Executive Coaching Client (Executive Director of Industry Association – name withheld for privacy)

Working with Jane was invaluable as I transitioned into my role as Executive Director. Her knowledge of nonprofit governance, leadership, and change management provided me with the tools and confidence I needed to navigate this new chapter. She offered thoughtful guidance, practical strategies, and unwavering support.  I’m incredibly grateful for her expertise and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to elevate their leadership.
