Sabrina Weymiens

Jane has been a great coach during my MBA at Vlerick. She has helped me in multiple ways: from very practical tips to opening her network, and above all by giving me insightful and personal advises on my career path and on the best way to approach recruiters. She goes the extra mile to make a real and lasting difference.

I first met Camilla during my Masters degree at Imperial College where she was my Career Advisor ... She gave me the confidence I needed to go full steam ahead for a job that I was passionate about, rather than a city career, which is what the majority of my class mates were doing … I would recommend Camilla to anyone without a second of doubt. She is truly wonderful at what she does.

Mark Pettitt

Having left university without any real career path to pursue, I worked with Jane to understand what I care about, my real interests and what drives me with regards to a job. Jane's expert advice and ability to take a step back and drive deep into the above topics allowed me to, with her, work out my ideal career.

Camilla is a truly exceptional coach. We’ve all endured the tedious drudgery of sluggish script following coaches who sadly appear to have very little natural ability despite a string of qualifications and years in the field. I know there are many good coaches and TXG appears to have most of them on their books but even among this fraternity of talent I believe Camilla stands out.

I had the pleasure of joining Jane's Career Management workshop at Cass Business School which was very inspiring. Jane is smart, motivational and practical. She is very engaging during the session and keeps everyone focused. Her recommendations are on spot and make you think outside the box.

I employed Camilla as my career coach … as I felt I wanted to change direction in my career but had no idea where to start. I often reflect how after just three sessions I was ready to make major decisions which would impact my future and that were a direct result of the "homework" she gave me and the insights she had offered me in our coaching sessions. I found our sessions incredibly inspiring and helpful.
