible empathy and has coached and supported me through one of the greatest personal challenges of my life. With JaKela, you will get what I call “compassionate accountability”. She is someone who can see right through those lies you tell yourself and dare to repeat to her! She will hold you to being the highest version of yourself at all times, and she will hold you to your word on those days when you feel like giving less than 100% to the goals you said you wanted to achieve, but you can count on her to always do it with love. If you’re ready to take any area of your life to the next level, JaKela is the must-have asset to get you there. Working with her will be one of the best investments in yourself you’ve ever made.

JaKela has a true gift for professional writing. She was gracious enough to help me update my resume and write a cover letter for my job search. She helped me put together a professional, yet clear reflection, of my work experiences. I am happy to say I got the job I wanted, and it started with catching the employer’s attention with my cover letter and resume. In addition, JaKela also helped my college-aged son with his first resume. He has received a lot of positive feedback so far and will have an impressive resume when he is ready to enter the job market. JaKela exceeded all of my expectations! I would highly recommend her to anyone, from entry-level to highly experienced professionals.

JaKela was instrumental in my last career move. She was eager to help, hyper focused on my desired career path, and knew the right questions to ask. JaKela revamped my resume and explained why she made certain changes based on how things read to interviewers and potential employers. JaKela always asks thought provoking questions and challenges potential decisions to ensure I am staying the course and maintaining the career path I desire. JaKela honestly cares about my success, which is evident in her continual check-ins even three years post career move. She is lovely to work with, fun and comfortable. She is forward thinking in her questions and suggestions so that I continue to strive for and work towards my long-term goals. She is short-term and long-term in thinking. Her experience in various functions (HR, Finance, Sales, etc.) make her a powerful mentor and a valuable asset.

Just wanted to send a quick note of thanks to you JaKela! It had been years since I updated my resume, so to say it needed some work is an understatement. The layout was easy to follow and the verbiage was of the highest quality. She did an awesome job and helped me land my dream job at a wonderful company with great people. I’m a life-long customer. Thanks!

I had been on my job for 14 years when the announcement came in. I was losing my job! I felt so lost wondering what I would do now. My old resume was so ancient, I knew it would not work in the current job market. I spoke with JaKela about my problem, and in no time, she was making notes to the resume, asking questions about roles and functions from my experiences. She told me she would fix the resume. Not I have an updated resume and I was speechless. It was amazing and looked 100% better. I instantly posted it and have interviewed and received multiple job offers. I could not be happier with the resume, cover letter, and notes on interviewing.

I received news that had been laid off. For several weeks, I was receiving no responses from my posted resume and had started to get discouraged and began questioning my professional abilities. I knew I had the experience, but for some reason my resume didn’t reflect it effectively. I finally decided to reach out to JaKela for help, and that was the best professional decision I’ve made in my career. After I posted my new resume from JaKela, I began receiving countless responses from recruiters. Thanks to this resume, I was placed on a career path that was not previously planned, but it was and is the best path I could have taken for my career. I owe that to JaKela’s professional services and guidance.
