Close-Up Talk Radio spotlights Tina Frizzell-Jenkins of JTI Coaching & Seminars

Glendale, MD -- The coach’s journey is rarely direct. Many would-be coaches have had to overcome great hardships to transform their lives. But those experiences often inspire in people an overwhelming desire to help others create and follow the path toward a more rewarding life.

Growing up in her native Washington D.C. Tina Frizzell-Jenkins struggled all through school; she had to study five times harder than everyone else just to get B’s and C’s. It wasn’t until her own children were diagnosed with dyslexia that she discovered she too suffered from a learning disability. Today, Tina is a certified leadership and empowerment coach and the founder of JTI Coaching & Seminars, a division of Just Traders International, LLC.

“40 years ago they didn’t talk about learning disabilities,” says Tina. “It was a struggle but I’m very thankful for that struggle because it allowed me to develop a strong work-ethic for problem solving.”

That work-ethic served her well. Five years after graduating from Northeastern University, Tina went on to NASA where she’s worked as an engineer for the past 26 years. In addition to JTI Coaching & Seminars, Tina is NASA’s Coaching Program Manager.

Tina says many of her clients are people starting their own business. She helps these clients create a foundation for their business to provide a structure that can help them moving forward.

“If you’re dedicated and you want to move forward, I’m the coach for you,” says Tina. “Coaching helps people make their own way and I can show you how to get exactly where you want to go one step at a time.”
