Testimonials:
“For anyone considering working with Jan as a business coach, social media consultant, or a life coach, you would be absolutely FOOLISH not to use her. From the first moment I met Jan, she treated me with the utmost respect, but constantly held a mirror to my actions and asked the tough questions in order to make me a better businessman. She first started coaching me when I was contemplating leaving Prudential, but a few sessions with her changed my mind completely. She has extensive coaching skills that quickly identifies weak areas, and celebrates my strengths, and sets an action plan for success. After getting on track with my business, she encouraged me to attend her blogging class. I took to it immediately and fell in love with the power of writing and the control that blogging gave me. She always knows what the latest and best trends are when it comes to internet marketing and social media. I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed having Jan O'Brien as my coach and friend. You can't go wrong with her." Felipe Crook , Realtor , Prudential Americana Group Realtors
“Jan has assisted me with not only building my own blog but helped me develop it into a business. I call on her constantly for consultation not only on my business but on accounts I have taken on. Her knowledge and work ethic is amazing and I always learn more from her.” Top qualities: Great Results , Expert , High Integrity Beverly Luana Gomes, Business Blog Techs
“Jan O'Brien is one of the top coaches, trainers, and educators in the industry. Her knowledge and passion for helping others achieve their goals sets her high on the mountaintop of the real estate community.” June 2, 2009 - Steven Kitnick, Owner, Steven Kitnick Seminars, LLC
“Jan's management style of swift and astute decision making stands out among the other general managers in our Las Vegas real estate industry. Duck and Cover is not her game. Neither is Smoke and Mirrors. She relies heavily on educating and reinforcing, yet knows when it's time to drop the errant knucklehead out of the side doors--preferable packing a chute, but that is an individual choice. I admire and respect Jan both personally and professionally. As an ex-fencer to an ex-chopper pilot: Salute!” June 1, 2009 - Nancy Cokinda, Broker-Salesman, Realty Executives of Nevada
“Jan is a highly competent and compassionate professional who is always ahead of the curve in understanding and incorporating technology and cutting edge team building ideas into her business practices.

She is a great mentor who's forward thinking and insight have helped me grow my business 3 fold. Jan's coaching style and optimism has motivated me to perform to my highest potential, and I count her as a dear friend, as do most people who have the opportunity to know and work with her.” April 14, 2009 - Steve Matthews, Broker/Salesman, Prudential Americana Realtors
“Jan is my manager at Prudential Americana. I feel very confident in going to her for advice and with questions. She meets with us regularly and is a great coach. She has helped us to improve our business plan and suggests ways to better our business. One such suggestion was for our team to focus more on Buyers. Thanks to her, we now have 8 Buyers agents and are moving to the next level! Her knowledge and expertise are an immense help to my team.
