Background

About Janet Stokes

I’m a professional, ICF accredited coach and CPA, who works with leaders that value authenticity and transparency as a way to create bottom-line results. I’m skilled at bringing clarity to root issues and patterns that inhibits a leader’s forward momentum, as well as reestablishing confidence in challenging situations. My earlier career path includes working in the sensitive tax areas of estate planning and divorce, which developed my ability to articulate difficult information in a way that promotes learning, but respects the humanity of the situation. My current coaching practice utilizes mindfulness strategies to create a leadership environment of trust and credibility. Neuroscience and energetics are foundational in my coaching style. Right and left brain approaches to facilitate full access to human potentiality is employed, so that leaders feel empowered to create sustainable solutions that make sense, feel right and inspire continued action. I believe coaching is part skill, part art. Effective coaching requires a level of skill that is learned through formal training and experience, and an art to sense what direction is best served in the moment. Without both, results are often surface level with limited personal long term growth. For 16 years I’ve been a devoted yoga practioner, and recently became certified as a meditation teacher. Through these daily practices, I embody the art of coaching, and serve clients at a high level. I bring a presence that connects in a professional and profound manner, supporting my clients’ shifts from transactional to transformational.
