Business and Career Coaching

Combining Business Expertise with Coaching Skills to Help You Create the Life You Want

I help you get what you want.
Did you just say, “I don’t even know exactly what I want!”
No worries, we’ll start there. I have fantastic resources for helping you find your Why and how to take what lights you up and turn it into your career or business.
  • My background as an executive gives me great insight into how to help you create a career you love.
  • My background as an entrepreneur helps me guide you to building a business you love.
  • My expertise as a consultant and coach means I know how to quickly ID the issues and steer you toward what you want.
Each session is customized to your highest priorities, but to give you an idea of the things I make sure we are addressing as we get you up and running, I’ve included some typical things my entrepreneur clients are looking for help with.
I’m a very practical coach, but am also very intuitive. Words come out of my mouth sometimes when I’m coaching, and I’m not sure where they came from. And I love that!  However, what I really love is to take all of those things and put them in realistic, practical steps. We will:
  • Get your Vision, Mission, and Core Values set to help you make aligned decisions on your business. Once you know these, it’s so much easier to know what you want to offer and how.
  • Get you set up making offers and connecting with people who are the right people for you to help.
  • Design a work schedule along with priorities based on what you decided your mission, vision, and core values are.
  • Look at how you manage time, overwhelm, and procrastination and make a plan to address those.
  • Ensure you are giving attention to all the areas of your business – strategic, accounting/finance, sales/marketing, HR, and operation
  • Dive into whatever is holding you up – your website, tech issues, financing problems, or self-care
We’ll start where ever you are. If you already have some of these things handled – that’s great! We’ll work on what you need.

Testimonials

Jan is an outstanding coach! I worked with Jan to help build my business and she provided so much insight and practical business knowledge. She is extremely generous with sharing the tools she’s developed, and she is generous with her time as well. Jan knew when to “push” and when to console – both of which are needed for support. Jan knew exactly when I was hiding due to fear, and gave me tips to address it. She freely shares everything from business/coaching expertise to time management forms. I learned to much working with Jan. I can’t recommend her highly enough!
Theresa Lease, True North Authentic Life Coaching

“Jan’s coaching helped me not just keep my career on target, but get promoted, while dealing with all of the changes that starting a family brings. Helping me choose how to prioritize the key projects to focus my time that would make the biggest impact, which tasks could be handed off, and what really didn’t need to be done was exactly what I needed."

Brian F., public accounting partner

"Jan's pragmatic coaching style was a great fit. Our sessions provided me with a perfect combination of sounding board, brainstorming and wisdom. all tempered with her own experience working in the corporate world and launching her own business. Working with her was just the spark I needed to stop stumbling around and make great strides toward making my dream of running my own business a reality."

Diane Douiyssi, Inner Wisdom Wayfinding

"Jan has been integral in helping me launch my business. She takes things that seem confusing and stressful to me and breaks them down into specific, actionable steps.  She is able to balance the bird’s eye view of where I’m trying to go with the detailed view that even helps me practice the language I need for a specific project.  I always leave our calls feeling energized and ready to take the next steps."

Allie Irwin, Body Language Expert
'THANK YOU SO MUCH Jan for helping me get my newsletters out regularly and share about my work with potential clients in what feels like a very natural way. My client list is growing and so is my email inbox as I get more people wanting to work with me now. And I'm not so anxious about 'marketing' or selling now. It just all feels like a natural peaceful heartfelt conversation with people I would love to help if I can. I feel braver now and not so afraid of rejection or failure and can see the bigger picture after you helped me redefine my 'Why'. You have a gift and I hope that you get to help many others out there with your insight and special medicine.'
