Background
Jan’s corporate career focused on leadership, talent and individual and organisational performance.
Jan’s background is originally as a Psychologist in Health Management and Behavioural Medicine before shifting to business strategy, organisational culture change and performance improvement management consulting with Coopers & Lybrand Consultants (prior to becoming PWC) and at Ernst & Young, where she developed the foundation design and case-study work for the Organizational Culture and Organizational Change methodologies. Jan established the Group HR executive role for Village Roadshow establishing organisational operations for international expansion, and then held a Group HR specialist succession management role at ANZ Bank, where she designed and managed the top 100 leadership talent strategy for the globalisation of the ANZ Group.
After a career in consulting firms and Group HR, Leadership,Talent and Succession Planning roles, Jan has coached and consulted independently since 1997 and has pioneered the application and teaching of evidence-based Coaching, Strengths, Positive Organisational Scholarship, Positive Psychology and Appreciative Inquiry in Australia, specifically with application to women's leadership, career progression and career transition, and global leadership development. She was introduced to the first Australian Positive Psychology Conference as the 'midwife of Positive Psychology' in Australia."
Jan's work has delved continuously deeper into the science of leadership and mental performance, establishing global connections and relationships with academic thought leaders, and her curiosity has led to studies in neurobiology and neuroscience.
