“Jewel Diamond Taylor is a coach extraordinaire. Her transparency and intuitive ability make me feel like I am conversing with someone who has known me my entire life. Jewel’s mastery of words and language is a potent elixir served from a cup of accountability that not only makes it possible for me to acknowledge my doubts, fears, and insecurities. but makes it possible for me to move beyond them and take total ownership of my gifts, talents, and abilities. Because of Jewel, I’m no longer afraid of my shadow.. I am too busy embracing the light.” – Sage Chioma, North Carolina
” Jewel is an extremely astute coach, mentor, listener, and guide. I had an initial Skype session with Jewel some time back. Since then I have aimed to put in to practice the clear steps she advised me to look at and work on. However, recently I hit a wall and had an epiphany of what lay at the heart of the majority of my very long-standing ‘ negative – self’ mindset issues and this resulting suppressant to reach the potential God is calling me to. I knew how deeply significant this was for me and that I’d arrived at a clear watershed in my life. I immediately knew I needed to speak with Jewel. I knew she would read my situation, understand and discern with incisive authority, speaking courage, truth, honor, and measured calm in the way that was necessary and fully appropriate to me. I can’t recommend her highly enough. If you are really serious in turning your damaged mindsets round in your life for good so you can move on permanently speak with Jewel to get you on the right path and beyond. Jewel is the total package and genuine spirit-filled- sent angel for those of us who need genuine encouragement and a restoration of true self-worth.” – Emily, The United Kingdom

“I had an amazing “author and speaking coaching session” with author and motivational speaker Jewel Diamond Taylor. Anyone who aspires to go to the next level, you must have a mentor or a personal development coach. It’s wonderful when you meet someone that likes you on the next level and can give you guidance as well as give you the ingredients to success! Thank you Jewel for your keen insight, Godly wisdom, and superb road map for success and serving the Kingdom.” Kimberly Williams (speaker and author), Founder of the Matriarch Society
“Since I have joined Jewel Diamond Taylor’s mentoring class my Vision has gone to another level. I thank God for Mrs. Jewel Diamond Taylor she’s awesome.” – Emertha Jones
My dear beloved Life Coach Jewel: “I wanted to share the fruits of your love as my coach. I couldn’t see the vision and looked down and wanted to give up and you helped lift my head to the Lord from whom ALL my help comes from. From that day in 1993, when I felt my life was not worth living and I contemplated suicide you came into my life via email. God dispatched you as my Angel to lead, guide, and encourage me. With all your books, CDs, and individual coaching over the past 24 years I am humbled and honored to share my endeavors with you. I will be retiring from my job in Sept 2016. With your coaching and inspiration along with the Holy Spirit I have two businesses that God birth into my spirit last year around this time. I’m forever grateful for you my Angel. Once I’m retired I can’t wait to attend one of your retreats. Love you with all my heart mind and spirit.” ~ Charmaine (Maryland).
I had a great life coaching session with a new client Emily from the U.K. London. We had our 90 minute session via skype. I thank her for sharing her positive feedback below.
“Hello Jewel… Just to thank you very much for our session together. I found it totally edifying. Lots of notes and things to ruminate, work, reflect and make friends with myself on. I already feel like I am on a re-defined path of growth, like you have switched on my re-set button. Crucially though without being knocked sideways, radically changing my vision or what I feel God has been nudging and encouraging me towards. It just means navigating the path I will know more what to tune into, in order to maintain stamina and clarity, plus nurse any dispiriting days…which are inevitable as well as the good. I would love to have another session soon.” Warmly, Emily
“I took advantage of this and it was by far one of the best experiences/ coaching session ever. I was very touched that Mrs. Taylor ended our coaching session in Prayer not to mention I felt like a conqueror afterward. I’m in desperate need of another coaching session and hopefully, I can secure the available slots. Thank you!!” Wendy Reed, California
“My decision to meet with Jewel as a Life Coach was a divine life-changing decision. Jewel was so easy to talk to and I instantly felt comfortable enough to open up and share things that I had not shared before. She truly understood me which meant so much. The nuggets of wisdom that I walked away with I will forever treasure. She is truly an anointed Woman of God.” – B. W. (California)
“I just wanted to take a minute to share with you the force of nature that is Jewel Diamond Taylor. I first met Jewel back in the 90’s when she was a keynote speaker for African American Tour, a national tour featuring powerhouse African American women whose mission was to inspire and empower. Jewel was so awesome that she was asked to speak in every city for the many years that the tour ran. I was immediately captivated, and have followed her ever since. I’ve gone to her conferences and workshops in different states. I get her e-newsletters. I bought her books. Given her CD’s as gifts. Engaged her to facilitate our women’s weekend retreats (five times over the last 20 years, to date). and regularly visit her website. All are inspiriting and empowering. What sets Jewel apart is her empathy, humor, style, insight, and spirit. Jewel excels at getting to the heart of the matter, and challenging women to take risks and embrace change. Jewel has taught me to see challenges as opportunities. She is unafraid to share her own testimony, and does so with grace, humility, and humor. Jewel has a wealth of information, and communicates it in a style that is both engaging and relatable. She doesn’t preach. She empowers! Jewel’s life-strategies are life-changing! She is that good!” ~ Roxanne Joy Johnson, New York
“I am a great fan of Jewel Diamond Taylor. She is a genius when it comes down to helping others. Her tremendous life coaching skills have been so helpful in helping me and others to deal with life, family situations and even MY marriage. She empowers me and so many others with her wealth of knowledge and wisdom that she spreads. ~ Kem Morris
