"The coaching sessions helped me set up a better balance between a demanding job and life-while maintaining work effectiveness; It gave me valuable  time to reflect on my leadership skills and style. I fully recommend this coaching."

Rosa, Senior Health Manager, Grafton

"My experience with Jan/Redgate Consulting  helped me to more clearly assess my own abilities and leadership qualities. I was able to create a little more flexibility in my work patterns immediately, while at the same time planning a more radical change. The processes taught me to be more pro-active. Jan enabled me to plan a transition from full-time work in my own business to having one day a week just for me. I now feel confident to gradually move to work part-time in a way that will maintain a good income. We also discussed all aspects of succession planning. The work/life balance exercise was particularly useful. I found my focus on work was not enabling me to spend much time with friends. I am changing that."

"I've been working with Jan Dent for several months now and I've found her approach to coaching to be extremely empathic. She has proved to be a natural guide to helping me to uncover insights about myself and devise my own solutions. The thing about Jan's approach is that she is gently persistent: her questions probe but are not uncomfortable and lead you to a deeper understanding of how you function at work. The written exercises and the 'contracts' you make during the session ensure that you carry out what is discussed with Jan and have enabled me to negotiate successfully through a tricky period at work."

Kate, Senior Media Executive,  Sydney

"Thank you for our session yesterday Jan. I found the visualisation exercise quite comforting - maybe because there seems to be so much uncertainty in the world at the moment. It made me feel that everything will pan out OK in the long run."
