Marilyn Jess’s Summary

My niche business, which I am now expanding, is giving workshops on improving public speaking skills, and coaching speakers individually. My niche audience has been my peers in dietetics, and can expand to other healthcare professionals. Working in healthcare for over 20 years, plus my ten-plus years in Toastmasters, has given me the unique perspective of recognizing communication challenges that healthcare staff face, and helping them overcome those challenges. Healthcare consumers and staff today need targeted, simple communication--that's what I specialize in coaching people to do.

I have written a speaking course that offers both dietitians and nurses continuing education hours.

As I grow my business I am a transitioning to contract dietitian for the largest privately held online publisher of health and wellness websites in the USA. My role is email private coaching. Online access for managing health and health conditions is expected to grow even more rapidly in the coming years, as both a way to control healthcare costs, and increase access to professionals.
