Coaching Experience

Jan’s journey with clients is to encourage individuals and groups to discover themselves through appreciation and then releasing obstacles that stop them from achieving their goals. Particular focus is placed on self-limiting beliefs, resilience, unconscious biases, managing challenging behaviours, organisational change and the impacts of culture exhibited in the workplace.  During the COVID pandemic, she supported frontline NHS staff with offers of pro-bono coaching to clients dealing with stress, loss and grief injury by encouraging clients to identify what they can “effect” (influence) and what they can “affect” (change and control).
