Jamilee jumped right into the fire, of how she came to this point in her life. With a near death experience, Jamilee had to jump start her life back to where she wanted it to be. While we the club listened to her talk, you could hear her say the same thing over and over in different ways.
Jamilee talked about who should attend this type of course/ training. Board of directors , customer service teams, couples, kids, it can basically be anybody. From listening to everyone after the program, it sounded like everyone liked this program and found it could be useful.
