"Jillian Mele is a proven expert in how to build a value-based plan to enhance your brand and build awareness. As CEO of Rx-360, we engaged with Jillian to not only assess our current brand awareness campaigns but also help guide us into the future. Her ability to listen and make suggestions is second to none. She has made us a better organization, which allows us to serve our industry with a best practice mentality.”

“I didn’t know what I needed to get over the hump, but I knew I needed something. I contacted Jillian, and together we were able to identify tangible areas where I needed to improve, and she had practical solutions for me to implement. Throughout our weeks of training, I identified areas of difficulty, Jillian provided course corrections and evolved with me. First and foremost, she was knowledgeable and professional, and her kind but firm demeanor absolutely worked. She has a gift for coaching professionals in their development. I cannot recommend Jillian strongly enough! I’ve already sent one of my employees to her for training and I’m planning another cycle for myself soon.”

Jillian and Anne will share their expertise on how to tell a story but more importantly, they will share their investigative knowledge.

"Simply put, Jillian helped me get out of my own way! I never felt comfortable giving my "elevator pitch" and always seemed to fumble this seemingly simple exchange. To say the least, talking about myself has never been my strong suit, however, after each session, I would leave with a sense of confidence and determination I haven't felt in a professional capacity in a really long time. My sessions with Jillian were quite therapeutic, as well. Jillian taught me by being prepared, engaging and relatable, then the anxiety of talking about myself quickly melts away, and for that, I am forever grateful!"

I was connected to Jillian through one of my professors, and her guidance has been invaluable. She helped me create a compelling personal bio, enhance my resume, and improve my LinkedIn profile, which are now valuable assets for job applications and networking. Jillian's coaching on storytelling and handling tricky interview questions was crucial for me in securing a competitive full-time job in New York City before I graduated. Her practical advice on networking and professionalism was always clear and helpful. I highly recommend Jillian to anyone looking to enhance their professional skills and achieve their career goals!

"So simple yet so effective. Whether it be through her power of storytelling or adaptability to certain circumstances, Jillian can teach in a way that resonates with your current position and goals. As a young female in finance trying to gain traction in my networking and presentation skills, Jillian’s insights have expedited my learning process with unique advice not taught in university or through other clubs. I had the opportunity to learn from her insights through her communication courses, from which I could apply and grow in my day-to-day life. For example, as someone navigating the obstacles of figuring out how to network with high individuals, she was able to craft different strategies for marketing myself based on the environment, whether it be a dinner party or a formal conference. With her tips on making memorable connections in a short timeframe, I was able to meet and befriend so many outstanding people I would have lacked confidence in approaching before. By designing a layout to engage with these individuals,I formed valuable relationships with esteemed individuals such as Kristen Bitterly Michell, head of Citi Global Wealth or Peter Kaufman, CEO of Glenair and author of Poor Charlie’sAlmanack. As just a freshman at the University of Notre Dame, I’m blessed to have learned these priceless tricks I can take with me throughout my personal and professional journey. All the more, Jillian B. Mele is an absolute ray of sunshine who is so pure and filled with care that her passion effortlessly translates onto the screen and through her teachings! I am beyond grateful for all of her help."

"After just 4 sessions with Jillian, I felt much more prepared for future interviews and public speaking engagements. Jillian helped me in many areas including ways to improve my resume, build my social media brand, and how to build my confidence while speaking. If you are interested in any kind of support/coaching related to communication, interview preparation, social media branding, or resume help, Jillian is undoubtedly a great option to consider. She takes time to get to know her clients, and provides them with customized coaching that will make a lasting impact on their professional endeavors."

"I was fortunate to make the cut for the first-ever roundtable amongst other business owners and Jillian & Anne. The meeting was so engaging and led to some powerful takeaway points. It comes down to capturing all the different points of view and getting out the content that will help drive your business toward more success. Each of us had a different background when we started and within an hour we left as all new friends willing to help one another. Jillian & Anne are invested in helping others and are two of the most positive, fun people I've ever met! Highly recommend this team and this event."

"I had a wonderfully informative and fun meeting with Jillian and Anne in our virtual roundtable. I met several other business owners who like me were looking to find new ways to network, become more creative and share solutions to everyday business challenges. Jillian and Anne brought together likeminded hardworking people who were living their dream and about to embark on their dream. I learned a bit about the music industry, owning a boutique, the chocolate business, and the dream to restore firetrucks to showcase in parades. I think that is such an important point, we all were different, but we shared the same goals, passion, and drive to be the best we can and to prosper in our business. After our roundtable I brought back thoughtful ideas to my marinas and dealerships here in Connecticut. I would encourage anyone to join a roundtable discussion with Jillian and Anne. You will not be disappointed!"

Collapsible text is perfect for longer content like paragraphs and descriptions. It's a great way to give people more information while keeping your layout clean. Link your text to anything, including an external website or a different page. You can set your text box to expand and collapse when people click, so they can read more or less info.
