Carine from West Midlands – October 2023

Been battling for the past 3 years with a break-up and also dealing with some childhood trauma.

The universe really made it happened.
Several times I wanted to sign up for some online consultation that you see randomly on the  internet. But my spirit wasn’t ready and something inside me was holding back.
And through the course of a work program, I met Jan.
I am so lucky because she can relate. She will guide and listen. You just have to be ready.
Yes, be ready to ask for the help you need. Be ready to do some of the exercise. One of the beautiful presents that a human being can offer to himself is to look after yourself. And is ok to not be ok. Be prepared, Jan will make you realise that you got a purpose.
God has shaped me, transformed me and gave me peace and maturity 🙌🏿🙌🏿
I will definitely recommend Jan 120%. “

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Jan over the past year. The dedication, passion, and professionalism are unmatched and evident in her eloquent speech and calm demeanor. A mountain of knowledge, always at hand to offer guidance and empowerment into the right channels, taking me that one step closer to understanding the road to success. 21, young and naive pursuing business ventures, your inexperience becomes evident and Jan has been there to help me every step of the way.

Vera Okojie’s Testimonial

8 years ago I was invited for an insight day at IBM London offices. I remember walking up to the big and shiny building in such awe, it was a completely new world! There I met the amazing Ms Jan Sinclair who gave me the advice to ‘study hard, start Linkedin and build my network!’. 6 years later, now an undergraduate at the University of Warwick, I got in touch with Jan via LinkedIn about advice on next steps. Again she gave me spot-on advice ‘realise the opportunity of technology!’. I went on to complete a placement year at Microsoft and a summer internship at Google. 3 days ago we spoke and she gave me advice on navigating life after university! All in all, I cannot stress the importance of mentors and appreciating their impact at key stages in your professional life! Thank you Jan for believing in me at the age of 14, now age 22 and beyond!

Life’s most urgent and pertinent question is what have I done for others? Martin Luther King.

Dr King would be just as pleased and grateful to Jan as I am.
Jan serves others with integrity, love and commitment.
I met Jan when the organisation I was working for  approached her company for support with their project. Jan’s discerning eyes of a true coach saw I had potential. Where Jan stands out from the rest is that she took action to  bring out my potential.
Jan used her time, knowledge and experience to add value to my life. She has the skill to ask powerful questions to get you reflecting. She is a finisher who will not stop until she has completed what she commits to.
The coaching I received from Jan took me to places I never dreamed I will be able to ever get to.
Thank you Jan.
May you go on to inspire many more lives.

I re-established my connection with jan  by chance during my first redundancy experience. Her expertise in coaching and development were invaluable during this time. Jan provided an independent view point for me to Evaluate my needs and wants for a job, formulate my strengths, prepare for interviews and set smart objectives throughout my redundancy experience. I found our regular chats so useful (and I can’t stress this enough) to keep the momentum of searching for work manageable in line with day to day life and previous job commitments. Since finding work, she’s regularly followed up with me,  to help continue my development. Her style is personal, and i find she listens before helping me to devise a plan through my recent challenge I was/ am  facing whether this was finding jobs to apply for, cv writing, interview prep, doing a big job assignment etc .  I cant thank her enough and would recommend her services as everyone needs a Jan

I have known Jan for a very long time, with our working relationship developing into a friendship over time. Jan is truly a compassionate and empathetic person and has been quite instrumental in where I am in my career today. She took me under her wing, coached me and guided me from a person who struggled to see her skills and talents, to someone who isn’t afraid to shine and stand out! Her caring, encouraging and compassionate approach truly brings out the best in anyone, along with her amazing business skills. She’s always challenged me to “do better and be better” and isn’t afraid to instill some tough love when needed. The one thing I know for sure is whatever I am struggling with, whether professional OR personal, I can always rely on Jan to drop her gems of wisdom and offer me a different perspective – of course it helps that strategic thinking is one of her best skills!
Another thing I love about Jan is her desire to support, encourage, mentor etc the younger generation. She is always willing to support anyone who is happy to be supported and who is willing to out in the work, and always encourages her mentees to do the same.
Trust me when I say that choosing Jan as a coach, whether personal OR professional, is probably going to be one of the best decisions of your life. Be sure to jump at the chance if the opportunity arises! You won’t regret it 🙂
In 2016 I had pretty much given up any real hope of buying a property.  My deposit was okay but not substantial.  It wasn’t long after I started viewing properties that I realized any properties within my budget would require a lot of work and/or were in areas I did not want to move to.
A chance meeting with Jan resulted in us arranging to discuss where I was in life’s journey and what more I wanted to achieve.  I was sure changing jobs was the answer!
Through talking to Jan she helped me to clearly identify my priorities and so  my search for a place I could call my own was revived.  I was not hopeful but Jan insisted I should not give up – that I should continue to explore all my options.  She was very positive and helped me to start believing that anything is possible.  I had to dig deep.
I was also able to talk about life in general and was re-assured to know that out discussions would remain confidential.
In April 2017 I was handed the keys of what is now my home.  “Thank you Jan!”
