Summary:
Jane Barr, Leadership and Communication Coach, shares tips, tools and processes to enhance your ability to connect with clients and collaborators, exceed expectations, gain commitment, inspire teams to take action and get things done so you can move ahead in your career in a way that is fun, fulfilling and financially rewarding.

Focus: 
My commitment is especially strong for women working in technology. There is huge opportunity for women working in IT roles;
 - Studies show a  34% higher ROI when there are women in IT management roles. 
 - The number of technology jobs are expected to increase by 32% from 2008-2018. 
 - Some of the highest paying and most creative jobs for women are in technology. 
At the same time: 
 - The number of women majoring in computer science declined by 79% from 2000 – 2011
 - The number of women in technology jobs declined from  38% in 1987 to 25% in 2011
 - 56% of women working in technology leave the field between year 10-20

Why me:
For 30 years I have consulted with national retailers such as CVS, GAP and Vera Bradley with oversight responsibility for business and system re-engineering projects including system selection and implementation. I knows what it takes to deliver a project on time and on budget, to build strong teams and to generate add-on consulting business worth millions of dollars.

On the other hand I have also experienced firsthand the isolation, frustration and rejection often associated with working in what is (mostly) a male dominated industry. It is my personal mission to help women overcome these barriers so they can enjoy a long and successful career in technology and in turn help to reverse the trend of women leaving the technology field.

My coaching certifications include: iPEC Energy Leadership, High Power Presentations, Relationship Savvy, Dale Carnegie Leadership and Communications, and Perfect Customers.
