About Jane Kirsch

I grew up listening to my self-employed father talk about the successes and failures of his day as an independent sales rep at the dinner table. I didn’t know it then, but from those conversations, I was learning about the joys and rewards of doing something you care passionately about and have built for yourself!

I pursued a degree in Home Economics and majored in interior design. Eventually, I also obtained an MEd in adult education. Throughout most of my adult life, I moved around the country with a corporate husband and had an opportunity to re-invent myself every couple of years. That allowed me to try out lots of different careers and ways of working..

After moving back to Pennsylvania, I tried my first corporate job as a marketing consultant with a territory of all New England and the Mid-Atlantic Coast. This supposedly "prestigious" position required me to travel 4 days a week which left no time for family, hobbies or volunteering. I was earning a great salary but had a life with very little meaning. It was stressful and began to affect my health.

I was having the proverbial "life is too short" feeling every single day so....... I impulsively quit one morning.

Please don't do this - call me first!

I attended a workshop called “Working at What You Love” presented by Barbara Winter and Valerie Young and the rest is history. The workshop helped me formulate an outline of my ideal life.

I realized that the common threads through all the things that I had enjoyed doing were teaching and helping people improve some aspect of their lives. I also realized that I had many years of creative experience and a lot of first- hand knowledge to offer others.

I trained and have been certified as a Creative Career Consultant through Valerie Young at Changing Course.com and now offer personal coaching services to others who want to follow their dreams to an independent life doing something they love to do.

I believe that her "Life First, Work Second" philosophy can be a positive life-changing approach for many people.
