By: Coaching Coordinator
Jan is a coach, author, speaker and founder of Business Class Inc.
She has worked with clients from a wide range of industries and on a wide range of issues. Her primary areas of expertise, however, include: performance management; management style and customer service.
As a Professional Certified Coach, Jan’s specialty is working with women in leadership roles to take charge in more effective ways, make things happen and inspire others to do the same.
Preparation for this specialty has included 36 years of hands on experience as a sales rep, manager, leader, student, trainer, coach, mother, wife, and volunteer; plus extensive post-graduate work. Details below if desired.
Her study continues on a daily basis through books, colleagues, workshops and interactions with clients. She says:
“I learn new things every day and love sharing these lessons and insights with others. It’s an absolute thrill to me when I hear that someone read, heard or saw something – on our site, in our e-zine, in a workshop, or individual coaching session - that caused a shift or aha that enabled them to do their work better and enjoy it more. Which usually enables them to take charge in more effective ways, make things happen and inspire others to do the same.”
