Boldly Human Leaders

In this present era, it seems like more of the completeness of our humanness, and thus of our leadership, is being called forth. There is a need for boldness and kindness, for confidence and sensitivity, for power and vulnerability. There is a need for fierceness and humility, for brilliancy of the mind and true courage of the heart, for bodies that are grounded - very here, present. For mindfulness. A more boldly human kind of leadership. One that includes more of our unique and complete potential, capable of creating environments where people, business and community can thrive.

The Red Baobab is a leadership development firm that has specialized for the last 20 years on guiding clients to cultivate more of the completeness of their unique potential and build higher functioning capacity. We do so through a pragmatic inner development approach we call the IN WAY, which taps into the intelligences of the mind, the heart and the body.

“Janice was my coach for almost a year during which we went on a very real and meaningful personal and professional exploration. We talked openly with genuine vulnerability, exploring all aspects of my life including ways to approach and interpret feelings and situations which ultimately resulted in me having a much greater sense of contentment, clarity, confidence and humanness.

She listens deeply, asking thoughtful and insightful questions while allowing enough space to explore the meaning, implications and lessons. I can thoroughly recommend working with Janice.”

“I definitely recommend Janice as a coach. She knows how to carry out the coaching process in a very integral way. If what you want is a real process of transformation and self-awareness, Janice is the person you need. She always asks the right questions and makes you reflect on why there are things that are particularly difficult for you. She helps you to see them from a very deep and personal perspective. If you are willing to open up to an experience of self-knowledge, Janice is the coach you need.

Thanks to Janice's coaching, I was able to dare to do things that I didn't dare before. I learned not to be afraid to make certain decisions and to see things from a more objective point of view. She has accompanied me in important stages of my career and her accompaniment has helped me to grow both, at work and personally.”
