Here is a look at a day in the life of Jill:

6 AM: Wake up at 5:45. At 6:15, I go for my running and training.

7 AM: Take a shower, hug and play with my husband Nikolas and my daughter Joy, and we have breakfast. We get ready to leave home.

8 – 10 AM: We drop Joy off to kindergarten.

I write content, my new book, or prepare for training life as a coach.

As a coach I help enhance my clients’ leadership abilities and guide them towards unlocking their strengths and untapped energies.

10 AM: Shoot videos or write an interview.

11 AM: Contact students, clients or perspective coaches.

At the end of the day, clients achieve greater clarity on their respective goals. I love it when the people around me are healthy and happy. My ideal world is full of people who thrive in life and in balance.

12 NN: We pick up Joy from kindergarten and catch up on one another’s day.

1 PM: We have lunch together.

2 PM: Have a coaching session.

4 PM: I do any follow up on administrational tasks with my team.

5 PM: We go to the park with Joy and have fun.

6 PM: We go shopping or at the beach for a walk.

7 PM: We have dinner together.

8 PM: We bathe Joy and put her to sleep.

9 PM:  We relax in the living room with my husband and plan the next day.

10 PM: I listen to my meditations and affirmations and fall asleep.
