I could be wrong, but my hunch is that most people who are reading my blog are not in mourning for Michael Jackson or Farrah Fawcett. I am truly sorry for their untimely passing and respect their hard-earned celebrity stature. There are many places where this topic...
That title's a little misleading. I actually learned a lesson last week and had it reinforced by hearing a story about Lauren Bacall this week. I was invited to be included as part of a new web presence, which shall remain nameless, if I acted quickly and got in on...
I've worked with Arlyn over the course of a few different Mastermind Groups and have seen an evolution and unfolding of her imagination and skills that reinforces why I do this work. I'm not sure if everyone has the 20-20 vision to see the artist inside the...
Oftentimes, my favorite client stories are about converts. Such is the case with Sue O'Halloran who attended one of my Mastermind Group series last spring. Sue has a huge vision for helping women toward preventive health care. This undertaking involves an enormous...
One of the most dramatic professional changes I've been privileged to witness since I began coaching in 2002 is Jessica Bram's transformation from public relations practitioner to full-time writer. Jessica and I have worked together in just about every capacity I...

In the 10 minutes before my Mastermind Group session started a few weeks ago, my clients were chatting among themselves. The conversation was about me and what happens when others ask them about "working with Jane". I was all ears. There was a lot of energy in the...
A funny thing happens in my business. Every so often a client who left a session totally energized, on fire to reach her goals and thriving in her newfound commitment to her own success, will approach me a week or two later a bit downtrodden. "My husband thinks...
Diane Lohman, owner of Seed, is a member of one of my current Mastermind Groups. Her goal for January is to gross a specific dollar amount, to the penny, per month through her own contributions. Diane is a jewelry designer and has pieces available in several shops...
All of my coaching groups are on hiatus for the summer. My speaking kicks back into high gear mid-September. Several individual clients are taking a break from coaching over the summer. So I scheduled a brainstorming session with myself to figure out how to best...
