Media plays a huge role in most people’s lives on a daily basis. It can influence our thoughts, ideas, purchases, and so much more. For some, where media is an integral part of their business and it’s vital for them to be able to present themselves in the best way possible, hiring a media trainer is essential.
This episode’s guest, Jessica Abo, is a media trainer and storytelling coach. Jessica leverages 20 years spent in the field of journalism to provide valuable insight to a range of clients. Her services include one-on-one training and workshops where she breaks down the dos and donts of public relations. On this episode of Entreprenista, Jessica walks me through her earliest aspirations growing up and how she went about realizing them, her transition from the newsroom to media training, and the experience of starting her own business.
“So I think my Achilles heel is analysis paralysis. I think I am someone who launches very late because I want everything to be right and everything to be perfect. And I've learned that that in some ways is a strength of my business and in other ways is a weakness.” - Jessica Abo
