I attended a workshop and talk hosted by Janine about using LinkedIn to help grow my business and connections. I was excited before the workshop as it has always been an area I wanted to learn more about and felt it could be a good platform for me but I didn't understand how I could use it. The content of the workshop was interactive as well as extremely informative, all delivered in an engaging and succint way. Janine was very easy to listen to and her ability to communicate the content kept me interested throughout. I went away with a completely different view of Linkedin and how I could utilise this platform to grow my business, and immeditely i started to post content! I wouldn't hesistate to recommend Janine as a trainer and speaker!

I was at your Linked In workshop this morning and I wanted to thank you for such a great session. I came away with so much I could put to use straight away. I’ve redone my headline, started to use the search function to make new connections and also looked at some hashtags I’m going to make use of! Thank you…. Every word you said was relevant and insightful!

We were looking for someone with concrete experience and expertise in talent management. Specifically about owning your own development and therefore career plan...in an energic and positive manner. From our first call Janine became an obvious choice. Her own experience of course, combined with her positive energy, helped make a lasting impact on the audience, and concretely help them visualizing what it all means. Call her, you will see.

Working with Janine is simply fantastic and she has supported me to take the steps that deep down I knew I wanted and needed to take. Our journey working together is still ongoing, and I haven't ended up in the place I originally thought I would, but rather the place I needed to - that is testament to Janine's skills as a coach and her ability to work with the individual client, rather than any pre-conceived notions or formulas. I always look forward to sessions with Janine and I appreciate her proactive check ins between them. She is not only a great coach, but an inspiration in her own right.

Janine delivered a talk for Timely Careers with the aim of supporting women to return to the workplace after a period of leave and helping them take the first steps in deciding the future of their career. Janine’s approach was practical and supportive while providing participants with the clarity they needed to develop their own personal action plan. I have no doubt that Janine has inspired confidence in our audience to carve out a career that works for them while allowing them the ability to manage their other commitments, such as family. I would recommend Janine to anyone who is looking for guidance and the ability to reflect on their own career goals.

Following your keynote talk at our event, thank you Janine - it was exactly what we wanted. Your career journey mixed with your life story so far, was inspiring and motivating. We were looking for professional experience including a innovative and technology focused angle to engage a wide audience and that’s exactly what you provided. The audience loved it with one example from a key client who provided feedback saying ‘Janine brought home to me the importance of encouraging people to strive to fulfil their dream and the positive impact technology can play. I look forward to her podcasts.’ I’d wholeheartedly recommend you and admired your passion and candour. Your involvement was an asset to our event. Thank you again.

I used to work with Janine many moons ago and have followed her career on LinkedIn over the years, so I was ready when the opportunity arose to invite her to drop some gems at Collinson, and she did not disappoint. Janine was a fantastic and engaging speaker, and she delivered such an interesting, thought-invoking, and action-oriented session that I know for sure landed positively with Collinson’s people.

We engaged with Janine to give a talk to our trainees and alumni about Navigating Career Development in Uncertain Times, and she certainly delivered. Covering topics from Leveraging your Unique Experience to Stand Out, Current Market Trends and How This Impacts You, to Building a Personal Brand using LinkedIn, and the Importance of strategic Networking, Janine’s talk was detailed and relevant, and drew on her personal experience to illustrate her points. The other attendees’ feedback was extremely positive, especially in regard to Janine’s overriding message about being pro-active with your career, not just letting it happen; looking at the lifestyle you are aiming to achieve, and not just the job. Also, looking forwards, realistically in the current climate maybe 18 months to 2 years (rather than the 5 year plan). A lot of the strategies/tools Janine suggested employing are actually free and easily accessible – another huge plus in the current climate of rising costs. We would definately recommend Janine as an engaging speaker, who knows her subject, but who also gets the listeners to really think about what they want and how they can go about it.

I've had the privilege of being Janine's business coach as well as hiring her to be a Program Coach to support clients in our coaching program. Her commitment to leadership, truly understanding the needs of clients she is serving, and her willingness to leave things better than she found them are unmatched. She is excellent at asking the right questions to properly diagnose the problem that needs to be addressed and then from there, leading the client to discover the solution. Working with Janine caused me to raise the bar for every other Program Coach we hired thereafter. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!
