Inquiry About Working Together

“Well! Where do I begin? I started an engagement with Janice, mid-Covid, to develop a powerful keynote speech. But, instead, I got a coach who helped me navigate challenging times as I reinvented myself and my career. She gave me the words and the practice to hold my own as I worked through tough business negotiations, and I learned how to speak up for myself in a powerful, persuasive way that was still true to who I am. It’s a rare opportunity to work with someone who can help you measurably level up your abilities and performance. Janice was a critical catalyst for some long overdue mindset shifts that had kept me from becoming the top performer I know I am capable of being. ”

“I hired Janice to help me with my first keynote presentation. I’m a comfortable public speaker, but I wanted help taking it to a higher level. Janice was well worth the investment of time and money. From finding the right shape for the presentation to selecting anecdotes to watching multiple recordings (!)and providing feedback, Janice was there every step of the way. She has the rare gift of making you feel completely safe and supported while providing challenging and constructive feedback. I achieved my goal of delivering an excellent and well-received keynote, but more importantly, I learned much that will help me in feature endeavors. Hire Janice. You won’t regret it.”

“You have lifted me a mile above the ground!! Thank you for the bottom of my heart.”

“I worked with Janice over a six month period to help me overcome presentation anxiety. In our first meeting she said that she would get me to the point I would actually feel excited to present. I didn’t believe her, but after her coaching, practice, and repetition I delivered a presentation to an audience of two-hundred people that I actually enjoyed giving, and received rave reviews from the audience! Janice did exactly what she said. Thank you so much. ”

“I attended one of Janice's "Women's Presentation Workshops" and was most impressed. She organized a great event, in a forum that was engaging and encouraging. Her practical advice and tips for improvement were well received by all in attendance. She is sincere, a great listener and a natural teacher. I would highly recommend her!”

“She's open. She's wise. She listens. She hears what I have to say—my core message that's coming from inside me. And then she's able to help me refine that in words.”

“I sought out Janice to help overcome my anxiety around public speaking and fine tune my writing skills. I had a deadline to speak to a crowd of over 500 people and I wanted to convey to the crowd my sincere gratitude in a meaningful and professional manner. I learned much more than then I initially thought I would. Janice has the ability and the tools to cut away at the deeper levels to help find where the anxiety exists and why. Janice got me centered through varying techniques such as belly breathing, voice projection and rooting myself in the moment. Janice has an incredible ability to read people. At the initial meeting to review my first draft, she could tell I had a lot of outside help and was to call me out. Janice and I rewrote a genuine, concise and organic speech that truly was mine. My journey with Janice is an ongoing one and her guidance is immensely helpful for public speaking and my board work. I very much look forward to working with her on future projects. ”

“I reached out to Janice as I was struggling with some upcoming presentations I was doing for senior executives. While I had been doing presentations for years, I wanted to make these presentations stand out and had less than three weeks to prepare. Janice was a pleasure to work with. She was readily available with her time, flexible and adapted her approach to my needs. She provided me with assignments after each meeting so that I could bring my presentation - both the content and presentation of it - to the next level. Her approach balanced being supportive and encouraging all while pushing me to get to the next level. Given I was working with a short timeline, it was a lot of work and big time commitment on my part. The results were worth the effort. I was impressed with how great an impact Janice was able to have within a short time. I was blown away with the feedback I received from the executives following my presentations. I will continue to work with Janice in the future.”

“Janice has a knack for bringing out the best in speakers. She provides insightful and gentle critique, and helps her subjects make the most of their presentations. She's in your corner, giving you the guidance and direction you need without trying to shape or mould your flow. It was delightful moving through the process of creating my first TedX talk, for @TEDX KidsBC”

“You helped me so much, Janice! You would have been proud. People were coming up to me saying they felt my message and they thought I was so brave. The way I spoke and took pauses was very effective! I felt proud. You are a great teacher and coach!!! ”
