Testimonials
I coach a diverse range of people, from different backgrounds, disciplines and levels of seniority. Here’s what they have to say about their experience of working with me.
Janette provided me with valuable coaching over a number of months. I found that she quickly established a calm environment for our sessions, both establishing trust and listening attentively to support me in strategising and finding solutions and pathways forward. Janette was fantastic at asking open-ended questions to challenge me and my thought process. I appreciated her approach to goal-setting at the end of each session to maintain traction and also to the self-confidence she helped me to build within my working environment.

My coaching journey with Janette over the course of a year provided me with much more that I had expected. Janette has the ability to create a safe environment, she has brilliant listening and reflecting skills that create focused and direct discussions. Janette was amazingly generous with her time and she provided me with additional support and signposting to help me with my goals. I would highly recommend Janette as a coach and would love to work with her again in the future.
— Angela Whiting, Supply Chain Professional
Janette has supported me as a coach over the past two months. I would highly recommend Janette as a coach. She guided me over a two month period which proved significantly beneficially to my work and personal approach to my career. Janette has very committed to supporting this, going above and beyond the initial pull for her time. Her approach was very engaging and supportive and I thoroughly enjoyed each session. She used a variety of different approaches so we could explore together the topics at hand.
— Caroline Holdstock, Supply Chain Director
Janette was both my mentor and subsequently a coach for several years. She helped me hone my skills to secure a secondment in a totally different function. She connected me to others in the organisation. She brainstormed different career paths with me. In my experience Janette was an amazing mentor and coach as she has your best interests always front and centre. She challenges your thinking and guides you with empathy and care. Later when I went on a secondment externally Janette became a job plus coach and helped me understand what it meant for my career and how to change Strategies for securing my next role. I would totally recommend Janette both as a coach and mentor. She flexes between these roles really well as needed by coachee/mentee.

Janette was my designated coach in a leadership development program in GSK. From our first meeting, I have been impressed with Jannette’s coaching style. As we got to know each other over the last year, I’ve gained a deeper appreciation and respect for her coaching skills. Janette is empathetic, kind and is the embodiment of what a great coach should be. I have benefited a lot from our coaching sessions and lucky are her future mentees!

I am recommending Janette as a highly skilled coach
I worked directly with Janette as part of GSK’s Job Plus coaching scheme. Janette coached me across 8 separate 1 hour sessions over a 6 month period. Janette was highly skilled in this role and demonstrated strong interpersonal skills. This was extremely valuable for my development as a leader within GSK.
— Chris Jones, CMC Development and Commercialisation Leader
I had the pleasure of working with Janette as part of GSK’s Job+Coaching program and it was a tremendous!
We connected and Janette truly took the time to engage and listen to what area’s I wanted to focus on for my development. She is a great listener and really has a knack for getting to both the spoken and non-spoken areas for development. What was even more impressive was that we were continents away and in different business units, yet the Coaching she gave me was very relevant for me in my role in Consumer-US at GSK.
I would highly recommend Janette as a coach!
— Brad Wingo, Sales Operation Manager
I very highly recommend Janette’s coaching skills. She was my coach earlier this year and she really helped me go through a blocking point, listening carefully, guiding me, asking the right questions, summarizing and helping me reflect so that I can find the reasons of my issue and how to unblock it! She was very intuitive and showed great empathy.
— Aurelie Farfaro, EU Regulatory Strategy & Innovation Lead
Janette supported me to achieve my coaching goals. I really appreciated the open and calm nature of Janette, to which I felt comfortable in trusting Janette very quickly. I was able to self-reflect and in a short space of time become more self-aware and confident in who I am. This was supported by Janette’s open-ended questions, active listening and working with me on my coaching journey.
I would highly recommend Janette!
— Joshua Stinson, HR Business Partner
Attending the coaching sessions has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. They have far exceeded my expectations, helping me to understand myself more clearly and identify the action plans needed to stay aligned with my career goals. Janette helped me better understand the boundaries I set between my work and personal life, while also encouraging me to reflect on what defines a true vocation for me, as opposed to just a job. I believed I had developed resilience when I first moved to the UK for my PhD, navigating the significant culture shock of transitioning from Eastern to Western environments. However, the shift from academia to industry has presented its own challenges and made an equally profound impact. Rebuilding resilience and cultivating strong rapport to successfully integrate into a new corporate culture have proven essential, and these skills are not only critical but highly transferable across different professional setting
