“Working with Jay as a coach has been remarkable. In a very short amount of time, he has changed the way that I think about business and scaling it. He clearly has lived out many of the things he advises and has found great success; it’s clear he wants his clients to find the same thing.
Jay is encouraging, strategic, a big picture thinker and able to meet you where you are with coaching. One thing I’d say is very cool about Jay is that his coaching is applicable to so many different avenues of business. I have found him to be genuine, supportive of community, giving back and genuinely wanting to help move you forward. If anyone is seeking a business coach in any arena, I truly feel like he could help you, resource you and guide you to higher levels. I highly recommend his services and I’m so glad I got connected with him.

As a coach, J is fantastic. Occasionally, I feel like I haven't completed what I needed to before our meetings, but I despise having to make up excuses. J hears you out and says, "Don't feel bad; I've been there before." Hearing that someone as accomplished as him has been in comparable difficulties and has been able to overcome them is like a weight being lifted off my shoulders. He has a wealth of information and commercial acumen. He gets my vision for my brand and where I'm coming from. I've never had a coach who could actually READ ME! J does this without hesitation but with consideration for your best interests. I appreciate him as a coach because he helps me in getting proper control over my business operations and more. Entrepreneurship is not for the faint of heart; there are many obstacles to overcome, and it helps to have a coach on your side who gets you and can guide you as you develop your concept.

During a 12-week entrepreneurial training program that I was facilitating, I had the pleasure of having Mr. Jamar Washington as a guest speaker. The program participants and I thoroughly enjoyed having him. He was very relatable and passionate about what he shared with us. He shared his story and experience as an entrepreneur. Many of the participants left feeling very encouraged and also wanted to connect with Mr. Washington so that he could coach them on their journey to entrepreneurship. For anyone looking to have someone share their journey, the raw, uncut version that so many people are unaware of, I’d definitely suggest having Jamar. He’s very gifted and great at what he does!