Jewel Diamond Taylor, Motivator, Speaker, Life Coach, Author, Supreme Woman of God, what else can I say? Truly my first session with Jewel was an appointment ordained by God. Jewel is truly gifted in her profession and anointed by God. I would have never imagined that I would have an opportunity to work with Jewel from a one-on-one coaching perspective. All I can say is God opened the door. My first session was very informative and caused me to do some heartfelt soul searching. I thank God for Jewel’s book, “You Deserve More” because it gave me a voice around what I could not say of did not know how to say. I could relate to everything in the book. I would strongly recommend that purchase. Make an investment in yourself. During my session with Jewel, she asked probing questions with genuineness and sincerity to understand my expectations and needs. She was very transparent in sharing her experiences which assisted me in expressing and communicating what I was looking to change and improve. Jewel was empathetic and focused on ensuring I pursue my best self in all areas, personally, emotionally, professionally, spiritually, and financially. The most amazing part of this experience was the very next morning after the session, I googled a particular topic on joy and so many of the things that Jewel discussed during my session were confirmed by this article that I searched. I don’t call this luck, I call that an anointed and divine session that God had orchestrated from the time I was being formed in my mother’s womb. Jewel, thank you for a wonderful first session. I look forward to many more. To those of you that are going through any challenge or obstacle, love yourself, invest in yourself because YOU are worth it. Be Blessed and as Jewel says, “Stay In The Light”. ~ Renee (Delaware)
“I could not afford some other women coaches that I researched, but I’m glad I found Dr. Jewel because she is affordable but also very knowledgeable, helpful, and spiritually grounded. She really understands women’s issues. She is a wife, mother, sister, entrepreneur, minister and experienced depression and grief after losing her Mother and son to cancer. I felt very comfortable opening up my heart to her about my issues. She taught me that transparency leads to a triumphant victory of healing. Thank you Dr. Jewel!” ~ Deborah E. in Dallas, TX
“All I can say is “WOW”! I thought it would be embarrassing or useless to have counseling. I was so wrong. My phone sessions with Dr. Jewel have been life-changing. So glad I found her web site and picked up the phone.” ~ Nikki, Oakland, CA
“Now that I am away from family, friends, and my community stationed in Japan, I needed emotional support to cope with change. Thank you so much Jewel for offering your coaching services by SKYPE which helped to settle my spirit and regain my focus. God Bless you!” ~ Sandra B. – JAPAN

“I was born in the Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington D. C. After completing his duty in the U. S. Army, my father, Robert Lewis, became a gemologist and a jewelry store owner.
After he passed away I began to read his books and became very curious about gem stones. There’s a machine called the “Rock Tumbler”. It tumbles dirty, rough and dull rocks in water. It’s very noisy as the rocks start to spin, fly, and crash into each other as they rumble around in the water. After all the tumbling and rubbing up against each other, the rocks that were once rough and dull come out shining and polished. They are transformed.
Whatever pressure, tumbling, polishing or storm you are going through in life it is a process called transformation. Some might feel they are being punished when really God is polishing and perfecting you for a higher purpose. It never feels good or feels fair. In our lives we crash, tumble and rub up against other. Some people polish us up and some crush us.
I have heard testimonies, questions, and stories of pain and success from women from all walks of life. I have seen women so wounded that they can’t see beyond their past. I have seen resilient women overcome cancer, divorce, abuse, poverty, unemployment, loneliness, promiscuity, ridicule, racism, sexism, single parenting, betrayal, addictions, procrastination, depression, homeless, anxiety disorders, anger, rape, incest, prison, low self-esteem/worth, grief and shame. I have seen women grow and take leaps of faith. I have seen women walk out of fear and right into their purpose. I have seen women sit on their assets and some women blossom and grow into entrepreneurship. My clothes have been soaked with tears and my ears have heard untold secrets of shame, hurt, dysfunctional families, depression and drama. I was born for this! I was born to co-labor with my sisters on their path of discovery, healing, peace and restoration. I was born for this. I know that a lot of my sisters are so heavily burden with just surviving, that they don’t have a smile. They don’t have time or know how to enjoy the benefits of sisterhood, serenity, or self-care. I gladly accept the assignment to be a guidepost towards the path of emotional wellness, joy, sanity, peace, sisterhood, purpose, coping skills, self-care, faith, healing and trusting again. I was born for this! I have seen women beat incredible odds and some who complain, whine and easily give up. Some choose to grow and some choose being a a victim. Some women think they will shock with their stories and some choose to live as silent sufferers. No story can scare me or cause me to judge you.
If you are trying to build your business or ministry, write a book, lose weight, become debt free, finish college, find a job, improve or heal relationships, let go of the past or break an addiction…surrender to the PROCESS to get to your PROMISE. Your step by step actions, perseverance, faith and discipline will make the difference. You may get tired, but stay inspired. Anything is possible with faith and action. There are no short cuts. The “PROCESS” is the price of admission to walk through the doors of success.”
The journey of a diamond is a long and complex process. Diamonds are formed under extreme temperatures and pressure. The diamond industry uses “fire polish” to bring sparkle and create a fiery diamond that unleashes the quality, color, beauty and light within. There is a big difference seen once a diamond is polished with fire…it becomes a blazing gem after being recut! Once a diamond has been recut and polished by fire, it flashes with color and light. Are you ready to be in a room full of empowerment, information and women sharing their stories, wisdom, experiences and FIRE?
