"How many of us are still accepting the substandard treatment?" How Jessica Wilson teaches her audience to assert their rights

Learn about the strategies self-advocacy specialist Jessica Wilson uses to sell coaching, tell her story and inspire individuals to stand up for themselves.

The 17th July of 2020 Jessica Wilson was diagnosed with Stage 3 of inflammatory breast cancer. She was aged 32 and did not have a family member or previous history of having breast cancer genes.

"I go to my oncologist's clinic for my first appointment, and discover that he's an individual with the same enthusiasm for keeping me healthy like me." Jessica remembers. "He showed up to my appointment 40 minutes late -- no explanation, no apology."

"Immediately my brain goes into survival mode. If you do not think about whether or not, and my treatment lies in your own hands ... It's clear that I'm in the need of a change. I immediately started speaking up and expressing my concerns to anyone who would listen for example, to my doctor who recommended me and to my surgeon for breasts and to anyone else -- "Hey, this doesn't work for me.'"

Her physician kept pushing a standard course of treatment. "Maybe what I have isn't standard," Jessica thought. "Maybe I should think outside of this space."

After that, Jessica switched doctors and hospital networks to find the medical staff that was attentive to her. "I am convinced that if I not been there that I would not be alive in the present. This isn't a regret," she says.

This story has prompted an interest for Jessica to see if anyone else is experiencing this?

"Having been through that experience I came to the realization how many take advantage of this treatment or due to the lack of what to do or they're worried and do not think of what to do?"

Jessica realized that there would others out there who were in similar circumstances, and some of whom may lack the courage or knowledge to speak up on their own as she was.

She was inspired to share the lessons she's learned from her own journey:

It's possible to stay solid when you refuse to undergo any test or procedure you're not interested in, even the doctor who you speak to suggests you have no choice.

Tell your doctor when you're in need of extra time to think or discuss things.

Prepare to ask a lot of questions -- as numerous as it is necessary to understand what your physician is trying to explain to you.

"I looked at my surroundings and saw that I've needed to stand up for myself," Jessica explains. "When you think about the world in general, you'll see the need to be advocating for yourself in every situation."

Her idea was narrowed to the three areas where she believes self-advocacy has most impact on the realms of medical, employment and personal relationships.

To tackle these challenges, Jessica launched her coaching company, Advocacy Alley.

Now, Jessica helps members of marginalized groups learn to build confidence and assert themselves for themselves across all areas of their lives. Jessica is also known as Jess the IE -- an "industrial engineer by trade, and the guru of intuitiveness through love".

"I work in finance for an important home improvement store as well as taking on this job as a second job. Since I am obsessed with one area as well as the other one has more passion. I'm extremely passionate about making processes, people and technology efficient. In addition, I'm thrilled about folks getting the treatment that they deserve."

Read on to learn about the different ways Jessica used her passion for improving processes as well as her website to start her coaching career, share her experiences, and encourage other people to be advocates for their own.

"How do you navigate the tricky zone between "I don't want to appear insensitive, yet I need to be assertive"?" Jessica describes.

"This I am. This body. This is what I'm willing to take. It's something I'd like to have a second opinion on. The process started there and I've since packaged the idea however how should I communicate it for people to view?"

"I loved the price difference ... I didn't have to get far enough into the top level in order to be sure that it was meeting my expectations. I liked the flexibility of everythingand the interface ] was very user-friendly. I went through the 14 days of trial, and I discovered, "Ooh it's a blank area. There's no end in what you can accomplish with the space.'"

At first, Jessica used to host her downloads for free and also provide details about the one-on-one coaching she offers. While developing Advocacy Alley, she built her own website.

"Over time, the website has continued to increase until it's now where my entire website is ['ssales and landing pages]" Jessica describes.

"I wanted to get classes on offer as I was hoping to get in touch with the largest amount of students possible."

This course was designed to help those who've recently been diagnosed and must decide what next steps to take -and without descending into the Google tunnel of worst-case scenarios.

"I knew that I wanted to develop a plan for folks to anchor themselves to ensure that their minds aren't confused, no matter what the diagnosis can be," Jessica explains. "Sometimes there's nothing to hold your foot on. Something that will aid you in ensuring that you don't fall."

Though she will continue providing one-on-one coaching sessions but the course online can help Jessica scale her impact to help to reach more people.

"I was aware that I had to make sure that I was able to access courses because I wanted to affect as many people as that I could. I am able to only deal with so many people at a time and I am able to only take care of an array of aspects.

It's something that an infinite number of people can participate in at any time, regardless of whether I'm at the moment to meet one-onone or not. And actually get that same sort of effect."

Hospitals may sponsor courses for a certain amount of patients, or employ Jessica as a consultant, and communicate directly with her. "That is how I will become the most efficient."

The art of building the confidence of an audience "If you're not comfortable and uneasy, you're not advancing."

"While you're still trying to build your email database, you can't only email individuals," she says. "I have to be also actively engaged and visible via Facebook and other social platforms."

The first time she put herself out there via social media didn't seem like something that came from within.

"Being creative has made me stand in front of the camera, in the middle of attention. This isn't easy and it's at first be a bit unsettling and uncomfortable. If you're not comfortable and uneasy, then it's not the right time to expand.

In the end, I did it live without anyone in the room, with just one person watching -- it didn't matter. It was more of an exercise for me. If I can complete it just once then I can do it over and over. It was basically pushing me to be comfortable and uncomfortable."

The author explains the process of coming up with topics to write about is easy -however, creating regularly and posting them to an already full schedule is difficult.

"There are a myriad of items I'd like to offer away. I don't think I've had difficulties in creating information that I would like to make available to people," she shares.

"If you're seeking to create your brand, you need to have frequent visits to your website. To overcome that I began to find ways of batching blog posts ... instead of being long and lengthy. We'll break [a blog's postinto three parts. So I'll have three of the five posts I've planned for this week."

"You can make image posts, you can make [Instagram] Reels and also be humorous You can also make Reels as well as be professionally ... basically anything you can do to make it more diverse in how users are able to find your account," she recommends.

Jessica's advice to young artists: "Follow your passion, and you'll be able to earn money."

"Mindset is the secret to success. When you believe that you'll never be successful, then you'll not be. There will be days when you're thrilled, but there are days when you're like, "I do not have the motivation to.' They're all fine."

"Take the day off and take a break from the work you do and observe how you feel following the day," she recommends.

If you're a creator who's only beginning to get started , Jessica encourages you to begin by taking in tiny steps.

"Don't worry about having the most gorgeous and breathtaking webpage set up at the start. Do not worry about separate pages per product. Make sure that those pages are constructed initially. When your product line grows and expands, and as your company expands and expands, you'll be able to build more pages."

Today, Jessica offers one-on-one coaching, free resources, an online training course designed for both individuals and health professionals. She also has three social media sites which are actively used even as she's beginning to establish her brand.

The creation process is not a sprint, but a marathon. the equivalent of a race.

"You don't have to be a millionaire overnight. Find what you love and your money will follow."
