Meet Jan
 
My certificates provide tangible evidence of qualifications gained. 
Intangible gifts come from knowing the importance of authenticity, empathy, kindness, and caring. I respectfully support clients on their personal journey of self discovery.  My trainings assisted my own personal growth in the following way:

* NLP expanded my model of the world
* Neuro Semantics gave my model higher meaning & understanding
* Life Coach training broadened and extended my horizons
* ICF credentialing took me to a new platform of professional growth
* Certifying as a Meta NLP/NS Trainer increased my overall skills
* Coach-U and Navigational Coach Facilitation training gave me 
   confidence and took my presenting skills to their next dimension

My REAL growth has occured from putting this accumulated knowledge into "every day" practice.  That's when personal mastery truly beings to take shape.  

Prior to Coaching
I completed nurse training many years ago and on returning from overseas moved into health care administration. I ran my own secretarial/administrative contracting business and worked in a variety of roles and environments within New Zealand and overseas. 

Now self employed and highly qualified in self development I provide coaching, training and facilitation. Supporting personal clients on their journey to self discovery, self leadership and self actualisation.  And through training, assisting staff appreciate and learn the real skills and techniques of coaching.  Once they know HOW coaching works they introduce it within their organisations and the company grows as a "unit" in so many different ways.   

My coaching specialty niche is grief, emotional awareness and self actualistion

My role is to extend and expand your thoughts so you develop your own strategies for dealing with any given issue. I listen and hear what is being said. My coaching is not a prescription with set answers for every situation. Your belief patterns determine your comfort zone. Periodically beliefs need to be revisited especially when they affect, and, in extreme cases, even govern your perception of yourself, your abilities, your potential and your opportunities. 

My questions seek to assist you to identify, clarify, and focus completely on what you want from your life. Being asked the right questions permits you to discover, create and develop the skills you need to transform your life the way you want it to be. 
Expect to have fun too.

My Passion is supporting people reach their full potential and capacity.

Working alongside you in a non-judgmental, encouraging, challenging, supportive manner, we start from where you are at. Coaching is about YOU. It's YOUR journey and YOUR agenda.  
 
Together we discover your goals, your values, your beliefs and your vision

We work as a 'success team" in a professional partnership of mutual respect and trust.  What I have learned along the way is that learning is not a destination, it is a journey of self discovery.

Part of my personal journey has involved UNlearning in order to RElearn what fits best with who I am  NOW.  Improving has kept me on the pathway of a "life long learner".  Now I appreciate certificates only confirm a personal commitment and completion of an action. They are the tangible evidence of goals set and a confirmation of outcomes met. The certificates on my wall have assisted me to acknowledge personal achievements however the learnings from these trainings have assisted me to evolve as a person. As I continue learning and enjoying new levels of self understanding I realise those are the intangible and personal gifts received from the effort put in.    

If you would like support on your own journey towards authenticity, empathy, kindness, non-judgmental listening and an ability to ask questions with no embedded "suggestions," I'd be honoured to be your personal coach.
