kind words from clients
Working with Melinda Jackson during our VIP Day was an absolute game-changer for my media presence. From the start, Melinda asked thoughtful, specific questions that helped uncover the most powerful aspects of my personal brand—and how to position myself in a way that truly stands out in the media space.
She didn’t just give me vague advice or generic strategies. Instead, she delivered a comprehensive 90-Day Roadmap, a crystal-clear Brand Messaging Guide, a Thought Leader Playbook filled with plug-and-play prompts for social media and LinkedIn, and a robust talking point bank tailored to the TV segments, speaking gigs, and podcast interviews I aim to secure.
But what truly sets Melinda apart is who she is: real, grounded, generous, and 100% a girl’s girl.

After my session with Valonda, I felt more confident in my delivery of the information that I wanted to convey to the audience. She was very specific with her guidance and took note of every detail, and gave suggestions that made a tremendous difference to my final presentation.
My biggest takeaway was having Valonda as my consultant transformed my presentation from good to excellent. Her attention to details, including suggestions on what to wear, made all the difference.
I would strongly recommend any professional who desires to improve their presentation skills to reach out to Valonda Calloway to assist with improving the appearance of their presentation in addition to the delivery of their presentation. Her assistance was invaluable. I will be consulting her again in the future. Thanks, Valonda!

Thanks to my sessions with Rachel, I have such a better grasp of how to pitch stories and actually get them published! She taught me so many useful tools like how to come up with the best story ideas, how to find editors' contact info, how to write effective pitches, and so much more.
I was so overwhelmed by the pitching process before we met but now I genuinely feel like I understand how it works and am way less scared. Rachel took the time to go through my pitch line by line to ensure it was as strong as possible, and she even helped me locate specific names and emails of editors that I'm going to pitch to soon - seriously above and beyond!
I'm so grateful for her expertise and guidance, and I'm actually excited now to get my stories out there in the world.
