Jan runs Passion4living coaching, working especially with teachers who feel stressed and disillusioned or who are stuck in their work and want to move on.  She also has an interest in working with teenagers to help them achieve their full potential or resolve behaviour difficulties. 

This has come about after more than 27 years experience of senior management in education in a variety of areas including mainstream, special needs and behaviour support. She  developed an interest in coaching through using the skills in teaching and and gained her qualifications from two of the most renowned Life Coaches in the country:

• Fiona Harold wrote the Life Coaching Course for Newcastle College.

• Curly Martin of Achievement Specialists.

Jan also holds an NLP diploma and is at present working towards becoming an NLP practitioner

Jan is 53 and is happily married with three children - Robert 21, Catherine 18 and Chris 16.

2008 will be the year when she is able to run a 10k race in under 50 minutes.

She says "discovering the techniques of coaching is the best thing that ever happened to me (after my marriage and children). I have personally achieved so much , including a trek to Morrocco, which I would never have undertaken five years ago." 

Come and discover it for yourself.
