Testimonials

The teaching videos are very detailed and really help you to learn the basics. But you are always encouraged to research and seek out answers for things that you don’t know, which is an important skill for a VA. Jen’s videos are very encouraging and thought-provoking. It’s great that I can go back and listen to all of the VA calls and videos that I’m not able to be a part of. I’ve learned so much! If you are determined to make this your career, Never Alone Coaching is great about helping you from the very beginning and for as long as you want their help and support.
The learning and encouragement have been essential to starting out on this new venture. So many skills and areas that I never knew how to do are now beginning to feel obtainable.

Just want to share my thankfulness and a reflection. One year ago on St. Patrick’s Day, my daughter, Valkyrie Hope Carvette, was born. I started the VA Academy a little before that, knowing I would be quitting my job and still need to work to supplement my husband’s income. I picked her name Hope because of all the hope I had for the coming season she would bring to my life. I was not happy with how my life was before that and was desperate to be home with my babies, while supporting my husband as he continues his schooling. I’m so thankful for all of you. This last year has been filled with even more changes than I was anticipating, even more things were fulfilled than I was hoping for! God is so good. I’m so thankful for all of you. I’m especially thankful for you, Jen (and Chris!), starting this program.
 
“Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.” – Romans 5:3

The benefit of the VA Academy is all the things I can learn. When the other members ask questions, I learn from them. We both get the answers we need! Before the VA Academy, I didn’t know what to do or where to go, so I didn’t do anything. Now I now have a plan!

Jen is an awesome business coach and a beautiful person. She helped me through a lot in my journey of creating a virtual assistant business. Highly recommend Never Alone VA Academy.

The Never Alone Coaching team loves God and business and that says it all!

Jen has a load of information and experience that she is sharing with her clients. Her insights help me grow my business and get clients. I am getting better at understanding how everything is working from the inside; what I need to focus on and what I like the most is that Jen teaches to use my strengths when building my business which makes my job enjoyable.

In the VA Academy, I am broadening my skills and very quickly found my first client! Before the VA Academy, I struggled with where to start. I’m so grateful for the guidance that I have received– I literally have the steps to take. Now that I’m in the VA Academy, my confidence has grown. When I have a question on how to do something for my client, Jen and her hubby have been so helpful in finding the answers. I followed the game plan set out and worked through step by step. If you’re considering joining the program, do it!! Follow the steps and you won’t regret it.

I can 100% recommend Never Alone VA Academy! They do a wonderful job in preparing Virtual Assistants to run their own successful businesses, and train in the different ways they might be called on to work with their future clients.
I am currently and proudly using one of their graduates and as a small business owner, am impressed with the professionalism, positive attitude, and services that I am receiving. My VA Amanda not only keeps me on track, but has also offered some suggestions that have saved me both time and money.
Sending a big thank you to Jen and Chris for helping these Virtual Assistants to up their game!

Absolutely the best career coaching I’ve had so far! Jen Hickle is extremely modest, but her course itself (coupled with her nearly weekly live group meetings) has set the bar for me! Not to mention her spirit is just something you don’t see in this business.
I’ve not only grown my skills, but I’ve grown as a person because of her.
I CANNOT recommend investing in this course enough. I promise you won’t regret it!

I’m forever grateful for a coach that can bring me closer to God while lifting me up emotionally and helping to set up systems in my business!  I have so much joy seeing you interact with all the other members, too!

Jen and her team are amazing! Always there to help, teach, encourage and inspire. Joining the Academy was a huge step of faith but I’m so thankful I did it. They are the image of empowerment, always seeking to help me and all the members to the next step.

The VA Academy has very thorough videos with the information explained clearly. Jen is great on the coaching calls and very knowledgeable and encouraging. Her VA Rachel is always helpful, prompt, and so approachable for questions and concerns. This has been a big step outside of my comfort zone into an area of dealing with fears and lies. It’s exciting to be learning and accomplishing something so great all the while still being the wife and mom I want to be, not having to brush any of my priorities aside.

In the VA Academy, I feel more confident in the decisions that I need to make as a business owner. I also feel that I’m part of a community that supports me and encourages me, making a difference in my perspective. Before the VA Academy, I struggled with having someone that I can trust to share my dreams and questions. I also didn’t have someone who truly understands my vision and to keep me accountable. Now I feel more encouraged and have a clear vision. More confident. What’s helped me is being active in the meetings, participating in the activities, doing the trainings, establishing goals, and making a plan for how to reach them. This program makes totally a difference in how you see things and your mindset. Some things that I didn’t see myself doing, I’m doing great right now! It’s always good to have someone that sees and believes in you. The personality test we took also help a lot to know more about myself and how I can impact others through my services!

