Success Stories
“I came to Jane confused as to how to package and promote my speaking career going forward. I left with absolute brand-clarity, a rapidly growing social media presence and a host of new exciting speaking opportunities in the pipeline. How’s that for a worthy investment?”

Jane challenged me to think bigger about what I could accomplish in my business. And when I thought bigger, she had me think even bigger than that. The result was that I developed a more robust plan of action and that made all the difference.

Jane helped me discover my core message–not an easy task considering the complexity of what I do–but more importantly, she didn’t push her agenda. Jane worked within the vision I had for myself and made it work for me. One of the absolute best coaches out there if you want to be a success in the speaking business. Whoops, now I’ve revealed my secret weapon.

I continually work with Jane every time I am ready to reinvent or up my game. The last time I worked with Jane we shifted my message to include leading change in a fast paced and technological workplace- since shifting my brand promise and increasing my fees I am enjoying the business at a higher level than ever before. I will continue to keep Jane in my ‘back pocket’.

When I started working with Jane, just about everything about my business felt “muddled.” Jane helped me plod through the muck to gain clarity about my main focus and how to express it. Now I clearly know what I’m about . . . and so do prospective clients!

Working with Jane on my speaking business felt like I was training for the Olympics. Jane is quite literally a world class coach. Her ability to hone in on your areas of strength and weakness, provide concrete and highly actionable suggestions to propel your work to the next level, and truly delightful personality make you feel like a gold medalist in the making. And the real proof – after working with Jane, I was getting more booking at my dream fee. Hiring Jane as my speaking coach was one of the smartest career moves I’ve made.

Jane helped me focus on speaking on technology, even though I fought with her to speak on three other subjects! This one piece of wise counsel changed my speaking career in ways that now force me to admit that she has a much higher IQ than me…

Jane helped me focus my message from a convoluted seven points to a simple three points. The result is it’s easier for my clients to understand, remember and make meaningful changes in their lives. Steve Weber

When my wife, Darlene, and I first started working with Jane, I was very close to burning out. Within a relatively short period of time, we revamped our entire business and I was working less at much higher fees. Everything has changed about the way we do business. And we’re loving it!

You have helped me present what I do to the corporate market with confidence and clarity. People are more willing to pay me because of the value I show in my marketing. I’m getting more bookings at higher fees in more attractive markets.

As a newcomer to the speaking industry, I found myself overwhelmed with all of the options available for advancing my career. By working with Jane I was able to identify the right path to move my business to the next level. When I think of how to describe Jane, I think of the description I have heard about my favorite NFL coach, Bill Cower – she is
a “player’s coach” and she helped me understand what I needed to do and become successful!

My business has exploded since working with Jane – my fees have gone up substantially, my marketing materials are so much better, I signed my first book deal, and I’ve doubled my revenue from last year.

I have worked with three other professional coaches prior to our meeting. I’m thrilled to say that your style, your Ready, Aim, Fire system, and your follow through have, by far, created the best results. Your systematic approach was just what I needed to create, not only the plan, but the ability to execute it. Your insights in identifying my strengths, narrowing my focus, packaging them into my web site, and giving me the plan and the confidence to charge excellent fees for an excellent presentation, has launched my speaking career.

I was absolutely amazed at how fast I saw results! Within several weeks of implementing Jane’s suggestions, I was working less and accomplishing more. The result…by the second month of using Jane’s coaching, my sales had doubled. She has helped me become more organized and focused on what is important!

Jane is as consummate a coach as she is a professional. Joe Calloway recommended Jane to me and I never looked back. She assisted me in refocusing, narrowing down priorities and following through on my goal to take my business to another level. With her recommendations, suggestions and support, she brought her experience and insight into the speaking profession to my specific situation. As a result of Jane’s coaching, I am carving out a new pathway for success in

From a sales pro to a coaching pro – Wow! You’re wisdom, insights and ability to keep me on task have resulted in enormous success marketing my programs. Jane, this is how good you are: There is NO way I’m recommending you to anyone else who does sales programs. You’ve given me a competitive edge that springs from your wisdom, insights and experience. The vision you helped me cast for my speaking career has blossomed into success in many ways: higher fees, a great media kit and website, and a plan for products that will pay me well when I’m not on the road. Jane, anyone who is not 100% satisfied with how well they’re marketing their speaking programs needs to adopt you as their coach. Thank you for helping me (quickly) take more money home to my family!Jane, you’re my money-making muse!

Jane is fantastic! As someone just entering the professional speaking business – I had 200 questions and only 20 answers! Jane has helped me focus my presentation, improve my website and guide me around mistakes that I’m sure I would have made without her expertise! I’ve accomplished more in my first six months than I thought possible and, most importantly, am now booking well-paying gigs! Thanks Jane!
