Working with Coach Jason, I can say, was one of my best decisions I've made this year.
I still wouldn't believe how I restored my relationship with my brother. It was through my coaching session with Coach Jason that I started to take that seriously. And it was just a piece of the cake! He helped me holistically in finding clarity and direction as I move ahead in life. As a coach, he really connects from the heart. Our coaching relationship was never just a business. Over the course of our coaching sessions, he became a companion, a comrade, and a family. And until now, I believe that relationship did not change. That's how he made a lasting impact on me. In terms of his competitiveness, I should say he is meant for coaching people. His coaching skills are ripe enough to stretch me and drive me to do immediate actions. Working with Coach Jason, I can say, was one of my best decisions I've made this year.