“I don’t know if anyone has told Jen this lately, but she is so gifted in what she does! Not a meeting goes by where I don’t turn to Zoe and say, “Dang! She’s so good at this!!! How does she even think of this stuff?!” I want to be her biggest fangirl ever! Thank you so much to Jen – and Chris there in the background – and all the Never Alone team – for being the answer to our prayers – LITERALLY AND PRACTICALLY! You make me think of that verse: …no eye has seen… no ear has heard …no mind has conceived … what God has in store for you… Seriously, I had NO IDEA that this is what God had in store for us, but let’s just say He’s pulling us up out of the pit of despair, out of the miry clay!”

Being introduced to the VA Academy offered by Never Alone Coaching has been the best thing for me! Not only are the challenges fun and exciting to complete, but the support that is given to you along every step of the journey is simply wonderful! And you get to meet so many amazing people with a variety of interests and skills, all at different stages of life, which makes connecting with the group such an incredible place to learn and grow! If you’re anything like me (creative and wanting to learn something new), talk to Jen! She is so helpful in answering questions and guiding you in taking the next step!

Working with Never Alone Coaching means I always have something productive to do for my business. I always have written, video, and in-person support that I need to follow through with everything. Before I joined the Inner Circle, I struggled with knowing what to do for my business and I didn’t have the support to work through areas in which I was stuck on. Now that I’m in the program, it makes me feel good to know I have valid, useful things I can do for my business. It’s definitely worth the commitment of time and money! They have different tracks to join, so find the right program for you.

“Never Alone is such a great company! They have been essential to the growth of my studio as well as my confidence as a small business owner. The monthly calls give me the opportunity to get some tough questions answered in a way that is loving and appreciative of the work that I put in as a small business owner. With Never Alone beside me, I was able to get systems in place to get my company running smoothly so I can devote time to my family. I’m able to run a successful business AND be a good mom, wife, and volunteer at my church! We use Never Alone services for Coaching, Website Building and Facebook Marketing. Never Alone is essential for a small business owner. Invest in yourself and you will grow and have the freedom to do the things that you love!”

“I would highly recommend Never Alone Business Services to any business owner out there! Jen and Chris Hickle are a dynamic duo and this program is a very rare opportunity to get not one, but two people with their years of experience and practical knowledge about business, marketing, social media, hiring, and more. In the first 2 calls I had with Jen, I got actionable, practical information that helped me make decisions to establish systems that have allowed our business to more than double in size in a few months. Chris then followed up with specific tutorials on how they have actually used the same systems in their business. I have not found anyone who can go into as much depth on these subjects as these two. Use their programs, and you’ll see for yourself!”

“Less than a year ago I was stuck in my business. I was so stuck that I often cried and wanted to give up. I knew I needed to change something, but wasn’t sure what. I soon discovered I was doing way too many things in my life, many were time wasters, and I made the decision I was ready to get serious about growing my company.

I prayed for the right person who would be able to come into my life, and mentor me, as well as give me valuable tools to get things going in the right direction. Last spring I met with Jen, and she explained she had once been in a similar situation. She shared some things she had done to turn that around and build a successful company. I loved that she was a mom of 4 children like myself, and that by putting the right systems into place, it was possible to do it all!

Through the Inner Circle program I have prioritized my time, organized my household, and put specific systems and strategies into place at my insurance agency. Where I once always felt behind, I am now on track and have time to plan for the future of my business. I highly recommend Chris and Jen at Never Alone Services!”

As a business owner, it is so helpful to make sure that you have your staff working to their strengths – it just makes for happy employees with a better work atmosphere and it translates to your customer satisfaction levels as well. I engaged Jen to evaluate my staff and she did not disappoint! She was able to read and access the hidden strengths in my staff members through testing and evaluations, and then compliment their strengths while playing down their weaknesses. It was so helpful to then sort out what tasks my staff was best at, and make ALL of us happy and being the best we can be. Highly recommend Jen and her staff coaching!

I am thrilled to share about my experience with hiring a VA from the VA Academy.  I have been working with my VA for over 2 years now, and am simply so amazed at how much having an assistant can bring me peace!  I have worked with Alison Penner and recommended her to many of my colleagues. She is very knowledgeable about social media, updating my website when needed, and recently in helping me to revise my book and design book covers!  The graphic designing that she has done for my business is second to none and I get many compliments on it.  The best part is I don’t have to put any brain space in those directions that challenge me and I can continue to operate in my gifts and strengths.  The trust and confidence that I have in my VA helps me to sleep well at night and know that those details that I just do not enjoy are in competent hands! I feel so very blessed to have found Alison!!
