Coaching Experience:
Jane has worked as an executive coach primarily with small to mid-sized entrepreneurs and leaders in a range of fields including manufacturing, stockbrokerage, software, religious organizations, and fire-fighting departments.
In 2001, she founded the Human Systems Institute and has been training organizational consultants and leaders, and medical and mental health experts in a new method of facilitating change in human systems. She teaches this yearlong training program in the U.S., Canada, and Hong Kong. Her recent Hong Kong class consists of half Chinese and half expatriates from seven European countries. In 2004, she was on the faculty of the first International Organization Constellations training Intensive held in The Netherlands, and has been invited back for the 2006 Intensive. In March, 2006, she was a presenter and speaker at the 1st Asia Bert Hellinger Conference held in Taipei, Taiwan. Jane has given workshops in Guangzhou and Shanghai, China, as well as Canada. In 2005 and 2006, she was invited to present week-long workshops in Family Constellations at Esalen in California. Her workshops always contain a strong element of teaching and expanding upon the principles of this work.
Expertise:
The foundation of Jane’s coaching expertise lies in her unique understanding of non-verbal communication patterns, group dynamics and a sophisticated model of communication called “Coordinated Management of Meaning.” She also has special training in systemic analysis of team behavior.
Jane has an uncanny ability to hear what is not being said, and to skillfully unpack the assumptions behind what is being said that stand between a leader, the team and their success. Jane’s broad range of experience from high tech to the fine arts allows her to work with people who run the gamut from “left-brained” analytical thinking to “right brained” creative conceptualizing. Working within a systems and communication framework, Jane enables leaders and their teams to quickly discover ecological and effective solutions to real world problems. This, combined with her practical experience as an engineer and manager in a high tech company and her own experience in creating and running two businesses, gives her a powerful edge in understanding the concerns and needs of business leaders.
Industry Experience:
Jane was the first woman engineer hired by her division of Tektronix, Inc. in 1978. She introduced JIT manufacturing principles to her division and held various project and new product introduction management positions, including a position as manufacturing engineering and quality manager in a start-up company within Tektronix. In 1987 Jane left Tektronix, returned to school in the fine arts and started and ran a profitable fine arts studio. When injuries forced her to close this business, Jane founded the Human Systems Institute to introduce a new method of quickly facilitating positive and lasting change in human systems to the U.S. In October, 2005, she sponsored and organized the first U.S. Conference in this method in Portland, Oregon USA.
Education and Training:
Jane is currently a doctoral student in the Fielding Graduate Institute in Human and Organizational Development. She has a Bachelors degree in Chemistry from the University of Oregon. In addition, Jane is a certified Master Practitioner of Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) with advanced certification in Health and Wellness, and is a Certified Professional Behavioral Coach. Jane also has extensive training in Group Dynamics and Systemic Constellation Work, a solution-focused method of quickly diagnosing and finding the best solutions to complex problems in organizations.
Personal Interests:
Jane is very interested in multicultural communication, enjoys travel and lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband of 25 years and three pampered cats.
