Everyone needs a Jane 

I was sitting with Jane, completely overwhelmed by a work decision I couldn’t make. You know that feeling when you’re too close to a problem to see it clearly?

Jane listened – really listened – then asked me simple questions that completely shifted my perspective. No judgment, no agenda, just genuine curiosity about what I actually wanted.

That’s when it hit me: we all need someone who can cut through our mental noise and help us think more clearly. Someone who challenges us with kindness and sees possibilities we’ve missed. Jane has been that person for me, so much so that we’ve named our new conversational AI agent Jane – designed to be a supportive guide, not just another voice.

Testimonial

During the time I have worked with Jane, I have moved to a role that now includes wider management and leadership responsibility. Jane’s coaching has been a great support; it has improved my professional skills and capacities, and my ability to sustain myself in what is a very challenging environment. Her approach has the right balance of reflection and practical strategies. She has an accessible style that traverses easily between issues and she imparts knowledge naturally. Jane has given me great insight and understanding into organisational culture and dynamics, my own identity and values and the tools, strategies and communication styles required to navigate this.

Testimonial

I found Jane to be extremely approachable, ethical and professional. We had a very tight timeline and Jane was able very quickly to understand what was required, plan the work with us, take the initiative to follow through, and work to agreed dates. I appreciated her knowledge, the clarity of her thought and writing, and natural ease of communication. I would have no hesitation using Jane’s services again and highly recommend her.

Testimonial

I highly recommend Jane whom I had as a leadership mentor and supervisor in middle management for more than 4 years. Jane facilitated my thinking and problem solving by expanding my perspective to come up with new ways of looking at dilemmas in leadership. She also helped me identify my strengths and achievements to support a balanced outlook on my role, and support my motivation.

Jane is engaging, warm and supports professional growth by highlighting my capacity to influence the system. In today’s challenging work environments, an experienced and compassionate mentor like Jane can be the difference in keeping you reflective, motivated and engaged.

Testimonial

I have been a social worker for over 25 years and have been receiving external supervision from Jane since 2020. It was clear from the onset Jane is very knowledgeable, ethical, non-judgemental and a genuine supervisor. She is always organised and prompt with paperwork and always willing to go that extra step in providing guidance, support and feedback.

Jane has a very warm and approachable demeanour. She asks thought provoking reflective questions that allow me to grow and refine my skills as a practitioner. She is not afraid to ask the tough questions and has a very genuine, warm and considered nature and communication style when doing so.

I would recommend Jane as a supervisor for someone at any level of experience.

Testimonial

I accessed Jane’s coaching services for two years and found her approach very refreshing. She demonstrated empathy and understanding for the middle management role very well, & understood the challenges and dilemmas across the broad spectrum of issues that managers within the health and welfare sector deal with, from complex clinical issues, managing up and managing down, making difficult and ethical decisions.

Jane has a great skill of being able to draw out my thinking and reasoning using a reflective practice and coaching approach to discussions.  She is also very practical and encouraging  – which is a great in a busy work schedule

Testimonial

Jane was my external supervisor for many years when I was working in educative environments, and more recently as a private practitioner. She provided me with direction in my clinical practice, resulting in the development of my knowledge, professional skills and value base. She is a competent and ethical supervisor who helps me with decision-making around complex ethics/legal issues and critical incidents, reflect on case interventions, and to plan for the future.

I have been extremely satisfied with her supervision and highly recommend her to others. She is a warm and caring professional who I value immensely, and she is always just a phone call away.

This has been an excellent learning experience. Everything I needed was at my fingertips. The quality of the learning resources was first rate. I enjoyed ‘belonging’ to the Beaumont team for a couple of weeks. I found the scenarios and dilemmas familiar and a good basis for reflection. I felt as if the package had been tailored to meet my needs!’

Testimonial

Jane was our team’s external supervisor for many years. We appreciated how she responded to our needs, whether reflection on practice, considering new developments, challenging and expanding our theoretical perspectives, or assisting us to work out our own team issues. We also assisted us to work through our team philosophy and values. She draws on extensive practical experience, and is always professional in her manner. She is very client centered, and offers practical guidance and useful insight to the team.

This course has been excellent for my professional development for supervising others as well as being a supervisee – and my clinical supervisor has noticed a difference. It has incorporated both new learning, tools and knowledge and revision on what I already know’

B. from Australia

Testimonial

This was a good way to consolidate my skills since I’ve had little formal training in supervision but basically developed my style based on the way I was supervised as a SW trainee in the Netherlands; which was very similar. The material was great to re-sharpen my thinking; articulate my own practice and have a lot of practical tools to streamline / document my work and build on it’

S. from the Netherlands

Testimonial

I hate doing things online but this was very worthwhile. I am very surprised at how much I got out of it. Excellent and highly recommended

V. from Australia

Testimonial

The course material is clear and concise and the scenarios are real issues that I have seen occur in my workplace. It’s so good to see the approach that is used and the challenges each of the people involved face. I have really enjoyed the course layout, and watching the video scenarios.
