Why We Love Jane

Jane’s approach to financial coaching goes straight to one’s motivations, making it incredibly “real”. Where many would refer to past earning and spending history to establish budgets, Jane looks at why we handle our money the way we do. She links financial goals to what we fundamentally want out of life. The focus is on heart, not our wallet.

Q&A with Jane:

We say members of Cowork Frederick are “status-quo disrupters, a little renegade, a little unconventional”. How does that apply to you?

After fifteen years in the financial services industry, I kept seeing a need for people to understand how to manage their everyday finances. Even the clients that had a high net worth struggled with making financial decisions around prioritizing their spending, how to save more and gaining clarity on “why they do what they do” with their money. After living through my own messy money story and the resulting shame and guilt I knew that there were others who were experiencing overwhelm with. their money. I listened to the little voice in my head telling me that my calling was in this arena of finances..

What about your career fulfills you and keeps you going?

My career as a Certified Financial Coach is fulfilling, as I witness positive change in my client’s emotions and behavior with money leading to lifelong confidence with their finances. I develop a collaborative relationship with each client, empowering them to move forward with financial confidence. I needed someone like me during my money struggles and wish I had a Certified Financial Coach that could have guided me in overcoming the obstacles that I had faced.

Which of the 8 guiding values defined by Cowork Frederick members speaks to you?

Collaboration. Each client is unique and learns in their own way. I take pride in working with each client with a collaborative approach, where we work as a team in developing action steps that will result in a personalized plan to manage their money for a life time.

Any financial tips in these times of COVID-19?

Absolutely. Check out Coronavirus, You, and Your Money – my blog about managing your finances during this time period.
