"Attending TAG was awesome, and it would have been even better with more people in the room. I did not know what to expect. You never know what is in the box until you open it and I am glad I lifted the lid. I learnt not only from the content but also from other participants in the room. In addition, I enjoyed the opportunity to network. My recommendation is that all business owners attend. You don’t just get training; you also have fun doing it. In addition, the messages around having and being in a positive mindset will stay with me. I will be sharing this training opportunity to others."

'The main reason I chose to attend TAG - The Acronym game was to gain a new skill in the marketing area. I considered brand creation and team-building training with Janet as a good place to start and am really glad I did. Participating in TAG has given me confidence in considering further study. This training program stretched me and had me realise "I can think outside the square' TAG was fun, interactive and snappy and I am happy to recommend the program and trainer.'

I decided to attend TAG training because Janet sold me on it. It was an excellent program and loads of fun. I got to spend time with a great group of people. I recommend this training for Team Leaders who wish to engage staff in a new positive way.

"I was initially nervous coming into the TAG games training room, as I only knew one person attending. What I found great was how quickly we were able to work together in teams and do the work, and have fun doing it. It was challenging and thought provoking and I am very pleased I attended. I am recommending this training for/to the people I work with."

A Great Speaker Connects with People
"Wise men speak because they have something to say. Fools because they have to say something" Plato
"The specific benefits I received from attending Communication Café include my gaining an appreciation of, and an understanding of my own personality and communication style, as well as that of others. Janet also worked with attendees to build confidence and competence in standing up and delivering content to an audience. In addition, I got clear on how to present and say what I do with impact....."

"Why did I attend Communication Cafe? I sold Janet her home and I wanted to know more about what she did. The main benefit I received is to feel safe and confident about delivering my business message and, that it is okay to be me. The content is engaging. Janet's honesty just makes it safe to be in the room and she quickly guilds rapport amongst participants. I particularly love the way Janet creates a theme in the training room and dresses up. I am a musician and an artist, as as well as work in real estate, and this program allowed the imagination to flow and added colour. I am really glad I attended. I am very happy to recommend this training to people interested in and who work with people.

"This training was good. I felt outside my comfort zone with having to do story telling, but I did it and enjoyed it. I wasn't sure what to expect, as it had been a long time since. I was comfortable being on stage speaking or acting (high school days). The feedback from others in the room was that I am a natural and Janet said she picked up some good body moves she will take on board for stories in the future. I chose to attend to improve myself in areas lacking, such as how to articulate myself better. What I received and achieved is the ability to be more clearer in the delivery of my messages. In addition I learnt that I speak too softly and I realised where that came from so am going to work on that."

"When Janet offered me the opportunity to attend Communication Cafe, it was an 'Oh Yes Please!' I attended another of Janet's 'Learn-by-Doing training programs earlier this year and so was very excited that she had developed one specific to building skills in communication. I needed this training as I wanted to learn more about the four personality profiles, how they work and how they work together as knew this would assist me with communicating with my team at work. This has been huge for me and very eye opening. I was confronted and outside my comfort zone with working from the front of the room, but Janet makes it fun and easy, and I got, that many of us fear the same things. I surprised myself in having fun telling and sharing a story. To see the difference in attendees standing up and speaking about themselves and their business in the normal way and then deliver the content using tonality, body postures and even just a little bit of movement walking the floor space has an incredible effect on the audience. She taught us how to get an audience on our side. I walked away from this training knowing I will walk differently into work, and that my ability to understand and communicate with others is at another level. Seriously who would not benefit from this training? If you are a team leader, supervisor, manager or owner of a business this training is for you."

Network to Increase Your Wealth (NIYW)
NIYW is new Learn-by-Doing program on how to be an effective networker. Launched September 2022
"Thankyou so much for the network training, it was really good to meet like-minded people in a nurturing, learning environment. Since then I have followed through meeting two of my contacts, have made a sale already and gained two more friends. I think I had reservation about 'networking' now it has been demystified. I feel more comfortable with the whole thing now. Thank you"

"I attended Treasure or Treason because staff at my work-place had previously attended and appeared to get a lot out of their participation. The non-classroom environment put me at ease. Participants don't realise they are learning new skills in this game but this is a serious learning environment. A fabulous way to up-skill and the training was fast, fun and challenging. It also allowed for being creative."

