My own life experience has taught me that following my heart and passion with career direction will bring the energy and joy to reach life goals. I believe life coaching helps you access your own knowing about your life mission.

I am writing in the third person, even though I am a staff of one. It is my hope that this information will help you decide to match me with your coaching or training needs.

For over twenty years, Janneke ("Yonica") Brown has successfully brought increased personal and professional growth to individuals and organizations. Her specialty is helping individuals enhance their intuition to pragmatically define and creatively reach their life goals. She enjoys emphasizing "intuitive intelligence" and "emotional intelligence" to help clients be who they are in the process of increased career success. She is particularly skilled at assisting clients who are at key points of success such as budding career development, advanced career recognition, or self-employment yet discovering frustration in forwarding their deepest interests. Janneke then empowers clients by providing strategic planning which furthers these interests in increasing: career satisfaction, work/life balance, profit, energy to develop and follow great intuitive hunches, and spirit~mind~body wellness.

Janneke attained a Master's Degree in Clinical Social Work at the University of Houston, and a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology at the University of Colorado at Denver. In addition to this formal training, she held increasingly responsible jobs providing clinical leadership, project administration, workshop planning/presentation, staff training, community college instruction, and treatment program development/restructuring. Consistent recognition for ability to: envision simple plans for complex organizational dilemmas; ability to integrate new and divergent ideas or departments; and skill sets for team building and problem solving, led to interest in coaching others Currently, advanced postgraduate study is being completed toward certification as a Master Personal and Executive Coach at the College of Executive Coaching - the leader in coach training for professionals with advanced degrees.
