Testimonials

“Janis was my coach/mentor for two years, and what a difference she has made on my career, my approach, and the way that I look at my areas of opportunity! Janis is able to use her own experiences as a woman in an executive role, and her journey to get there to help mentor and provide examples that put into practice what I could be facing as well. She asks the right questions that get me thinking what the true issues are and gives me the homework and coaching to arrive and the solutions or potential ideas. Personally, I have grown so much the last two years, thanks in big part to her support, guidance, and honest and brilliant advice.”

CSMO, Marriott International, Caribbean & Latin America

“Janis has been my mentor/coach for over 13 years. She has navigated me through many ups and downs professionally. Her insight, wisdom, ability to help me see things from a different perspective and her willingness to tell you things you don’t always want to hear have been invaluable. I owe a lot of who I am as a leader to Janis’s coaching.”

Associate Director of Sales, JW Marriott, San Antonio, TX

“Kris helped me gain clarity to further understand my communication style and how I can elevate it to gain more alignment with the other members on my team.”

Vice President, Honor Health

“After spending a one-hour coaching session with Kris; I gained clarity on a question I had been struggling with for over 6 months.”

Vice President, Maritz

“Kris and I have the same Enneagram Profile. I feel like she “gets” me and knows what my strengths are and what areas I’m challenged with as a leader. I have an open, safe and confidential place to land with her. The time we have together allows me to unpack the stressors that come with leading a virtual team and how I can be a stronger leader.”

Director of Events, Illumina

“Like many in hospitality and tourism, I found myself at a pathway I didn’t expect after my job was eliminated. New to direct leadership and a recognized top 5% sales professional for Marriott, I was interviewing for both types of positions. Kris was a sounding board for my interviews that provided thought provoking questions to support my expectations, educated me on the latest and time proven leadership successes in our current landscape to help drive the conversations, and thoughtfully reviewed and recommended strategy on my portfolio. With her involvement in the world of leadership and executive business, Kris does a masterful job of formulating plans and connecting the dots – to support her clients navigation of both leading up to and during a high intensity interview. She coaches with passion, empathy and vulnerability and I can without a doubt say she was the driving force behind my success with both positions!”
