I’ve been working with Janet for a few years now and she’s helped me through a number of career growth and decision points. She helped me decide to stop freelancing and instead go in-house with a client. She helped me with being a first time manager. She’s helped me work through difficult situations with difficult people, making them less anxiety causing. Mostly, she’s helped me figure out what I really want out of career. She’s versatile, funny, sensitive, and wise.

Janet Slack helped steer me through career changes, life work revisions and at least one complete reinvention of myself. She showed me how to polish my relationships and skills, set realistic priorities and weigh my options with her patient, caring style. She is a master of powerful questions that got me to examine how I am really doing, not just how I say I am doing. Now on the other side of those upheavals, I realize how much she has taught me. Janet really knows her stuff.

Janet seems to always have her antenna out for “the new” so she has brought me a wide circle of important information for my business. For example, her ideas have helped my website traffic go up 25%. Everything seems more doable since I started coaching with her. Even though I’m an extraordinarily disciplined person, like everyone I sometimes struggle to stay on track. Janet gives me an anchor and support so I can get even more done; she is sensitive and focused and has contributed a richness to my life that goes beyond my business. There is a quality about her that helps me keep my spirit up even when I encounter difficulties and then I can remember the driving purpose I have for every day. Janet presents me with a personalized roadmap that doesn’t let me forget the forest just because I am concentrating on dealing with every tree. I’m no longer lost in day to day tasks, I have a strong direction.

It was so helpful to have Janet as our relationship coach after my sister and I became co-leaders of a huge community project. Before our coaching began, our relationship had turned into all work – we no longer did fun things together. Janet helped us clearly identify our roles in the project, share the spotlight and assess the differences in our strengths with honesty. The relationship coaching helped us stay away from being scattered and overwhelmed and made us remember at all times that the relationship was more important than the project. In the end, the project was a huge success and we had an even better version of our relationship than ever.
