What Others Say 

“[Coaching with Janet] has allowed me to step back and reflect on my current leadership role, observe the challenges and successes, and problem solve some solutions. I don't have a team or much direction from manager, so Janet's skill as a coach was so valuable to help identify direction, role clarity and sustainability. It also improved my comfort level of being a new leader and helped me see how this impacts the organisation and my place within it to influence change.”

“I am more mindful in my interactions with clients and teammates. I am willing to take and accept more 'risks' in order to be more comfortable with delegation as I continue to develop my leadership brand.”

“[Coaching with Janet] has helped me be more assertive and lead and manage difficult conversations to ensure open, effective communication that build trust in the team.”

What I Love

I enjoy meditation, yoga, and living on the Surf Coast of Victoria for its beautiful beaches and wilderness. I love surfing, for the fun, mindfulness practice, and learning process.
