A Heart for People.

A Vision for Impact.

Hi, I’m Jana

A coach, trainer, and people-first leadership advocate. My faith is the foundation of everything I do. I believe each person is uniquely created with purpose and potential, and that no one is an accident. At the heart of my work is a deep conviction that people matter—because they matter to God. Whether you're leading a team or learning to believe in yourself again, the potential for growth and transformation is already within you—you just need someone to help draw it out.

Why I Do This Work

I didn’t grow up thinking I had anything to offer.

In fact, my high school senior yearbook “talent” was literally my shyness—something I was embarrassed by then, and laughed about (after burning that yearbook!). I believed I was always the one with less to contribute—less confidence, less charisma, less value. If I did muster the courage to speak up, my words were often overlooked while someone else’s were praised as “brilliant.”For a long time, I believed I had missed out when the talents were handed out.But that wasn’t true.I eventually discovered that I do have something unique to offer—my own blend of gifts, strengths, and insights that can make a real impact. That realization changed everything. And now, I’m passionate about helping others experience that same transformation.

What I Bring

I love helping people uncover their gifts and walk their path to greatness—whether that’s in their personal growth or as leaders in their organization.

My deep love for learning fuels my work, but it’s the opportunity to share that knowledge—through coaching, training, and development—that brings me joy to serve others well, I’ve pursued professional certifications that allow me to work effectively with both individuals and teams. Everything I offer is built on a foundation of care, clarity, and a desire to see others thrive.

My Approach

When I work with individuals, I help them silence the inner critic and recognize their worth.

When I work with leaders and teams, I help shift the culture—from top-down management to people-centered leadership that fuels productivity, retention, and wellbeing.

Because when people feel seen, heard, and valued, they don’t just perform better—they become better. And that ripple effect can change lives, teams, and entire organizations.
