Janie is an insightful executive coach who approaches the coaching relationship with humility, honesty and directness.

I found Janie to be highly effective at building trust quickly and creating a space where she could challenge me directly but in a non-confrontational way. Rather than bring prescriptive solutions, Janie supported me work through some workplace challenges by effective questioning and clarification.

I found Janie’s style helpful – she’s candid, pragmatic and straight forward – and I found her own experience as a People leader brought added value to the conversation.

Working with Janie has been an invaluable experience. Her guidance has enhanced how I approach the professional challenges facing a CTO. I highly recommend her coaching to any tech executive looking to accelerate their growth.

Over a six-month period Janie provided invaluable guidance during a critical growth phase of our company. Her tailored coaching helped me refine my approach with internal and external stakeholders to successfully drive our commercial strategy forward, build a high-performing team, and navigate the complexities of scaling in the pharma industry. Janie’s expertise, support and practical approach has been instrumental to our success, and I would have no hesitation in recommending her services

I have worked with Janie in various capacities for about ten years. She is the best People & Talent professional out there. She easily flexes between HR and recruiting as well as operating at a strategic level, whilst getting into the right level of detail. She cuts through the noise and gets to the crux of the issues (people and business) which is hugely impactful for her team/business partners/leadership team. I would work with Janie again in a heartbeat!

Janie helped us scope and build out foundational organisational infrastructure. Despite never meeting any of us in person and working from a different country, Janie tackled the challenge head on, leading by influence with confident expertise, cultural sensitivity, exceptional results orientation and a coaching mindset. Janie is an exceptionally astute thinker who knows all about best practice and is ready to apply it or throw it all in the bin, whatever the culture and context of the company requires. Janie’s expertise is both broad and deep and if you are looking for a highly effective operator, that’s Janie.

Janie was an invaluable asset to Trainline. She played a key role in helping me and the rest of the leadership team work out how to evolve our organisation to ensure that it remains fit for purpose through our various stages of growth. Her wealth of experience enabled her to seamlessly shift gears and drive our thinking across a broad set of issues including organisational strategy and design, incentive structures, talent acquisition, and people development. I would not hesitate to recommend Janie to any organisation looking for a strategic approach to HR.

Janie joined Trussle as an interim member of my Exec team to fill a critical gap in HR leadership across the business. She brought much needed strategic expertise on how to build and execute a well prioritised people strategy keeping a close eye on our messaging to ensure that employee engagement would follow. She was a great thought partner to me on strategic issues across the board. Her blend of energy, direct yet considered approach allowed her to successfully partner with and coach my Exec team as well as the People team themselves.

Janie helped us to embed a high performance culture by optimising our people operations. Janie listened closely to our team to understand our issues, and used her wealth of experience to provide insight and structure around the changes we should be making across performance management, feedback culture and career progression. A year on, we can see the lasting impact of Janie’s work.

Janie is the best executive coach I have worked with. She has helped me to improve my leadership skills making me a more effective leader as well as coaching me on strategic and day-to-day business topics. Janie uses her extensive experience to create outcome-focused business solutions. She quickly got a deep understanding of our business and therefore had an immediate impact on topics such as strategy, company reorganisation, team engagement and change management. My meetings with her are always excellent and actionable; she is structured and creates accountability, leaving me feeling invigorated and inspired.
