Jan has been an integral part of my communications career with the City of Nelson. I have attended a number of her workshops and webinars, which have added value to all of the work that I do. In addition, Jan has been inspirational and a true mentor through her communications coaching and support, as I navigate my way through the local government communications world, including how to effectively respond to social media commenting. Jan brings a great deal of professionalism and insight in everything that she does, and I truly appreciate her commitment to me and my organization. She is always a phone call or text away, which is an added bonus.
