" In 1:1 Coaching Jojo helped me identify my challenges, create a plan & feel prepared to land interviews & land a new job that aligned with what I was looking for! She is amazing! It really helps that she understands the first-gen experience, she can understands the challenges that transcend into the professional world.
Before joining 1:1 Coaching, I was feeling frustrated with the job search process and mostly unprepared, especially in regards to interviews. I felt like I didn't know how to talk about my qualifications. I was worried that the job market was against me and that the typical approach to applying to jobs would not land me a job.
This is my second time working with Jojo and I learned that I really have to work on my thoughts and outlook of myself. I can't show up to an interview or even apply to a job if I don't truly have the confidence that I can do it, even if I don’t check all the boxes in the job description, I need to have the confidence that I can learn if overall the job interests me. I realized that often times I rejected myself from opportunities because I was so scared of the outcome.
Jojo really helped me with my mental outlook on jobs and feeling confident about speaking about my skills and qualifications.She made me feel safe to open up about struggles and feel supported. She also challenged me in all the good ways, even if I might be stubborn at first haha
If you’ve been thinking of joining 1:1 Coaching with Jojo, I highly recommend her! "

" I loved working with Jojo! - I was able to deep dive into what was important for me and have a vision for myself. This vision that I have is both personal and professional. It also includes a vision of about 5 to 10 years.
Before I started working with Jojo, I was lost. Being able to bounce ideas off of her and really be honest and true with myself led to my success. All of this was also possible because Jojo provided a safe environment where I could be vulnerable and honest.
Before joining 1:1 Coaching, I was between staying in my comfort zone or taking a leap of faith and moving in with my fiancé and pushing myself out of my comfort zone.
I was really scared to leave the community that has seen me grown personally and professionally. Even though I knew that I no longer wanted to be in this environment and it was not conducive to my growth, I opted to stay because it was what I knew. It felt more scary to venture out.
Through the 1:1 coaching process & working with Jojo I gained A LOT of results! I learned more about myself personally and professionally.
This helped me see my own value as an employee and as an educator. This also helped solidify my own values that are important and be selfish during the job hunt. I know that I am worthy of being in a safe and healthy work environment. I learned that I bring a lot to the table and I have great skillset. I also solidified my own values that helped me find a community that best aligns to me.
If you are thinking of working with Jojo I would say you are in it for an experience that is going to be so transformational! Lean into the experience and be honest because Jojo is going to support you every step of the way."

" Jojo is an incredible Coach. She was extremely genuine in her interest to help me and she came up with methods that were specifically tailored to what my goals were. She really pushed me to be honest with myself and get to know who I was even though it was very obvious and I just couldn't see it!
I am forever grateful for the time I got to spend with her and all the things I learned. It was a type of mentorship that I know I would not have found anywhere else.
Before we started working together, I was very confused about what path I wanted to take with my life career wise. I was feeling stuck and honestly had a low self esteem in regards to how I felt about my potential and what I had accomplished so far. If you asked me, I had not accomplished much and was just doing okay.
I only hesitated because private coaching was something I had never really heard about before. There was really someone who would help me 1:1 and dedicate themselves to helping me sort out all the things I was confused about and create a plan!? It seemed too good to be true.
However, Jojo proved that exactly what it was!!
The results I gained from 1:1 coaching was how to manage myself better in all aspects of my life.
How to most efficiently manage my mental well-being, my path to achieve my career goals, my finances to live the life I want to live. I just do not feel overwhelmed when thinking about what's next for me anymore, I can calmly sit down and figure out a plan!
I learned so many things about myself during my coaching time. I learned how to be kind to myself and celebrate all my wins, small or big. I learned how to stop being my own worst critic and instead be my number one fan. I learned that I am so much more successful than I would give myself credit for. I just feel so much more powerful and worthy!
If you've been thinking of working with Jojo just DO IT!
Stop questioning it and just go for it. You are going to figure out whatever it is you need assistance with, plus more!
I assure you there is no better coach out there than Jojo! "

"Jojo is a badass coach . period! *mic drop* Jojo is so knowledgeable in setting up the tone with these sessions! She is flexible and super honest in being able to let me sit with question(s) that I might not have an answer to. In other words sitting with being uncomfortable which again was a learning experience and it helped me go beyond my status quo.
At the beginning of our work together - I was just wrapping up grad school and wasn't sure what direction I would be taking as I loved my current role. I had a lot of wonderings of the "right" time to start applying to jobs and my options whether I was looking for something Part Time or full time, something local or out of town. I had a hard time visualizing my goals and framing them. I was jumping from idea to idea unaware of what I was going to do because I loved my then current role and the idea of transitioning to a different role was hard because I was comfortable where I was.
The results I gained in 1:1 Coaching was awareness of my thinking patterns and Negotiating Salary! - I felt like a boss after getting on a call and knowing what to say to negotiate my salary. I also felt like declining an offer brought a lot of worth to the skills set I had to offer because I wasn't selling myself short. I also knew why initially I was having a hard time negotiating- it wasn't within my nature to do such a thing as a woman and first gen. I was able to continue to reflect on my wins and really validate my experience because it wasn't easy, but I did get the support and coaching I needed to continue pushing me out of my comfort zone.
I learned que soy una chingona 😅 no but really! I feel like I was able to gain so much confidence in 1:1 Coaching and I remember asking Jojo what I thought I needed in regards to experience *managing* and she went through my resume and pointed out some ways I was already managing project and people it was a matter of showcasing it (even if it was a short period of time). I had what it took to go into these interviews and be authentic. I wasn't settling with the first offer and I felt empowered by Jojo throughout the process.
Jojo provides the time and space to be vulnerable and dig deep to one's owns values and beliefs. She provides so much validation and reassurance because I felt like there were so many unknowns and Jojo kept it real and was supportive!
Jojo is able to use different ways to help the client understand their thoughts and point of view to allow them to see that Humanistic part of this whole process in navigating - career, life, and education."

" Before I joined 1:1 Coaching with Jojo, I was struggling finalizing my resume and narrowing down what industry I wanted to work for.
Some results from working with Jojo was confidence for my resume and I landed my dream job!
Throughout this process I learned that I think faster than I communicate. I need to slow down and not worry about being perfect rather than being simply understood.
My experience with working with Jojo as my Coach is that she’s easy, flexible, organized, structured. She's easy to talk to, asks thought provoking questions and is confident in leading the way."

" I genuinely enjoyed my time working with Jojo, she was very patient and insightful in her work expertise. She provided great advice and reflective questions that allowed me to gain clarity throughout my process of diving into a new career change.
When I first began coaching my mind was cluttered with so many thoughts that did not allow me to accomplish any goals. I was lost and confused as to which route to take, as I felt the need to multi task and accomplish all my goals at once. I also wanted to pursue a career change, which felt scary since I had no prior experience in this new field.
The most important thing I gained from working with Jojo was confidence, she allowed me to realize all the skills and unique touch I had and that I would be able to contribute to the new career field I wanted to pursue.
A few things I learned were to be patient with myself and to thoroughly reflect on the “why” when I felt the need to make certain changes.
This is one of the best investments I’ve made for myself to confidently pursue a new career role."
