Voices of Success: The Jane Gentry Effect
Have really enjoyed working with Jane but even enjoyed the friendship we have shared. Jane’s ability to distill distinct challenges into manageable steps and provide practical solutions is unmatched. Regardless of the issue or challenge – Jane Gentry is your best option.
Lars N. Minns
CHRO, Mercedes-Benz, North America
From a strategic perspective, Jane has helped our organization think through complex issues and provide an objective view on corporate initiatives. I have observed her keen ability to connect disparate elements to form a cohesive picture when strategizing and working with our executive team . Unlike many consultants who focus on only the organizational or individual level, Jane works well in both areas to deliver amazing results. She not only gave our team valuable advice, but she was also in the trenches with us executing and helping gain enrollment from our teams on initiatives. Jane brings confidence and focus to her work, and I would have no hesitation in recommending her.

Jane is one of the most professional, compassionate and motivating people with whom I’ve ever had the delight to work. She communicates in a way that encourages others to want to take action immediately. She brings a real sense of humanity to her engagements which truly sets her apart. Jane dares to be remarkable.

I HIGHLY recommend Jane. She is an incredible motivator, adviser and coach. She puts into practice what she teaches by developing a meaningful engagement with the audience and explains and trains content in a sustainable and applicable way for your daily work life.

Jane has been a consistent “favorite” within our organization and our Sales and Marketing Institute. She’s a trusted partner – from the development of content to the delivery of a program. Her ideas are always fresh and geared to the level of the individuals she will be teaching and coaching – everyone leaves with practical steps they can take to improve their personal performance, or the performance of their team. Her ability to keep the attention of a “type A” group is masterful! We are fortunate to have her as a resource!

Is your company's Growth Stunted?
AS A LEADER DRIVING GROWTH IN A DYNAMIC COMPANY
You’re achieving growth many only dream of.
Yet, as your company scales, the symptoms of growing pains—inefficiencies, disengagement, and leadership bottlenecks—are becoming impossible to ignore.
Processes are breaking down, communication is getting lost in translation, and the once-clear vision is becoming muddled by the demands of a larger, more complex organization.
If you don’t proactively manage these growing pains, you risk stalling your company’s progress and losing the agility that got you here in the first place.
Is the growth you worked so hard to drive causing more pain than progress?
