She serves on the board of Operation Exodus, an organization which provides tutoring and mentoring to Latino youth in Washington Heights and the Bronx. Jane is passionate about helping individuals flourish in their workplaces and in their communities.

I worked with Jane for over an 8 month period (once every 4-6 weeks), as my company saw me as a 'high potential' leader and assigned me to her as my coach. During that short time frame, we completed an objective assessment of my strengths and weaknesses as a manager. Once that was done, she worked with me on soft skills development, including assertiveness training and presentation skills enhancement, and helped me to develop a game plan for the rest of my career in this industry. More recently, I have been called upon to give dozens of large group presentations given my new role as a major point of contact for the merger integration process. With the coaching and mentoring support I received, I was ready. The quality of her work, her assessment and coaching skills are unmatched by few. We were a true partnership.
