Step Up: Your Calling Awaits
“I believe there’s a calling for all of us. I know that every human being has value and purpose. The real work of our lives is to become aware. And awakened. To answer the call.” -Oprah Winfrey
This is a challenging time. As financial distress begins to touch more people more intimately, the collective weight of this shared experience and the disparities we all see is taking its toll, and it is inviting change. This is a moment in time and—albeit a heavy moment—it also presents an opportunity to step into your calling.
PJS Consultants came into existence to fill a void: over and over in my professional work, I encounter consultants who cannot empathize with my life experiences and are thus unable to effectively or holistically represent my voice. In 2014, when the hardships I faced at work came to a head, I decided to become the consultant I always longed for, with the intention of addressing my own needs while also responding to a gap in the marketplace concerning the representation of African American communities. I stepped into my path and took on the work that I am uniquely positioned to carry out.
I believe that every individual—including you—brings a unique viewpoint to the table. The combination of your natural talents and lived experiences makes your perspectives distinct from those of anyone else. What are your gifts? What is your purpose? What is your calling? Now is the time to answer the call and encourage others to do the same. At PJS Consultants, we are even more clear today about our shared passion for restoring humanity in marketing, to ensure that all communities are represented with dignity.
For us, representation is a core value. Because we believe in the power and importance of representation, we prioritize having a diverse team to expand our collective perspective, and so that a broad portion of our client base might feel seen and reflected in our work.
We remain committed to being of service to you as you keep up with the demanding work of responding to your constituents’ needs. Continue to call on us. We are here for you.
