I had the pleasure of working with Jan as I transitioned into a new organization. Our meetings helped fine tune my communication and leadership skills so I can support and empower those around me. Jan’s compassion, expertise and practical advice made our time together not only relevant, but enjoyable. I would highly recommend Jan for anyone looking for an inspiring and experienced career coach.

Executive Director, CBC Solutions

I was overwhelmed by my job and how many hours I was spending doing it. Over the course of several months, Jan asked questions, some of them challenging, listened to me and gave me feedback on what she heard. She helped me organize my litany of confusion, frustrations, and problems into three clear categories. I can now prioritize my actions and am making progress toward my goals. I am so lucky to have worked with Jan. She is super-smart, calm, and good humored as well as knowledgeable about non-profit organizations and their dynamics.

Executive Director, Bellevue Youth Symphony Orchestra

Before meeting with Jan, I was almost sure that my time with her would lead to burdensome, heavy questions that I was already asking myself and being hard on myself about. But after setting some simple goals for our conversation and having her walk me through some reflections on my life story, among other good, easy-to-answer questions, I left the session feeling relaxed, capable, and with some new ideas and tools in my pocket. And most importantly, with new questions that were much more fun to answer than the ones I was asking myself. I felt truly listened to and that her questions were pertinent to my unique situation and style of decision-making. Thank you, Jan!

The time I spent in my coaching relationship with Jan has been invaluable to me. She helped me discover my blind spots and more importantly, helped me develop and implement a plan to reduce their impact. She was so easy to work with and I feel Iike I gained a friend as well as a coach. I would highly recommend her.

Executive Director, Clinical Support / Montana Service Area, Providence St Joseph Health

I gained so much from my coaching experience with Jan. Before working with her, my stress level was holding me back in my career and significantly impacting my home life. After our sessions together, I have gained new insights on myself and readjusted my perspective about my career, and as a result I have been able to take on a big opportunity at a new organization while feeling more balanced and content than ever before.

I was fortunate enough to work with Jan as she served as my coach while I transitioned into a new role. She is a wonderful individual, whose respected career as a healthcare executive makes her perfect to provide insight on creating a meaningful and actionable set of priorities. Jan’s style helps create an immediate connection as she listened, and gave recommendations to help build upon my current foundation—I am grateful for the help she provided to my team, and the investment she made to hold me accountable and ensure that everyone’s well-being is kept front-and-center.

I had the pleasure of working with Jan Jones during a critical change in my career. Not only was she able to help me to discover and address unwanted behavior patterns, she was also very supportive throughout the change. It was great having a coach by my side to help manage the changes in my career and the changes needed in myself.
