Approach to Coaching and Leadership

Jane's uses a solution-focused methodology to help “shift” client’s mind sets to enable a positive outcome. Her empathic approach facilitates both individual and teams to identify development needs and take ownership of solutions.

Her style is warm, humorous and practical, with a focus on confidence, motivation, awareness of behaviour patterns and the impact these have on others. Her passion for coaching is based on the enjoyment of motivating and mentoring other people and a belief that anything is possible if someone really wants it.  She believes that understanding one's personal values and "integrity gaps" with others creates a reference point to choose behaviours, make decisions
