What if you’ve been solving for the wrong problem?
COACHING WITH JANE STARK
I’ve spent years doing my own inner work.
Through burnout, through health challenges, career changes and the kind of complex personal situations that don’t have easy answers.
I know what it is to be the person in the room holding everything together while quietly questioning everything inside. To feel the exhaustion of not quite speaking your truth and to sense, somewhere underneath it, that the truth you weren't speaking was actually the most important thing in the room.
What I kept discovering, each time I followed something back to its root, was that the presenting problem was almost never the real one. The thing causing the most pain was rarely the thing that appeared on the surface. And the solution was rarely found by pushing harder on the problem itself.
That's what I do with the people I work with.
Not hand you the answer, but help you get to a place where you can find it. Sometimes that means reconnecting to something you already knew but had lost access to. Sometimes it means seeing your situation clearly enough for the first time that a path you couldn't see before becomes obvious. Either way, you're the one who finds it. I just help clear the way.
When we get there, you stop spinning and start moving. In life and in work.
This work is for capable, self-aware people who know something needs to change but can't quite see how to get from here to there. It might be showing up in your leadership, your career, or something more personal. Often it's all of it at once.
If any of this sounds familiar, keep reading.
You are navigating something complex. Perhaps a transition or a decision, a pattern that keeps showing up at work, at home, or both. Something that lives at the intersection of who you are and what you're building, and that no amount of thinking has been able to fully resolve.
Things look fine from the outside. You're functioning, maybe even thriving by most measures. But just under the surface something isn't right. There's a fog you can't quite clear, a pattern you can't quite break, a decision you keep circling without landing.
And it’s costing you. Time. Money. Energy.
You've tried to think your way through it. You've made the plans, had the conversations, read the books, done the work. And you're exhausted by how little has actually shifted.
What you're looking for isn't more information or a better strategy. It's the thing underneath all of it. The root. And in my experience it's almost never what you think it is, but when you find it, everything else starts to make sense.
What's missing is someone who can hold it with you. Someone outside the politics but inside the nuance. Someone who asks the question no one else is asking.
This is exactly where I do my best work.
"I didn't believe coaching was for me and now I'm confident it's something I couldn't do without. Jane has made a huge positive impact on me and my business. She’s questioned why I do what I do, suggested little tweaks that made me more aligned with my values, and profoundly affected the ways I show up and move through the world."
"You are like the super wise friend who has all the answers. You challenge me by asking all the right questions. You stir up a curiosity within myself that has been suppressed for so long."
THE WORK
What I bring into a conversation goes beyond analysis. Years of study in nervous system work, energy practice, and spiritual inquiry have sharpened a particular quality of attention — one that tracks not just what you're saying, but what's underneath it.
In practice that means I'll ask the question you didn't see coming. I'll name the pattern you've been living inside but couldn't see from the outside. I'll make the connection between something happening in your work and something happening in you, two things you thought were unrelated, until suddenly they're not.
THE PROCESS
I don't follow a methodology. Sessions don't have a fixed agenda. We work with what's most alive for you when you sit down, which is sometimes not what you expected to bring.
I blend the analytical and the intuitive, the strategic and the energetic. If that combination intrigues you more than it unsettles you, we're probably a good fit.
If you've done traditional coaching and felt like something was missing, like the real thing kept not quite getting touched, this might be what you were looking for.
Strategy and soul. Both, at once.
"What Jane and I did was so much more than coaching. It was like therapy and coaching on steroids. By the end of our time together I had healed relationships, closed doors for good, secured a promotion and shifted my mindset. I was thriving. Not only was I a better person to myself, I was a better parent, a better spouse, and a better friend.”
WORK WITH ME
Single Session
90 MINUTES · $275
Most people have already spent months, sometimes years, trying to think their way through something that needed a different kind of attention. A single conversation that gets to the root of it, that finally names what's actually in the way, has a way of being worth far more than the time it takes.
Together we'll get underneath what's actually happening, identify what's really in the way, and leave you with a clarity that makes the next step obvious. Not just insight. The kind of clarity that actually moves you forward.
Ongoing Partnership
For those who want a consistent outside presence over time — someone to think alongside as things unfold. We begin with a three month commitment, then continue month to month for as long as it serves. The rhythm and focus follow what you're navigating, not a fixed curriculum.
