How Spotlight Works
Step 1 Reserve Your Session
Choose a date and time that works for you, then reserve your session with a $200 deposit — applied in full toward your selected experience.
Packages start at $695.
Step 2Recorded, Guided Conversation
Your student meets 1:1 with Jamil for a recorded, guided conversation. Parents are not present so students can speak freely and confidently. Jamil has spent over 20 years coaching young people through high-stakes conversations. She knows how to help students speak clearly and confidently — on their own terms.
Step 3Your Student’s Story
After the session, we shape and publish your student's feature — edited, professional, and ready to be found.

Shy students often do especially well in this format because the conversation unfolds at their pace.

The recorded conversation lasts approximately 30 minutes.
