“When I went to the Dufferin Women in Business Event you were the Keynote Speaker at, I left feeling speechless. When I met you the first time I saw this gorgeous business owner and I assumed you were just lucky or wealthy. To know that you worked your butt off and came from nothing makes me respect you even more. You are truly a role model and I really believe you can make a difference in so many women’s lives. I would love to see you speak at high schools or colleges so you can empower women. I really think you have found your calling!”

”I attended a fitness convention a few years ago and was underwhelmed by the various speakers. That was only until Janet-Lynn took the stage and singlehandedly turned the fading lights in the audience into alert and engaged bright lights. Janet-Lynn is very charismatic on stage and has a way of connecting with individuals in the audience that makes everyone feel like she is talking to them directly.
She is one of those speakers you look forward to seeing.”

“As to the value for my money? Absolutely! I would recommend Janet-Lynn in a second. She is very different than I am, and I believe this has been extremely helpful. I realized that surrounding oneself with people who share similar view points to mine doesn’t necessarily lead to growth, and now I truly see that life is all about growing. Janet-Lynn makes me look at things in new ways while helping me to adapt both my personality and lifestyle.”

“What I appreciated the most while working with Janet-Lynn was her ability to mirror my thoughts, and then articulate what’s going on based on what she senses. This created a lot of awareness and led to many “Aha moments!” Her interest in my life and her genuine desire to help has led me to rethink my own career choices. I am now working towards my own life coaching certification. Thank you Janet-Lynn!”

”Janet-Lynn reached out to me at a time when I was feeling vulnerable. With her compassionate manner and heartfelt articulation Janet-Lynn made me see things in a more positive, like as in glass half full not empty. I was struggling with being bullied at school and Janet-Lynn helped to motivate me to put me first. And with her coaching I became involved in anti bullying campaigns both at school and my community. I would not be where I am today without Janet-Lynn’s kind heart and determination. Thank you for being my mentor through my struggles and for being a role model to look up to.”
-Ava Thompson
“I just wanted to thank Janet-Lynn for teaching me that perseverance is about falling down and choosing to get back up. My life has been filled with struggles and set backs to a point of wanting to give up. Janet-Lynn has helped me see a silver lining in both failure and success. Through her guidance and enthusiasm Janet-Lynn has shown me that if and when you set your mind to something, no matter how difficult, you can strive for and achieve success. Janet-Lynn has encouraged me to pursue my dreams, and that with hard work I can and will press on. There will always be set-backs. But Janet-Lynn has made me see that for every step back, I can choose and will persevere for two or three steps forward.”

The Zero to Fierce in 60 Days Program
Before working with Janet-Lynn,
1. My marketing plan was not going well and was a disaster after significant money spent
2. Executing my business model for the goal of it operating without me was challenging
3. Establishing the culture of my business and getting employees to execute my vision was extremely difficult after failed interview sessions
Things Janet-Lynn helped me with:
– Proven best practices of management of employees and setting my expectations as to their performance
- Where to plug into my business, identifying where me as an owner, should spend my time and the direct benefit that correlates with profits not losses
-Providing real action plans to resolve my business problems
Where I am right now?
– Having Janet-Lynn as a coach was like someone had breathed life back into me and my business
– I had sleepless nights and was surrounded by people who kept highlighting my weakness
– No judgment, Janet-Lynn provides laser focused tasks for me to implement; it was like giving me a blueprint that I never had
I have had coaches that will give you templates and fluff that is not useful to your situation, or frankly has not dealt with the kind of challenges you face, but feel they can advise you. Janet-Lynn never judged me but helped me focus on what I specifically needed to implement, in order to be profitable; being part of Janet-Lynn’s coaching program has increased my revenues.

”From our first meeting Janet-Lynn really made me think about what it was I wanted to do. Together we made a plan to structure my goals in a way that I’d never thought of before, helping me focus on the things that really mattered to me in life. By the end of her amazing program, I was confident that I could achieve my goals, ultimately finding my dream job.”
Marcie Brown, Sacramento, California
“I started having life coaching sessions with Janet-Lynn after meeting her at a health and wellness event. I was overweight and felt so bad about myself both mentally and physically that it was affecting all areas of my life. Overeating and making excuses became my MO and my marriage was in trouble because my self-esteem and feelings of self-loathing were making it impossible for me to feel like an equal. Janet-Lynn really listened and was direct and honest in her approach to helping me become self motivated. Change really is possible, sometimes we only need someone in our life to listen and believe in you. I will forever be grateful to Janet-Lynn. I have lost 50 pounds and can finally buy clothes from my favourite designer, which is something I’ve never been able to do. If you want to reach your goals and dreams, contact Janet-Lynn and she will give you the tools you need!”
Nancy Furtado, Toronto, Ontario.
“I signed up with Janet-Lynn and immersed myself in her lessons after I had become desperately unhappy and stressed at work and had spent several years trying to find another job. Janet-Lynn helped me to figure out what type of job I wanted, feel more confident about myself and my abilities, and provided me with useful books and websites meant to help me stay on track. By the end of our time together, I was convinced I wanted to follow in her footsteps and help others get out of their rut. I am actively taking courses which will enable me to coach others. I look forward to working with Janet-Lynn again with her “maintenance package.” I’m so excited for my life to unfold. Thank you Janet-Lynn.”
Sarah Crawford, Orlando, Florida.
“I contacted Janet-Lynn after taking time off work due to stress and anxiety which had severely incapacitated me. At that time I was unable to think clearly and she helped me to organize my thoughts with the questions that she brought to our phone meetings. She helped me to re-evaluate what was important to me and whether I was willing to make the sacrifices needed to achieve what I wished to do with my life. I always looked forward to our meetings as Janet-Lynn has such an easy manner. Her sessions were always informative and her enthusiasm sparked me into action. She offered me lots of support during a very difficult period in my life. Her positive attitude will remain with me as I continue to work towards my goals. I highly recommend this program to anyone struggling with life.”
Caroline Bennett, Vancouver, B.C.
“Samantha says…”Janet-Lynn has an upbeat manner and is very positive. It was great to look at my life through a different coloured lens. This exercise enabled me to really see where I was and where I wanted to go as I began to focus on my dreams and improve in several areas of my life. I found that the sessions were a pleasurable experience as they provided lots of positive reinforcement and a framework to help me identify the specific changes I wanted to make. In summary, Janet-Lynn has enabled me to transform my life and I will be forever grateful.”
