Our History |
Over the past 18 years I Jamia Howard founder/CEO (the one in the middle of my five kids; oh and that picture is at Safeco field in Seattle, Washington at my son's graduation from the University of Washington - so proud) has worked in a myriad of roles: In the beginning of my journey I worked and went to school as a young woman, as I seasoned my experience in customer service working and mastering all levels of customer experience, I partnered with lots brilliant individuals and I worked as Director of Business relations an embedded role. I had the most distinct honor to sit with people from all walks of life, various ages and stages to learn about their financial journey “where they are at and ultimately where they want to be” hearing and learning about the dreams that so many didn’t believe we’re possible to ascertain, and supported them in mental models that focused on the mind, as well as practical financial tools that helped moved the notch in their lives; whether that was a spending plan, mortgage planning, mortgage loan, legacy planning or life insurance. It was some of the most fulfilling work I’ve ever done, and I met some of the greatest people in my life not only do I believe I helped them but more importantly they transformed me as all experiences should when you're growing.
The second part of my journey, I had the opportunity to work as a consultant, trainer, leader in the field of Culture, Diversity, Inclusion, and Engagement and as Vice President of Business Relations in an embedded role and recently moved on to launch my own firm’s J5K Legacy and J5K Strategic Marketing It’s been phenomenal to see organizations, more importantly people take the power in their hands to leverage difference and turn it into an organizational asset by transforming the culture above and below the ground (a garden reference I’ll share another time) has been rewarding because it teaches us we have the power to change and have what we don’t see in the world and that’s limitless with the power of people. I’ve worked in a myriad of roles, as a consultant, all of them have one thread serving people with integrity, honor, respect and above all genuine love and benevolence for all people and we look forward to serving you in your business. |
