Hello hello! I’m Janine Esbrand – lawyer turned Career Strategist, Executive Coach, and Keynote Speaker.
Over 10 years ago, I walked away from my dream career as a corporate lawyer because it wasn’t my dream anymore. Since then, I’ve navigated multiple career transitions within the law, built a successful coaching and consulting business on the side, and stepped fully into entrepreneurship.
Through these experiences, I’ve learned what it truly takes to step off the default career treadmill and lead your career with intention.
Now, I’m on a mission to help you do the same – to build a career that aligns with who you are and allows you to create maximum impact.
