Where coaching helps

Questions worth talking through with a real person

Everyone's situation is a little different. Coaching tends to help career changers heading into tech sales, reps aiming for their next level, and anyone preparing to interview or negotiate an offer. These are the questions people most often want help thinking through.

Where do I actually start?
Your starting point depends on your background, your strengths, and your timeline.
How do I move on from where I am now?
The next step looks different for a teacher, a veteran, a retail manager, and a rep who wants a bigger seat. You need the one built for you.
How do I actually interview?
Telling your story clearly, connecting it to the role, and asking questions that make them lean in.
How do I network without it feeling fake?
Starting real conversations, earning trust, and building relationships that outlast one job search.
What about me needs to change?
Sometimes the most useful answer is the one nobody has been willing to say to your face.

How Jermell coaches

Built around you, not a script

The same approach doesn't work for everyone, so the guidance needs to fit you and give you something useful to put into practice. Sometimes that means working through a specific challenge. Other times it means seeing a strength you already have but haven't fully used.

“Selling starts with understanding people, including yourself.”

1

He gets to know you first

What are you working toward? What comes naturally? Where do you get stuck? Your personality, experience, and goals shape the work.

2

He asks and he challenges

Expect real questions, assumptions pushed on, and honest feedback. Not a script that was written for someone else.

3

Feedback tailored to your situation

Jermell listens first, then gives feedback shaped around you, drawing on conversations that opened doors, deals that took patience, and mistakes that changed how he approaches people.

How it works

A simple way to start

Work toward your next move

From someone who's been coached by Jermell

A note from Juston

“You seem like a really smart, educated dude. Whatever this lack of confidence thing you're facing, you need to figure that out and get rid of it.”

A line from Jermell that hit me like a pair of brass knuckles

I came from nonprofit leadership, where I was typically the most honored person in the room. Then I entered the marketplace full time and met someone who told me what he observed about me and questioned my motives. It was shocking, humbling, and sobering.

Jermell moved me to think clearly about where I actually was: limited maturity and real personal doubt. He made me believe I was an Account Executive and that I deserved a spot on the team. He also pushed me toward a better temperament and presence for my wife and children.

Did I land a higher paying job after Jermell invested in me? Yes. Did the way I interview change? Yes. Did I learn valuable details about selling and negotiating? Absolutely. But beyond all of that, the way I saw myself shifted. I genuinely believed something different about who I was, and that produced qualities my family and the marketplace could appreciate.

Needless to say, I think differently now.

That's my experience, and it's mine alone. Coaching can't promise a job, a raise, or an offer. Your effort, your background, and the market all matter too.

In his own words

Real texts from Jermell while he was coaching me.

Text message from Jermell: If you continue to get in your own way, you will remain in the same spot because of your actions. Juston replies that the conversation has much value and that he wants to change from getting in his own way.
On getting out of your own way
Text messages from Jermell: You have nothing to lose. The job market is super competitive right now which is why it's important to really be razor sharp.
On being sharp when the market is tough
A text conversation with Jermell with most messages blurred for privacy. The visible message reads: Don't let someone else determine what your value is. That is totally up to you and within your control.
On knowing your value“Don't let someone else determine what your value is. That is totally up to you and within your control.”
