Jan Johnston Osburn, Certified Executive Coach &  Certified Branding Strategist 

I am passionately driven when it comes to personal empowerment. I help individuals redefine what is possible in their career and in their life. 

I try my best to be an inspirational force for my clients as I work with them to tackle the obstacles that get in the way of their success – even when they don’t understand what is in their way. 

I am creative, energetic, and progressive thinking – just because something has always been done the same way doesn’t mean it’s the right way. Old ways rarely open new doors. 

Never judging. Always listening, but still holding clients accountable for their results is my approach. You can dream big – and you should. But, you must have actionable plans that will manifest that dream into real life. 

How I Got Here

After a storied and extensive career in Talent Acquisition, I formally began my coaching career and work as an organizational consultant in 2015. 

I’ve been in my client’s shoes. Talent doesn’t always equal success and success doesn’t always speak for itself. I wasn’t always confident in my abilities to land the job I wanted or to have the life I desired until I learned a few secrets along the way. 

I know that others struggle, too, when it comes to their career or personal development so I founded Empower365 Solutions  to fill the essential desires that clients have. Far too many people have that sinking feeling when Sundays roll around. You know the one – The one that leads to the Monday Blues. That’s no way to live. My mission is to help others find or create a meaningful career so they get excited to jump out of bed in the morning. 

I divide my time between my coaching practice and helping organizations with their organizational needs. I am a hand’s on practitioner and my consulting work helps keep my finger on the pulse of today’s professional world. I have extensively recruited, interviewed, and hired thousands of key employees and I use that essential insight to assist my coaching clients.