"I was unsure that the training would provide all that was promised and a little nervous that staff members response from participating would be positive. We wanted our staff to gain an improvement in team dynamics and performance. That they gain and choose to look for and appreciate others, along with a better understanding of one another. We hoped that our staff would identify the unique strengths that each of us bring to the table.
What was achieved is a much more positive outlook on challenges. There is a noticeable improvement in patience between team members and we now see them taking on a supportive role between one another. I would recommend this training to all care providers because it supports the individual and the team. Our staff have learnt to look at and understand how and why they function, before ultimately providing support on to clients. I see this training as an investment in our team, promoting and strengthening their capabilities to further increase the quality of service we provide in the community."

"It was amazing to witness the positive behaviour change in participants and team. I recommend this training for any team.
I participated in the excelucation education program 'Treasure or Treason ~ Pirates Wanted' as I wished to support the growth and development of Circus Kumarani team. The benefits I personally received include reinforcement of learnings I have obtained from other workshops. The areas that this program covered included work process, personal behaviour, task assignment and project management. It was a 'really fun' and 'really engaging workshop."

"I was scared of being judged but decided to attend as a previous participant said it was really good training. The benefits received included learning to negotiate and ask questions. A big thing for me is an appreciation of and importance of being clear when giving and receiving instructions. That it is okay to ask questions to ensure that there is understanding by both parties in the conversation.
Sincerely, people in small business will benefit from attending and that includes Employees and Business Owner/Managers.
Have fun while you learn. So Good!"

"I am a give it a go opportunist. I chose to attend because I knew it was going to be something different. I enjoyed being part of a team and being able to work with others on a project. We didn't know each other prior to the event, but we fast learnt how to work together and be able to learn from each other. This training is an excellent team building program. I loved the creativity behind it and am nappy to recommend Janet as a trainer as well as her 'Learn-By-Doing' games based training for people in business."

Coaching and/or Hypnosis with Janet ~ Testimonials

"I was a bit skeptical of trying hypnosis (especially over ZOOM) but I went along with it. I thought I would be cheeky and suggested Janet hypnotise me into eating Coriander, as my wife likes to add it to her cooking. I felt completely relaxed to the point where I honestly fell asleep and upon 'waking', find I can now enjoy and maybe like eating Coriander. Who knows what else Janet can help with."
David volunteered to be hypnotised by Janet so she could demonstrate the value of hypnosis in daily life.
This hypnosis demonstration was delivered online for members of the a business networking group in Hawke's Bay during a nation-wide Covid Lockdown.

"My name is Eduarda Abissamra. I am originally from Brazil and now reside in Auckland New Zealand. I first met Janet Dougherty in 2008 and over a short period of time, we developed a great friendship. I have been a client of Janet the Coach/Hypnotist on two separate occasions. Recently I had been challenged by a personal issue, and I chose to ask Janet to work with me to reconcile the difficulties I was facing. I booked an appointment and flew from Auckland to Napier to have a 90 minute coaching/hypnosis session with Janet. You may ask why I chose to spend money to fly south, when there are other providers in Auckland. I hold a high regard for Janet's change work. Her ability to get to the heart of the matter, bring clarity and acceptance, and a wider viewpoint, resulting in anguish disappearing, and replaced with excitement and a drive to be more. It is soooo good. In one session I was able to leave Napier back in control of my life, happier and free to be me. It is as if a weight that was so heavy, lifted. Thank you dear Janet"

I approached Janet for assistance as I was not able to relax, as I had lots to do. I felt I was always rushing to catch up. Janet asked me questions in such a way that I was able to identify and declare the real issue behind what was going on. It was a relief and a wake up, when I was able to realise and relate to the issues that had been holding me back. I find I am doing less rushing around since my session with Janet, which included a relaxing Hypnosis experience. I now work on what needs to be addressed and am able to stay focused on a task until completion. Prior to Hypnosis with Janet I was easily distracted. I have set personal guidelines and find I stick to them. I have more time for me and have been able to add in some things that have been on my want to do list but were in the 'when I have time ~ hope basket'. Another big thing for me is I can now say 'No' and not feel guilty about it.

"I needed to get clear on my employment direction and the opportunities available to me. Janet's direct enquiring questions enabled me to reveal my fears, blocks and barriers and then fine my own solution. Janet is a good sounding board and helped me sort through my jumbled ideas and confusion. I trust her judgement and appreciate her coaching skill, insight and wisdom. She knows how to have a person tune into to themselves, so they flourish and prosper, and she does it quickly." July 22
