Janice Hooker Fortman

Janice embodies the essence of a devout woman. Her unwavering courage, benevolence, professionalism, and generosity radiate from within. I've had the pleasure of knowing Janice for four decades and can only speak highly of her. She enlightens me on the art of public speaking, allowing me to feel at ease in front of an audience. Her keen counsel on projects has been an immense help to me. Janice is an exceptional individual, a remarkable educator, and a persuasive orator.

At Coffee, Tea & Me, Dr. Jan conducted six training sessions to help my sales team address their challenge of closing too few perspective accounts. The team was struggling with their communication skills and this was affecting the quality of their work. To address this, Dr. Jan initiated group meetings with the sales team and then broke down the training sessions into individual meetings. After analyzing the results, Dr. Jan introduced the Seven C's of Effective Communication which included Completeness, Clear messaging, Courtesy, Correctness, Creativity, Consideration, and Conciseness. Practicing these principles led to a more collaborative approach to closing accounts, resulting in a 15% increase in overall sales. I am very impressed with Dr. Jan's expertise and highly recommend her services.

Janice possesses a remarkable talent for captivating her audience with the power of her speech. Her narrative about her mother is deeply personal and evokes a strong emotional response when she shares it. Her altruistic goal of instructing other women on how to reconcile with their mothers using her own firsthand experience is truly admirable, as it plays a crucial role in one's life.

Putting clients first, Dr. Janice is the epitome of professionalism. Initially, I sought her assistance for my blogging presentation in hopes of improving the speech's flow by utilizing appropriate transitional phrases. Apart from that, I also wanted to eliminate unnecessary fillers and incorporate appropriate anecdotes. But what I received instead was a comprehensive coaching session! Dr. Janice went beyond enhancing my speech's flow and advised me with delivering a remarkable presentation. She identified aspects to emphasize, suggested handouts to provide, and shared tips on how to make the most out of the allocated space while presenting. Moreover, she followed up with me after the presentation to check its outcome. It was delightful collaborating with Dr. Jan, and I look forward to working with her in the future.
