She brings her impressive collection of personal experiences, education, and professional knowledge to her coaching practice, designing a robust coaching program called “Empower. Transform. Achieve.” “Growing up, I faced many hardships and insecurities. I didn’t have coaches, mentors, or many supportive people around me that were good role models. I made many mistakes that took many years to correct: financially, emotionally, and in life. When I’m working with clients, I use these experiences to fuel my coaching and empower them to transform the way they see their experiences and situations as opportunities to grow, overcome, and achieve. It is through this that I help my clients create systems for success that are authentic to them so their futures are brighter and more sustainable and they find fulfillment.” About Jeff Forrester, Co-founder | Success Coach Author | Speaker His best moments were always when he saw people achieve more than they thought they could, and in 2020, he was inspired to write his first book, "Unleashed Potential: Simple Steps to Be the Best Version of Yourself." This inspiring read is filled with stories from Jeff's youth and the lessons he wishes he had known back then. He feels so strongly about sharing these lessons with others that he had to put them in a book! As a father, husband, friend, and professional, Jeff brings his wealth of experience to his coaching relationships, helping others unlock their full potential through critical thinking. With Jeff's infectious energy and passion for helping others, you'll be on your way to becoming the best version of yourself in no time! “People can accomplish more when they have people who believe in them and challenge them to go a little further than they think they can.”Where to find more about Hi-Lite Coaching + Consulting:Website: https://www.hilitecoaching.com/ Email: [email protected] Instagram: @hilite.coaching https://www.instagram.com/hilite.coaching/ Facebook: @hilitecoaching https://www.facebook.com/hilitecoaching Google Playstore: Hilite App Apple Store: Hilite App     Episode highlights:[0:00] Intro [2:01] Who is Jessica Villegas?
