Work with Me
I am Jane Midgley, CEO of Jane Midgley Coaching, a Career Design and Executive Coach
It is my passion to work with mid-career professionals who are ready for change and advancement in their careers. In mid-career many people realize that their needs and desires for their career and their life as a whole have changed. I am your partner in implementing the change that will fit who you are now.
My services are designed for two paths:
- The first path is for you if you are desiring either a new position in the organization or company you are in today or to switch into a new company or career
- The second path is for you if you are a leader or executive who aims to advance in your career – either excelling where you are or moving into the next phase of your career.
Change can be challenging, right? You are taking an enormously courageous step to transition or advance your career because we all have so many feelings, varied experiences, and accumulated stress about our careers and our finances. Also, you will have lots of feelings about the change and some limiting beliefs about what is possible for you. And that nagging question may already be in the back of your mind– can I REALLY have what I want?
But this is normal as you expand into your greater good and means you are right on track! Because with the support of my coaching you can re-set and keep going!
Career Transition Path:
Career Vision GPS Coaching with Jane assists you to:
- Gain essential clarity in vision and direction – WHY do you want this career switch and what needs and desires does it fulfill?
- Face the natural resistance to and fears about change and overcome those.
- Create a customized “designed-for-you” strategic action plan.
- Upgrade your skills needed to navigate your search, networking, applications and proposals, and interviewing expertly.
- Mastery of emotions, mindset, and beliefs so that you tap into your spiritual guidance system to supercharge your journey
Is This Program Right for You?
Are you ready to change your position or company/organization or career path?
I work with mid-career professionals who want to take charge of their career.
These days, we are each the CEO of our career but how is that going for you? For many it is challenging to carve out the time and mental and emotional space to map out the best career objective at this time in your life, and to take the actions that will get you where you want to go.
This coaching program is perfect for those who thrive with customized, personalized guidance and a co-creative process. If you enjoy using spiritual processes like visioning, guided meditations, emotional self-awareness, journaling, transforming challenges into positive motivations and inspirations then this program is for you.
Yet these are just the foundation for you to create a practical strategic plan and using tools for effectively searching for and locating the opportunities that align with your vision. The dynamic duo of inner and outer alignment and action is your rocket fuel.
I align with what the author of the Power of Now Eckhart Tolle said: “If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place.”
The spritual foundation AND the practical tools form the winning combination that will work for you and get you to your new career destination by the most direct route and also greatly contribute to your overall personal and professional growth!
Signs that it is time to stop delaying getting what you want in your career and get a solution NOW – see how many are true for you:
- I feel a longing from within to change my company, or career – I can’t stop thinking about it!
- I feel restless or bored or drained at my current position several times a week
- I need to earn more money to reach my financial goals for myself and/or my family
- My health and well-bring is taking more of a priority in my life, and I want to work less or create balance and time for family and creative pursuits
- I am in a toxic work environment or have a toxic boss and it is affecting my health or enjoyment of my life outside of work
- I must determine a new work path since I was laid off or I quit my job
Before I met Jane, I was feeling unsatisfied in my work life and wanted to pursue something more aligned to my passions. However, the path to doing that felt unclear. After visioning with Jane, I was able to move toward my dream and interviewed for a management position in the area of law that I care most about -- children's law. I secured the job and Jane helped me navigate the transition time and setting up my new job for success. She taught me that I get to have a high quality of life every day and I use this as a guiding light in working with my staff and planning my own workload. I can't recommend Jane's coaching enough. My life is better because of her guidance.

