Virago Coaching

Talent brought you this far.
Let's go further.

The next level of growth isn't about learning more. It's about knowing yourself more deeply.

Let's have a conversation
The leaders who find me have usually tried the conventional route.

They've done the programs, read the books, attended the offsites. And they can feel that something is still missing.

If you're looking for the kind of coaching that starts with who you are, not just what you do, we should talk.

Something told you the usual approach wasn't going to get you where you need to go. Trust that instinct.

The work

This is the real work.

Together, we go beneath the surface of leadership to uncover what's really driving your patterns, your decisions, and your presence. We look at all of it, the strengths and the shadows, and we build from there.

When you lead from a place of genuine self-knowledge, everything changes: how you show up, how your team responds, and how your career feels from the inside.

What this
work looks like

A six-month engagement built entirely around you.

We begin with deep identity work: understanding your Enneagram type, exploring the patterns that drive your leadership, and examining the beliefs and stories you carry about who you are as a leader.

From there, we build. We work on presence, boundaries, communication, and the inner grounding that makes all of it sustainable.

This is not a template. There is no script. Every engagement is shaped by who you are and where you need to go.

What leaders say about this work

It is truly difficult to summarize the impact 6 months of collaboration with Janice has had; it is compounded daily and simply unquantifiable.
I sought out Virago Coaching after attending Janice's session at the INFORMS conference. Her session stuck with me for a year before I realized if I got that much out of 45 minutes, it would surely pay tenfold after 6 months of individualized coaching, and I was absolutely right. Honestly I went into it thinking I was going to get a recipe for a promotion, but what I got out of it was so much more. Janice worked with me to define my unique value system which informed my perspective, boundaries, and confidence. The program is not 'one size fits all'; she was devoted to understanding my current situation and helping me identify a path forward based on my unique needs and abilities. Now, a few months post-coaching, I'm beyond thrilled to say that this chronic people-pleaser can unapologetically (and professionally) say no. Janice gave me a tool belt of perspectives, questions, and exercises to implement as hurdles approach. I use my tool belt every day and have seen a massive improvement in my work/life balance, my general happiness, and my reputation as a value-driven leader.
Z.T., senior leader
As a first-time CEO, I knew I needed support but not what that support should look like.
What a gift to have met Janice, who has helped me embrace my existing strengths and grow into some new ones. I am grateful for her brilliant combination of rigor and empathy.
R.D., first-time CEO
Janice can relate and brings forth experiences as a female leader in Fortune 100 organizations.
She is strong and courageous herself, very observable, able to quickly assess and synthesize information, sees your path (even before you may), and truly helps drive you to attain your path while challenging and supporting you along the way.
T.G., senior leader
Janice is deeply passionate about helping her clients to level up.
Her approach is personalized and for me, she took the time to help me identify my blind spots and then provided the right mix of reinforcing and challenging to help me to improve. I can truly say she has made me a better leader.
J.W., senior leader
Credentials

I hold the ICF's highest coaching credential (MCC) and have spent 25 years inside Fortune 100 organizations leading teams, building businesses, and navigating the same pressures my clients face today.

My work draws on the iEQ9 Integrative Enneagram, the Hogan Assessment Suite, Positive Intelligence, the CCL 360, and LEGO® Serious Play® Hands-On Thinking — a combination of tools that very few coaches bring together.

I've been in your seat. And I've done my own deep work to get here.
