Jan has worked to develop leaders and their teams for many years.
She believes that work should be enjoyable – even fun – especially since most of us spend more time at work than anywhere else.
It drives her mad thinking about all the people who don’t enjoy their work.
From personal experience, backed by research, she knows that the most frequent reason people dislike their work is because of their leader or manager. And that is the reason Jan chose to specialize in working with leaders to develop a take-charge, make-it-happen, inspiration style of leadership.
The result is improved morale and productivity. Team members are more engaged. And overall performance is higher. It’s a win-win-win-win for everyone.
In addition to decades of hands-on experience, Jan earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from UNC-Chapel Hill, and Master of Science in Organizational Leadership from Colorado State University – Global. She is also a Certified Graduate of Coach University, the Management Development Institute (UNC-CH) and the Young Executives Institute (UNC-CH).
From looking around on this site, you will see that Jan hasn’t stopped exploring and learning. One of her favorite pastimes is interviewing business leaders – looking for stories she can share with Business Class clients and subscribers. Jan says:
“I learn new things every day and love sharing these lessons and insights with others. It’s an absolute thrill for me when I hear that someone read, heard or saw something – on our site, in a retreat, workshop, or individual coaching session – that caused a shift or aha that enabled them to do their work better and enjoy it more. Which usually enables them to take charge in more effective ways, make things happen and inspire others to do the same.”
