I was promoted at work to a position that required; presentations, Meetings, speeches, and much much more .... My job was on the line when I informed them of my inability to perform those task. I could not put two sentences together when I had to speak in front of my colleagues and superiors. Heart palpitations, voice cracking, anxiety, fear, sweats, are all the symptoms I had to deal with daily. I found any way possible to avoid these meetings until I couldn't anymore, and thats when I reached out to Jonathon and his team. I felt as if No One could help me with this dilemma I was dealing with, I had tried everything; YouTube, books, practicing in front of the mirror and much more. I walked into our first session desperate and in dire need of help. I did everything Jonathon asked of me, I took notes, I listened, I applied. As a result each and everyone of those symptoms has decreased significantly, significantly, which allowed me to do everything I wasn't able to do before. I now speak up, do presentations, I even motivate at times. He was able to teach me how to understand what I was going through, he showed me how to channel those emotions and more importantly his KEY techniques. He's gonna to throw you in the water when you don't really know how to swim, but he's gonna be right there to lend a hand when you need it. If you're dealing with some of the problems I had and are looking for a solution, I highly highly recommend reaching out to Jonathan's Team. Everyone on his staff is amazing. From the first phone call to the minute you enter the building you get the feeling that everyone there wants to help you. When I overcame my shortcoming I felt as if this enormous weight was lifted off my back. Please please do your future self a favor and reach out if this is something you're going through.
