Mar 23, 2022

Learn about the strategies that self-advocacy coach Jessica Wilson uses to sell coaching, talk about her experience and help people become able to speak to their own rights.

On 17 July 2020, Jessica Wilson was diagnosed with stage 3 inflammatory breast cancer. She was age 32 without a family history, nor a breast cancer gene.

"I go into the oncologist's office to make my first appointment only to find that he doesn't have the same drive to keep me healthy the way my doctor does." Jessica remembers. "He showed up to my appointment 40 minutes late -- no explanation, no apology."

"Immediately my brain is thrown into survival mode. If you don't seem to think about whether I'll be alive or not, and my treatment lies with you ... this is when I have to make changes. I began speaking out immediately and letting anyone who would take a listener -- my doctor who recommended me and my breast surgeon anyone else to tell them that this isn't working for me.'"

The physician was constantly pushing for a standard course of treatment. "Maybe my condition isn't in line with the standards" Jessica thought. "Maybe I should think about something more than this particular area."

Then, Jessica switched doctors and hospitals, in order to uncover the medical team that were taking note of her. "I am convinced that were I there for an extended period of time, I might not be alive now. It's not a regret at the least," she says.

The incident brought up a query for Jessica her: What other people are experiencing this?

"Having been through this experience and watching it unfold as I did, I realized how many people accept this poor treatment due to the fact that they don't know the other option or are afraid and don't know how the best way to go about it"

Jessica knew there had to exist other people that were facing similar challenges but they may not have the courage or the knowledge to represent their own interests in the same way as she did.

She wanted to share what she'd gained from her personal experience:

There is a way to stay unwavering when you're refusing to take treatment or a test you don't want to take, even the doctor who you speak to suggests there's nothing else to do.

Talk to your doctor if you require additional time to talk about your concerns or think about a matter.

Do not be scared to ask plenty of questions -- however many you'll need to comprehend the explanations your doctor gives you.

"I was looking around and I recognized that clearly I've had to be a champion to myself." Jessica explains. "When you consider all the people in the world, there's a need to be a voice for yourself wherever you go."

The focus of her idea was the three domains in which she believes self-advocacy has the most effect on the public: employment, medical personal and social relationships.

In the spirit of these goals, Jessica launched her coaching company, Advocacy Alley.

At present, Jessica helps members of the marginalized communities to gain confidence and be advocates on behalf of themselves in all aspects of their lives. She's also often referred to under the title Jess the IE, an "industrial engineer by trade and the master of intuition through the love of her life".

"I oversee finance for an important store for home improvements in addition to involved in this work on my own. Because I'm passionate about one thing and the other has more passion. I am passionate about making people and processes, as well as technologies more efficient. And I'm also passionate in helping folks get the help they need."

Read on to learn the ways Jessica used her passion for making processes better -- and her own website -- to start her coaching business, share her story, and encourage others to stand up for themselves.

"This is my body. This is what I'm willing to take on. What I'm seeking is an opinion coming from a different source. This was the beginning of which I've compiled this idea -- "How do I convey this to the general public?"

Giving away free information is a great way for young entrepreneurs to get started on their businesses.

In order to reach that market, Jessica needed a place for her online download.

"This may be an ideal suit for me. I believe this is something I'm able to grow into."

"I enjoyed the different cost ... It was nice to know that I did not require the highest end of the market to ensure the system suitable to my requirements. I was impressed by the versatility of the program, and it was very friendly to use. I went through the 14-day trial , and then began to realize, "Ooh, this is an entirely unfinished system. There are endless possibilities.'"

"I was driven to offer courses in order to reach the most people that was possible."

The class is intended for people who've recently been diagnosed and need to determine the next stepsbut without making the Google tunnel that reveals the most likely scenarios.

"I was aware that I needed to create a program that would help people be secure in order to not get lost, no matter what the diagnosis can include," Jessica explains. "Sometimes there's nothing that can anchor yourself to, for guidance on your path to ensure that you don't fall into a downward spiral."

"I have decided to make classes available in order to help as many people as that I could. I am able to only manage several people in a single session and can only handle so many aspects.
Through the course, it's something that a huge variety of participants can engage anywhere, no matter I'm ready to do one-on-1 work or not. in reality, get exactly the same impact."

Hospitals are able to sponsor the course up to a predetermined number of patients. They may also contract Jessica for consulting to collaborate with her personally. "That is the way I am able to make the greatest impact."

Setting up an audience "If you're uncomfortable and uncomfortable, you're not advancing."

"While you're still working to grow your email list You can't simply email folks," she says. "I should also remain visible and present on Facebook as well as the other social media platforms."

The process that started her putting herself on social media wasn't a decision that came from the inside.

"Being an artist requires me to stand before the camera, at the center of attention. It's at first a little bit unsettling and uncomfortable. If you're not feeling uncomfortable, you're not saying your body is growing.
So I forced myself to stream live with only one person watching and with only one person in the audience the stream. It wasn't a problem. The stream was more of an exercise for me. If I'm able to accomplish this one time, I can duplicate the exact same task millions of times. This was basically pushing myself to accept in a state of discomfort."

The writer explains how the process of finding ideas for sharing is not difficult. However producing regularly and then posting them on the already busy schedule can be challenging.

"There are a myriad of things I'd like to talk about. I'm not sure I've encountered difficulties in creating information which I'd like to share with people," she shares.

"If you're looking to create a following, they have often visit your site. To overcome that I began to come up with ways of batching the content ... In lieu of getting so long-winded I'll break [a piece of content] in three pieces. This means I'll have 3 of five articles for the week."

"You are able to create your own pictures, or utilize Instagram for Reels and have a laugh. You are also able to do Reels and look professionally ... basically everything to broaden your audience and how they can find you," she recommends.

Jessica's tips for beginners: "Follow your passion, and the money will come."

"Mindset is essential. If you think you'll never be successful, it won't happen. There will be great days where you're full of enthusiasm, however there will be days where you're just thinking "I don't want to.' Both are good."

"Take the day off to completely unrelated to your job and then observe how much better you feel following that," she recommends.

If you're a creative newbie , Jessica encourages you to take things by taking one step at an.

"Don't be concerned about getting your website running smoothly initially. It's only necessary to think about these pages individually for each item. Focus on the first pages you have created. When the product range expands when you expand, and as your business grows it is possible to add more pages."

At present, Jessica offers one-on-one coaching and free tools, as well as an online course for individuals and healthcare providers, and three active social media outlets and is only beginning to establish her online presence.
