We recently connected with Jamilah Conway and have shared our conversation below.
Jamilah, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. We’d love to hear about the best boss, mentor, or leader you’ve ever worked with.
I had a non profit job where I was a Wellness Coach. Me and My Boss always worked in high volume setting and tag team with clients if one of us were busy. He was able to let me gain more wellness clients to expand my experience as a coach and nutritionist. He gave me the opportunity to operate the wellness floor during his hours and mines so I was able to gain more income due to rent and other expenses. He knew I would be great because he always gave me positive recognition, recommendation and seen my work first hand of many. Being able to work with someone that is older than me and that I was the main person handling more than 100 clients he had faith in me and my craft. I will forever be grateful for having him as a person that helped me in my career field.
Jamilah, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
Hey everyone! My name is Jamilah Conway. I am an Alumna of The Great Bethune Cookman University. I received my Bachelors in Liberal Studies concentration in Exercise Science/Health & Wellness minor in Athletic Training. I was inspired by many individuals in my life to start making a change in the world. With 14 Yrs+ of experience in this inspiring industry (Professionally & Self-Taught), I was able to obtain endless knowledge and certifications. I then grew a passion for Health and Wellness. Here at JCXSHRED LLC we provide not only our services for training and coaching, but we also sell Health and Wellness Products (Premium HEMP/CBD, High Quality Waist Trimmers With Phone Pocket, Men & Women Athletic Wear). You must be 21 yrs or older to purchase any HEMP/CBD product. I am proud of my accomplishments in life, grateful for life and being able to educate a lot of people about healthy living and why it’s so important. Another accomplishment I achieved was growing fruits and veggies in my own back yard. It taught me patience and that everything in life is a process and nothing can’t be rushed.
JCXSHRED LLC creates very diverse Fitness programs for individuals to strengthen weak muscles using weights and your own body-weight! Our Nutrition programs will teach you how to create and maintain a healthy lifestyle. With our mentoring background, we will always motivate you to keep striving towards your goals. We use the F.I.T.T principles. It targets weak areas within your workouts and helps promote stronger muscles, and a healthy heart.
Other than training/knowledge, what do you think is most helpful for succeeding in your field?
Patience and trusting the process would be the top two things that are very helpful assets to have. Being in an industry where you have a diverse age group, you would have to adapt that principle in order to fully be successful. A lot of time people rush to hurry up to do something they love they miss the details. Understanding your audience is another term I pay attention to. Being able to understand my clients when getting their workout plans together I have to know that this person can’t do these many reps etc because of this problem they had a year ago, so let’s start off light then gradually go up in reps. Creating healthy habits for yourself is key when your a business owner, thinking about starting one, or simply in the “process” of it.
If you could go back in time, do you think you would have chosen a different profession or specialty?
Yes,I would go back in time and choose the same profession. The one thing I would do differently was wishing I could take other classes outside my profession because I loved the subject about Ethics. Understanding logic thinking and how other practice healthy living in their cultures is one thing I enjoy researching on my spare time.
