# Jan Gooding - Executive and Group Coach
Jan Gooding is an executive and group coach based in London who specialises in helping leaders navigate organisational change whilst staying authentic and grounded. Drawing on a personal philosophy shaped by childhood adversity—her home was destroyed by fire at age eight—Jan brings genuine perspective to helping others embrace uncertainty rather than fear it.
She works exclusively with leaders and senior professionals who recognise that relentless change demands a different approach to leadership. Rather than imposing frameworks, Jan guides clients to develop a distinctive leadership style rooted in their personal values, passion and natural strengths. This bespoke approach ensures leaders remain centred on their own goals whilst building the capability to manage external disruption.
A key differentiator is Jan's focus on inclusive leadership. She helps leaders foster authenticity within their teams and create genuine belonging—moving beyond performative inclusion to build psychologically safe environments where people thrive. This is particularly valuable for organisations navigating cultural transformation or restructuring.
Jan's coaching method appears grounded in executive presence and self-awareness work. She combines strategic thinking about organisational dynamics with deep personal development, making her valuable for leaders stepping up to larger roles, managing significant change initiatives, or seeking to lead with greater authenticity and impact.
Her philosophy—"embrace change because it's coming anyway"—isn't motivational platitude but pragmatic wisdom earned through lived experience.