Challenge #1: Trying to do this career change by yourself or employing a method that failed to bring you satisfaction.
You were not successful in making the tanistion on your own or with another method probably because you are not clear what you deeply want and what would really fulfill you in the next phase of your life. This involves slowing down, breathing, and connecting with your dreams, desires, skills, values, and ideal work/life balance. All of these change as we go through life. Contemplating and making a career change is stressful and so we can bypass this discernment process and try to rush through it to relieve anxiety. If you rush you may end up going after what isn’t truly a fit or end up back in a position or in a career situation that is like what was frustrating you to begin with.
How Jane Midgley Coaching addresses this challenge:
I have a signature spiritually based process I developed that leads you deep into your inner wisdom – which is where the impetus came from for you to seek a career change to begin with! I employ here a guided Visioning Meditation that I personally lead you through so the experience is customized for you and you continue to tap into the heart wisdom which is where your most expansive vision resides.
Challenge #2: Your mind will convince you that you need to get going and apply for jobs or rush to choose a new path and push yourself through it.
If your heart is not in charge your mind will convince you that you need to get out of this uncertainty fast and try to make something happen right away to relieve the anxiety. The truth is you need to first clarify what you want (your vision), codify that into your specific requirements and wants that will enable you to thrive in this next phase of your career, and take inspired steps in the context of feeling excited about your possibilites. Unless you do this, you may settle for something less than what you want and deserve.
How Jane Midgley Coaching addresses this challenge:
I lead you to create a customized template of your ideal career at this phase of your life based on your heart-based vision that crystallizes what you want into a specific filter for your exploration of opportunities. I also provide the structure and practical resources and personalized guidance for employing multiple strategies as you explore what will meet your requirements for your new position or career.
Challenge #3: Some of the powerful emotions associated with change - stress, fear, anxiety, doubt, and resistance - can be overwhelming and stop you from pursuing that change you want and deserve.
In my experience a position or career change is 80 percent about the inner work which is emotional and mindset management. Some of the voices in your mind say: Am I crazy? My life is fine as it is…why am I rocking the boat? What if I fail? What will people think? Do I really get to have what I want? I want it but I am not ready.
It is normal to experience these emotions during this process but can be hard to impossible to move through them successfully without a coach to assist you.
How Jane Midgley Coaching addresses this challenge:
I excel at assisting you to focus on what is happening on the deeper emotional level, and to connect with limiting beliefs that no longer serve you as you go for a change. I teach you new skills for mindset and emotional management using spiritually based tools that activate your heart and your soul as partners in this journey.
To navigate this change, I assist you to minimize the negative, draining emotions and amplify the good feelings and positive beliefs about self you are associating with your new path. Studies have shown that the more you can dwell in courage, trust, optimism, joy, gratitude and love, the more you will get into a productive flow, better outcomes, and synchronicity with the universe. These are skills you can take straight into your new career to start it with a powerful and successful foundation, and they also enhance your personal and professional life.
One client's journey: Eileen was in a very responsible position at a large university. Although she was doing things that she valued, and felt that ultimately, she was having a positive impact on her institution, she was not happy in her workday a lot of the time. In addition to wanting more satisfaction on a day-to-day basis, she wanted to earn more money to support her growing family. Eileen began working with me, and we started with her spiritual visioning process to determine what she wanted at this stage of her career. Once she got the clarity of what was most important to her, she created her Dream Career Template and looked for positions and opportunities at her institution and at other universities that fulfilled her dream. She succeeded in getting a position with more responsibility at her university, doing more of what she most loved to do during the day, at a much higher salary.
Your new dream is calling to you – are you ready to say YES?

Before I began working with Jane, I felt extremely stuck in an old paradigm and a situation that was draining my energy and producing anxiety about the future. Through the clarity, inspiration, and grounding I received from her coaching and the concrete tools she provided, I regained my strength and vitality. I also claimed self-confidence and self-respect, learned how to do deeper self-care, and now have a high quality of relationships with healthy boundaries. Her Leadership Transformation Day process enabled me to tap into the vision for my work and creative expression going forward and she assisted me to embrace my unique talents and strengths at this phase of my life, breaking out of a nine to five mentality to create the life I desire.

My Clients Have Achieved Results Such As:
• Thriving organizations and more confidence in strategic direction
• Improved leadership and communication with teams
• Enhanced work-life balance and personal fulfillment
• Effective navigation of challenging work environments
• Development of successful transition plans
Have you tried to make these changes on your own? It is challenging to do since we all have emotional, mindset, and practical concerns that arise when we are going for a change. Setting the vision and goals and then working through the resistance and inner and outer challenges is a lot. By having a coach as your partner you can start with the right foundation of your inner heart wisdom about what the net phase of your career and life is, and then design a strategic plan to get there.
You may have tried other processes or approaches and not gotten the results you wanted.
My signature executive coaching process developed over twenty years of coaching uses a two-pronged approach that provides a strong foundation for success:
- I excel at assisting you to focus on what is happening on the deeper emotional and inner level, as you go for a change. If you do not start with understanding what is happening at the heart and soul level and wiht your beliefs about yourself, the solutions will not be addressing the right things. I take you through a spiritually based meditative visioning process, teach you new skills for mindset and emotional management (80 percent of any change), and assist you to develop practices to keep you grounded in what you really want. You create your personal leadership mission statement and revisit your organizational or business vision and mission from this deeper place and the way forward is clearer.
- I combine this inner wisdom approach to discovering what you want at this phase of your career and leadership with leadership skills training, a customized strategic plan, and practical tools for implementation. Once you have achieved greater inner clarity, the outer strategies have more power. I assist you to improve your people and communication skills, conflict management and decision making, and to craft a plan that addresses steps you need to take to achieve your strategic goals.
Through our executive coaching process, we will:
• Clarify Your Vision: Define your personal and organizational vision to guide your leadership journey.
• Enhance Leadership Skills: Address gaps in your leadership abilities to achieve excellence.
• Identify Strategic Focus: Identify the most impactful actions and strategies aligned with your vision.
• Address Mindset and Emotional Management: Learn techniques to handle leadership challenges and improve your daily quality of life.
• Create a Customized Strategic Plan: Develop a tailored plan to implement your personal and organizational goals.
I sought out Jane’s guidance because I needed clarity on the future direction of my business and actionable strategies to bring my vision to life. Through her coaching, I developed a stronger belief in myself and opened up to the incredible possibilities for both my business and my overall quality of life. One of the most impactful shifts was learning to release the hesitation and fear that had kept me stuck when making business decisions, allowing me to take consistent action with confidence. Jane taught me how to cultivate more flow as a leader by deepening the spiritual energy I bring to my work. This process helped me reconnect with my inner wisdom and lead from the heart. Her support has been invaluable throughout the journey—especially during moments of intense change—providing the encouragement needed to move forward with less worry and more fulfillment.
