Boost community support for your local government and public sector project or program with Jan’s creative communications consulting and tailor-made training.
To know Jan is to appreciate that she’s on a mission to help local government and public sector professionals like you become confident communicators. She’ll equip you with the skills and tools you need to tell your story and engage your community, so you can get things done, save time and money, and build trust and reputation along the way.
As a trainer, speaker and consultant, I’ve spent most of my career working with staff and elected officials to implement vital public programs, from recycling to referendums – especially those programs that not everyone in a community may want – or want to pay for.
That’s why I’m so passionate about helping public sector professionals boost their ability to better inform and engage their communities on decisions that matter. Together we can connect and consult with our citizens, manage those issues, achieve our goals and enjoy the journey along the way!
