CEO, Bisousweet Confections

As a food manufacturing CEO, I was drowning in to-do lists, constantly behind, and unknowingly bottlenecking my company’s growth. I expected Janet to help me ‘get organized.’ Instead, she asked: Imagine it’s December 31st, 2025. What would make you proud, successful, and happy? That question changed everything. Janet helped me zoom out, set meaningful milestones, and build a system to stay focused. More than that, she taught me to be realistic with my goals, adapt quickly, and lead with confidence. Her belief in me reignited the spark that made me start this company 20 years ago. Now, I lead with clarity, purpose, and renewed energy. Working with Janet isn’t just coaching—it’s transformation.

Before working with Janet, my career search felt like navigating a maze blindfolded. The 8-week program wasn't just another generic course; it was a structured, personalized framework that gave me the confidence I desperately needed. The exercises Janet gave me provided real opportunities to reflect on what was important to me and what my strengths are, which was invaluable for my self-discovery. The biggest 'ah-ha' moment? Understanding the true power of networking! Plus, Janet went above and beyond, meeting with me during a critical crunch time, which made all the difference. If you're serious about your career journey, this program is a game-changer.

Before working with Janet, I struggled to manage challenging team members. I struggled to "manage up" correctly. She gave me the tools to do both. Through 1:1 coaching, I learned how to build trust with my team members and work on shared goals versus individual goals. Janet helped me identify my strengths, and now I will do more strategic and impactful work with those strenghts. Her guidance is actionable, which makes her a truly outstanding coach. If you’re seeking support on your professional journey, Janet is the one to call.

Janet offered a "Wheel of Life" exercise that was especially tranformative. It helped me realign my personal goals. I went back to work I had done before and even filed a patent for an idea I forgot about. I redesigned the product and I'm hopeful it is a success! Janet and I also talked about the merits of networking. I reconnected with coworkers, neighbors, old friends and started to build strong, meaningful connections again.
