for directors
One-on-one coaching producing iMMEDIATE results
Jan’s “Coach on Call” program provides one-on-one coaching support and inspiration for directors and is the transformational foundation of the inner coaching process. The purpose behind the individual coaching is to provide the support to help place the chorus director, as the primary person inspiring the chorus’ success, in a personal position of strength, balance and positive leadership. Individual telephone coaching sessions over a 3-6 month period help the director clarify and focus their work, leverage their strengths, identify barriers to success and provide the support needed for them to embrace and implement positive new possibilities. One-on-one coaching will significantly impact the director’s approach and effectiveness as a leader and also create powerful personal change in their life outside rehearsal.

for leadership teams & Regional Faculty
establish high-functioning,generative Leadership
The Music and Management Leadership Teams are critical to the inner coaching process as they are the ones who are supporting and implementing the chorus vision and the work of the director. Not only are the leadership teams responsible for modeling the behaviors that the chorus will follow, they are also responsible for ensuring that the best possible atmosphere exists for the director and the musical product to go forward unimpeded. The leadership has a huge potential impact and it is essential that everyone in a leadership role has the knowledge and skills and feels confidently empowered to inspire a consistent and positive chorus culture of excellence.
Leadership Team sessions work from the inside out to address the core values that make the team function. Team sessions are customized depending on the needs of each individual chorus with goals of unifying approach, establishing high-functioning team cultures, cohering teams around a common vision, clarifying communication styles, reframing limiting beliefs, eliminating barriers to success and creating conditions for a chorus culture of joy and excellence. Support or companion workshop activities can involve visioning, goal setting, or leadership development.
Transformational work with the Leadership Teams can be done through evening workshops, comprehensive weekend retreats, group conference calls or ZOOM sessions

Supercharge joy and excellence
Inner Coaching programs for choruses are customized to meet the unique needs of each chorus. Chorus sessions focus on the themes and principles that will create a chorus culture based on the generative Appreciative Approach, which helps create the best environment for learning, growth, joy and possibility, and leverages peak performance potential.
Chorus sessions are customized and take chorus members through a series of experiential exercises that move them through many of the inner coaching concepts such as the power of intention, focus, eliminating limiting beliefs, connecting energy, elimination of the interferences that act as a barrier to peak performance, chorus unity and core beliefs, silencing of the inner critic, the power of acknowledgment and more. More comprehensive weekend retreats can include deeper visioning, team-building and possibility-creation activities.
