Collaborative Sage with No Agenda
The key for me in coaching is that Jan is a partner who understands a fair amount about my business but she knows a great deal about me. She knows what I value, how I make decisions, what my goals are, where I’d like to go, what things can easily block me from success. She can use those and reflect back lots of ideas from her knowledge of me, her knowledge of people in general and her skills as a coach. She’s interested in me and cares about me, but she has nothing at stake in my decisions. This frees her up to be way more objective than anyone in my organization or my family, where the decisions may affect them greatly. Jan serves as my safety net, my advisor and my constant ally. – Christina Temperante, CEO/Partner, Volkart May
Powerful Thinking Partner
Jan is insightful, creative, caring, and fully committed to my success. I have grown exponentially both personally and professionally as a result of her coaching expertise. She is not afraid to push me and yet does so in a way that is caring and supportive. I would highly recommend Jan if you are committed to growth and need a powerful thinking partner. She is on my list as a “must have”, not a “nice to have”! – Bruce McLeod, President, Live Big Coaching/Former Vice-President, Human Resources, Bioniche Life Science
Accountability and Possibility Catalyst
Jan helped me open up my thinking, explode some myths and “get out of the quicksand” I was mentally mired in. The regular coaching cadence we established made me accountably to keep moving forward – something I wasn’t able to do on my own. Having Coach Jan in my corner, cheering me on and gently guiding me, has been invaluable for me. – Patti Tironi, Director, Internal Communications, Ingersoll Rand
Clarity and Confidence Builder
Coaching with Jan while in the process of establishing my business has been integral to achieving success. Having an accountability partner to keep me going has kept me on track…Jan is able to ask the questions that force me to really think about what’s getting in the way and create clarity (and confidence) for the path forward. – Melissa Casey, Casey Executive Coaching and Team Development
Transition and Possibility Guide
Jan’s coaching gave me the confidence and tools to make a big life transition, and helped put me in a place where I am happy, challenged and right where I belong. Her insight, focus and ability to mirror back specific aspects of me that explored during our sessions really helped me see that my potential is only limited by my imagination. – Dave Whittier, Manager, City of Vancouver Tactical Training Centre
Transition Catalyst
Jan helped me make one of the biggest transitions in my life. She is fully engaged, adaptive, funny and an awesome listener. She believes in me sometimes more than I believe in myself. My life is fuller and richer for having Jan in it. – Michelle Sharp, Founder, Edge Consulting Ltd.
Fulfillment and Inspiration
Jan is a natural, intuitive coach. Coaching with Jan has given me greater authenticity and fulfillment in all areas of my life. – Mary Lynn Ghinzel, Vancouver, BC
