The secret to persuasive and powerful messages?

Get REAL.

It’s time to ditch boring business pitches and harness your most impactful tool… REAL, human connection.  Simple messaging. Empathy. Excitement. And when combined with your expertise, UNSTOPPABLE. 

Hello! I'm Jess Whitlock.

I'm an executive communication trainer and marketing/business development pro with 25+ years of experience.

I empower business leaders to discover their authentic voice, amplify it with a powerful message, and use it to make a sincere and extraordinary impact. 

Do any of these sound familiar?

01.

Pitches that fall flat

Have you ever been nervous during an important pitch, and bombed? You’re not alone. There are secrets to show up with confidence and connect so you can stand out from your competition. 

02.

Branding that blends in

No one ever made an impact by blending into the woodwork. Unless they were a termite, but that’s a different story. 

03.

Lack of a strategic vision

Do you want change-makers and forward-thinking clients to be drawn to you? You’ve got to communicate your WHY in a concise, compelling way.  

04.

Losing after the shortlist

There’s too much on the line in a competitive pitch to use a sleepy “about our firm” pitch. How much money have you left on the table with that approach?

How I can help you make more IMPACT:

— 01

Find your swagger by showing the world just how awesome your firm is with a clear branding strategy.

 

You and I will work together to discover the unique traits of your brand, and communicate them in memorable (and fun!) ways. 25+ years of profit-generating and award-winning marketing and sales experience at work. 

— 02

Give your business the winning edge in competitive pitches. You and your team will gain the knowledge and confidence with proven approach to present and win in highly competitive, qualifications-based selection environments.

 

From large-group training to QBS  communication strategy and coaching, I’m here to increase your win rate so you can do more of the work you love.  

— 03

Success is a game you can win, and with the right coach and strategy. 

There’s nothing I love more than helping people level up.

 

So, whether you need a stronger professional presence as a leader, a strategy to increase your team’s sales efforts, or a strategic vision for the future of your business, I’m all in with you!

Make no little plans; they have no power to stir (wo)men's blood.

Thank you SO much for a great first training day. I took many notes and have great applicable takeaways. It was AWESOME. Our team can be hard to crack, and you were able to do so with ease, and I was blown away how on board all the guys were- very impressive. This is going to help us so much.

When there is a big job on the line, there's no one better to have in your corner. Jess helped us clarify our message, gain confidence, and connect. She helped us trust each other in the process. AND, we won the $1.2 billion school bond project. Time to get to work!
