  • Working with Dr. Houston was fantastic! I felt that she understood the need and nature of our event straight from our first contact, and had a presentation that was nearly custom tailored to our topic on-hand! During the webinar Dr. Houston was relatable, funny, interactive and above-all -- human. Her GROWTH framework was easy to understand, digestible, and empowering. Our team members actively participated in her content, and the zoom chat was on FIRE with the responses coming in! I am really excited to see how our team commits and achieve their goals after her webinar. 10/10 highly recommend!

  • We hosted Dr. Jessica for a one hour workshop on 'Choosing Happiness and Developing Positive Habits.' We spoke to several people as potential speakers and settled on Dr. Jessica because of her joyful presence. The workshop was very helpful and right on topic... exactly what we asked for. Dr. Jessica was professional, submitting a detailed outline prior to the workshop, sensitive to the many cultures represented at our company and even encouraged participation from some of our most reticent team members! Since the workshop, I have received lots of positive feedback from attendees. We'd definitely host Dr. Jessica again!

  • Jessica gave an insightful, informative talk about growth and how to move forward. I enjoyed this talk because she reminded me of all the things I needed to hear. Affirmations, self-care, bettering yourself for you and those around you. I look forward to another talk with Jessica!

  • We were privileged to host Dr. Houston for our 2024 Administrative Professionals' Day event. She provided us with a spectacular keynote address and a workshop that was just as awe-inspiring. Dr. Houston was able to quickly connect with the audience, engage them, and keep them engaged. Additionally, she was a joy to work with!
