Who is Jan?

I chose to be a career coach because I love helping people find success in their professional life. I enthusiastically approach each client with a positive, non-judgmental manner. I know I can make a difference for people as my track record over the past 15 years proves.

I consider myself your champion, helping to keep you focused and move forward. I aim to inspire confidence that successful change is possible. I keep informed about tips and trends in hiring practices, resume development and social media to provide constructive, up-to-date information.

Prior to founding Emerge in 2003, I was a recruiter. This experience gave me the ability to see the job search from the perspective of the employer. I also understand the job searcher's point of view. I know that it takes courage, direction and a plan to move forward.

I received my coaching training from the Coaches Training Institute (CTI), the premier program worldwide. Using the skillful listening and clarifying techniques I learned in coaches training, I am able to connect with my clients, understand what they value and learn what energizes them. I realize how important a satisfying career is to overall well-being.
