Client Stories

I met Jan last year after I lost my job. She guided me, step by step, through this difficult transition. She is creative, detailed oriented, professional, and sincere. She truly cares about her work and her clients.

Trish, Office Manager

I hired Jan as a career coach in September 2005 when I was considering a transition from consumer sales/marketing to the public sector. She provided a framework that brought focus to my career search. Jan delivered the resources and insight to help me gain a deep understanding of my talents and passions. She then took the next step to draw connections between my strengths and future career opportunities. She played a significant role in my successful transition to the public sector. For her efforts, Jan receives my highest recommendation.

Matt, University Vice President for Budget Planning and Management

I was stuck in a very unsatisfying job for nearly eight years because I couldn’t adequately identify my transferable talents and what career paths I should be targeting. After working with Jan for a few months, she helped re-brand my background and skill set to make me an immensely more marketable candidate. With the high volume of career-advice information available these days, Jan served as an invaluable filter.

Tim, Director of Marketing & Business Development

I worked with Jan several years ago when I was in more than just a career transition. My career in early-stage software companies had made me a casualty of tech bubble burst. I wanted more than just another job; I wanted to reevaluate my whole self and determine the best path for me, and Jan was the perfect guide to get me started on that journey. The beautiful thing about what Jan did for me is that it went well beyond that season of time in 2004 – I still look back at the results of our sessions and use what came out of them. She helped me discover some great truth about myself which did so much for my confidence, as well as my long-term vision for what I can accomplish. I highly recommend working with Jan – go in with an open mind and an open heart and let her gentle wisdom do wonders for you!
