Raising a special needs son with severe autism and multiple medical conditions alone since 2008 has been challenging - curating new schools, doctors, therapists, dentists, friends, homes and support workers - as she and her family zig-zagged around the world. It's required Jane to be fiercely resilient, resourceful, tenacious, and faithful in the brightest outcome. Her global odyssey has equipped Jane with a dynamic range of competencies and expertise that draw on her years in the non-profit, media-communications, investment-finance, and healthcare.
Jane’s background at the executive level enhances her ability to coach complex issues in high-pressure environments with calm fortitude, adaptability, discretion, empathy, grit and unbridled optimism. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology in San Francisco, California, and a Graduate Certificate in Executive Coaching designation (an Accredited Coach Training Program through the International Coaching Federation) at Royal Roads University in British Columbia, Canada – the only executive coaching program offered at the Masters level in North America.
In 1997 in a galaxy far, far away Jane had a unique experience living and working with iconic Hollywood filmmaker George Lucas, who was directing Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace in London and Tunisia. Jane engaged daily with the legendary entrepreneur and creative Jedi who based his movies on the Hero's Journey framework of trusting your heart and intuition, feeling a sensation that you are being guided toward a particular destination and called for an adventure. In their quest for self-discovery and self-mastery, Jane often engages this framework in coaching clients, exploring the stages of the Hero's Journey with people to make profound personal and professional choices as the hero / heroine of their life.
