”Jan has a special ability to understand and correctly identify the ’communications issue’ and offer solutions. The most important skill was how to breathe correctly and use my voice effectively. I loved the ’impostor complex’ discussion and am hoping I can learn from it. I also realized how much speaking effectively is a mental skill.”
