One of the main “tools” I learned in coaching with Jenny was how to be a change agent in [my] life. Even before I started to work on it I felt stupid and skeptical about how this will work. I didn’t have a very close relationship with my parents and I was in a place of blaming people and things for stupid actions I was doing. I kept comparing my life to others and telling myself I wasn’t good or worth much. It came to a point to which I felt terrible about myself physically and emotionally and I need to do something. I took Jenny’s advice and started to talk to my mother about little things in life, trying to show her I was also listening to her when she responded and the more I did that it became easier for me! In the beginning I had to hold myself back from shouting or making her feel bad and getting angry. After that I started using words of affirmation which made her feel good and respected and I suddenly felt the pressure roll off my back. I was gaining her respect the more I showed her what I felt and told her in words if their was something that bothered me or made me feel like a little kid. I started using this “tool” with friends with the same wonderful result and I feel like I’m a totally new person since then. I am feeling so much better about myself also! For that I am very thankfull!

“Jenny has helped me get in touch with my own inner voice and conscience. She helped me develop into a woman who makes pro-active, as opposed to re-active, choices. Jenny gave me the critical life skills to identify reactive thinking and chose to act pro-actively instead. She helped me overcome the many stumbling blocks in my path – all of which were actually inside of myself.
Thank you, Jenny, for your wisdom and listening ear.”

“The coaching experience has been very positive for me. You have been a great coach, and have made me very comfortable sharing things with you. I appreciate all of your caring and listening. I thank you very much because you have really helped me become more aware of things about myself, in general, and get to know myself better. Thank you!

[Four months later, I learned that Lauren is engaged. I sent her an e-mail to congratulate her. This is her response to that e-mail:
"its really funny how life works, b/c so many things have drastically changed since i spoke to you last, and its really crazy, but basically i feel that a few months ago i just wasn't myself, and i hadn't been myself for a while, and that is why i think things were so crazy and emotional for me at that time, and very soon after our last session my whole life did like a 180 degree turn.
so thank you so much for all your help and thank u for the mazal tov and all of your wishes!"

“Coaching with Jenny was a decision that I’m really happy I made. She helped me see, think, and say things in a good different way! I learned a lot from the coaching. I really just appreciated everything Jenny helped me with. I would probably be a much different person now if if it wasn’t for Jenny’s help. So thank you!!”

"[During my year in Israel] I was asking myself really hard questions like who I am and who I want to be, what I want to change and what I wanted to stay the same; and every time I came up with an answer, I felt helpless because I didn’t know how to approach the problem and change it. I wanted so badly to change my ways, but I felt that I didn’t have the means to do it.
[Then] Jenny came along and introduced coaching to me. Jenny didn’t come along and solve all my problems. Instead, she gave me the strength to believe that I had the answers within me all along. It was an idea that gave me confidence, and strength. It helped me value myself a lot more as a person. I felt alive and good about myself. I found that during our phone sessions I was coming up with new understandings about myself and I made progress in my goals.
With coaching I was able to connect with myself. I slowly broke down the wall that was preventing me from being me. Coaching opened my eyes to a way where achieving your goals, although it won’t be easy, is possible.”

“Janette is unique in her ability to combine profound insight into human nature with a genuine warmth and caring approach. At a time when one might feel the most vulnerable and lost, Janette’s non-judgmental and skilled technique opens the door for self growth and the possibility for real change.
As an old, close friend and colleague, I continue to benefit from Janette’s ability to provide clarity, and new perspectives. Her uncommon ability to truly listen immediately puts me at ease. Janette’s subtle and intuitive guidance enables me to figure out my real thoughts and feelings, gain greater self- awareness and make strides toward effective and realistic solutions. Her uncanny ability to understand and encourage helps me realize areas that both require further work and also acceptance and recognition. Janette’s coaching continues to impact me and influence my own work as a clinical psychologist– I highly recommend her!”

“I have found coaching to be a very satisfying and rewarding experience. Coaching empowered me to shift from being a person who has always “reacted” to someone who is now more proactive in creating the change that I want for myself and in my life.
By following the exercises and “homework” for the week, I learned that I can realistically set a goal and take steps in that direction. Experiencing this has positively impacted my self confidence which, in turn, influences the way I think and feel even in areas not directly connected to the objectives I was working on.
Janette has been the perfect coach for me. Her manner was soft and pleasant; her questions always on target and thought provoking. She was very instrumental in guiding me to work out realistic objectives and helped me remain focused on them throughout. I always felt that Janette was really listening to the words I was saying and to my tone and expression, as well.
I am deeply grateful that I have had these sessions which have provided me with the opportunity for personal growth and enrichment.”

“Janette is a warm, wise coach. When you talk to her, you feel deeply heard. And her questions go straight to the heart of the matter.
I sought Janette’s coaching around a marriage issue. She’s so spiritually grounded that when I talked with her, it was like talking to God – quiet, comforting, and full of love.
She sparked insight and awareness that has stayed with me ever since – so when the same marriage issue comes up, I remember what I learned during Janette’s coaching sessions, and it is quickly resolved.
If you want to get “unstuck” in any life situation and you want someone who will listen attentively, coach you through it, and help you make enormous progress, I highly recommend Janette Sassoon.”
