“Jani is more than a coach — she is a visionary. Her ability to see not just what can be done, but what should be done has been invaluable to me as a business owner, academic, and DEI leader.”
Before working with Jani, I hesitated to invest in my growth. I was managing three LLCs as if they were separate identities. Through our work, I learned how to think and operate at the level of a high-level CEO. I now confidently invest in support, price my services with clarity, and lead my business from a place of bold strategy instead of burnout.
Jani helped me shift my mindset around visibility and worth. I began to create efficient systems, delegate with confidence, and see how all parts of my business could align under one powerful vision. For the first time, I wasn’t just managing — I was leading.
Her Spotlight Challenge pushed me to stretch even further. I began showing up publicly in ways I hadn’t dared to before, finally embracing my zone of genius and being seen for who I really am. One of the resources she shared, The Big Leap, helped solidify this shift and reminded me that growth requires courage.
Above all, Jani has been a trusted thought partner. Whether I’m facing pricing decisions, visibility strategy, or restructuring my offers, I know I can count on her clarity and care.
“If you’re a high-achieving woman who knows she’s meant for more but needs the right mindset, structure, and advisor to help you rise — Jani is it.”

There are times in life when you have so much to say, but for one reason or another, you just don’t know how. That was me.
After five years of teaching in a public school district, I knew I needed a change. I found a dream position — one that would offer me paid internship hours with full benefits. But I was terrified to ask for what I needed.
Jani listened. She didn’t just validate my fears — she helped me sort through them. She created space for me to see which thoughts were grounded in truth and which ones were driven by fear. And then, she helped me turn those insights into action.
With her support, I negotiated with clarity and grace. I asked for more — and received it.
That moment changed everything. I began to carry her lessons into every space I entered. Even when that shy version of myself tries to rise, I breathe deeply and remember what we worked on.
“Money isn’t everything. But the power to say, with confidence and grace, ‘I am worth this — so I ask for this,’ is everything.”
Working with Jani gave me that power. I now speak up with courage. And I would recommend her to any woman ready to become an advocate for herself.

Even though I excel in many areas, public speaking always filled me with fear. One-on-one, I felt strong.
But put me in front of a camera or a group, and I panicked.
Then I started working with Jani White.
She helped me organize my thoughts, calm my nerves, and prepare in a way that felt natural and grounded.
She didn’t just give me tips — she gave me the belief that I could do it.
Within a month, I spoke on a podcast and participated in a panel. Not only did I hold my own — I was invited back.
For me, that was a breakthrough I never thought possible.
“I felt like I took my power back. Because for so long, fear had held me hostage. Now, I’m no longer worried about the size of the room I’m speaking to. I’m just ready to speak.”
Thanks to Jani, I see myself as a confident speaker and a leader in my business. I’m no longer held back by fear.
Jani’s session was a hit. Her energy was contagious, and she had our students fully tuned in -- laughing, reflecting, and genuinely connecting. The BELIEVE framework gave our seniors real, practical tools they could take with them. We look forward to future collaborations.

With over two decades in academia, Professor White has worn many hats, including leading the charge on our Interdisciplinary Learning Communities and steering Speech, English, and Humanities departments towards growth and innovation over her decades long tenure. Her knack for development shone as she expanded the Honors program, adding 18 new courses aligned with prestigious standards, fostering an enriching environment through speaker events, showcases, and transfer talks that opened Ivy League doors for many.
Her expertise extends beyond campus borders; Professor White is a recognized voice in Honors Education and more at national and international forums.
