#thursdaythoughts With Jill Helmer
Whether she’s in her office, at home or in transit, Jill shares a short 4-minute(ish) video every other Thursday, on topics that include everything from teambuilding to transparency to transitioning into executive leadership (and more).
I cannot recommend Jill Helmer highly enough as a business coach.
“Aside from following the #thursdaythoughts, should you find yourself in a period of change or challenge and in need of getting a fresh perspective, then I cannot recommend Jill Helmer highly enough as a business coach. From a personal perspective, she helped to empower me to embrace change and, most importantly, see it for the opportunity and gift that it was. She enabled me to proceed with total positivity and leave all vestiges of doubt and negativity behind. Definitely a seminal experience!”
