Jane Jackson ⭐️ Career Management Coach
One of my greatest pleasures is helping my clients arrive at an 'Aha!' moment in their careers.
My mission is to inspire YOU to take control of your career and create the life you deserve. I'm dedicated to making comprehensive careers guidance and support accessible and affordable to everyone.
By guiding professionals step-by-step through an assessment and coaching process, when the penny drops, they realise what really makes them tick. With this clarity, they are able to make the right career decisions. This is why I created The Careers Academy membership site.
All my clients have made successful career transitions into new roles or different industries, from corporate to entrepreneurship or into social ventures the are passionate about. It's exciting to watch them grow in confidence, and follow their true passion and direction!
If you prefer, I can also support you through one-on-one coaching, tailored just for your specific needs. Book a complimentary career clarity chat and see what we can achieve together!

Her warm, thoughtful, motivational, confidence building coaching style was exactly what I needed to make a successful career change.”

My Background
I've gone through many challenges in my career and over time I have found the secret to creating a career that you really love - one that makes you leap out of bed every morning and excited about what you're about to do! I'm delighted to be able to share this secret with you.
MY FAMILY
I have two beautiful daughters who thrive in their respective careers in fashion and marketing (it took time, hard work and determination.) Armed with career clarity and the path to success, they love their work while balancing family life too!)
My husband spent over 30 years in leadership roles within the media industry in Australia and Singapore and, when he experienced a life changing career transition, he reinvented his career in his 50's.
Having a career coach as his wife proved useful, as he leveraged his transferrable skills and passion to help others, into a new career he loves that is totally 'age-proof' (he is now 65 and I doubt he will ever want to retire!)
WHAT I LOVE
Work and life harmony is very important to me so I love to play golf (my handicap is rather high, however it's a lot of fun as I'm one of the few people who think that playing golf is a series of Zen moments), dance (especially jazz), yoga, travel and cats. Yes, I love cats! And writing. And lifelong learning.
EARLY DAYS
I was born in Malaysia to an English father and Cantonese mother before growing up in Hong Kong. Having lived and worked in Hong Kong, San Francisco, London, Singapore and Sydney, I've a solid understanding of the challenges when making a city or country change, reinventing your career and finding the right support at the right time.
With experience in Public Relations, Travel, FMCG, Health & Fitness, Education, Training, Human Resources and Consulting, I have a keen understanding of the importance to tap into transferrable skills to make any career change.
I've also learned a lot about cultural differences in the workplace and, when it comes to entrepreneurship, how to create a successful face-to-face and remote business by leveraging technology and staying up to speed with current trends and market requirements.
