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.

In this final episode of the Career Change Makers Podcast, I reflect on the core theme of unapologetic leadership that’s been woven throughout the season.
From redefining success to prioritising wellness and building confidence, this episode is all about pausing to acknowledge how far you’ve come—and encouraging you to keep growing with intention and clarity.
Whether you’ve been with me since the first episode or just joined, I hope these reflections leave you feeling seen, inspired, and ready for your next bold move.

âś… Wellness is Essential for Success: True success includes taking care of your mind, body, and emotional well-being.
✅ Your Journey is Valid: Leadership doesn’t look the same for everyone—own your path unapologetically.
