Jess’ enthusiasm and commitment to her clients is unmatched! She doesn’t take a ‘one size fits all approach’, and instead everything is tailored to the individual. Would definitely recommend Jess to organisations both large and small.

I have now attended two training sessions facilitated by the Symes Group and have twice between blown away by their insight, professionalism and ability to capture an audience. Jessica’s style is refreshingly honest, compassionate and pragmatic. I would recommend the Symes Group to any organisation looking to upskill their staff or any individual looking for genuine professional development. Jessica stands out in my memory as one of the most effective presenters I have come across in a professional, academic or informal setting.

My one-on-one coaching sessions with Jessica have been a priceless experience, and a turning point in my career. Jessica has unmatched skills in ‘reading’ people and unveiling areas for improvement, which led me to discover so much about myself. Jessica challenged me in many ways, with a level of care and passion that was comforting at the same time. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone who wants to take their career to the next level.
