Coaching & Mentorship

Guidance, strategy, and growth tailored to you.

  • A focused session designed to provide clarity and actionable advice on key areas of your career.

    Need guidance on breaking into UX, navigating a career transition, or growing in your role? This 1:1 session is designed to maximize our time together with a structured, results-driven approach. Before we meet, I’ll ask a few questions to ensure we focus on the topics that matter most to you. Walk away with clear next steps, insights, and strategies you can immediately apply.

    • 45-minute session

    • Predetermined areas of focus to maximize time

    • Tactical advice and actionable next steps

  • A structured coaching plan for deeper learning, accountability, and career growth.

    For those looking to make meaningful progress over time, this package provides dedicated support across four weekly sessions. Together, we’ll work through ongoing challenges, career roadblocks, or leadership development, with practical exercises and real-world applications to help you grow. Each session builds on the last, ensuring you make steady, measurable progress.

    • Four 1-hour sessions per month

    • Tailored coaching plan based on your goals

    • Ongoing support, accountability, and iteration

    • Growth-focused exercises and action items

  • I hold one coaching slot per month for individuals from underserved communities at no charge. If you’re interested, you can apply for consideration. I want to ensure that mentorship and guidance are accessible to those who need it most.

I believe that effective mentorship and coaching come from truly investing in the individuals I work with. To ensure I can dedicate the time, energy, and focus you deserve, I limit the number of mentees and coaching clients I partner with each month.

By maintaining a smaller group, I’m able to:

  • Offer Tailored Support: Every session is customized to your goals, whether it’s navigating a career pivot, breaking into tech, or growing in your current role.

  • Be Accessible: I prioritize responsiveness for follow-ups, questions, or additional guidance between sessions.

  • Ensure Quality: You’ll receive undivided attention during our time together, allowing for deeper conversations and actionable insights.

  • Respect Your Journey: I want to be fully present to help you achieve meaningful outcomes and growth.

This selective approach means availability is limited, and spots are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. If you’re ready to take the next step in your career or personal development, I encourage you to get in touch early to reserve your spot for the upcoming month.

  • “Can't begin to express how refreshing this call was. Janelle goes above and beyond to make you feel heard before she offers any feedback. Her feedback is very pointed and she has a breadth of experience to refer to to guide you in the right direction. I feel like she is taking me under her wing and I am so grateful, especially in this market. I'm so happy that I picked her for a mentor session and even happier that she accepted my request. Thank you Janelle for everything you do.”

Her recommendations were inspirational and brought up points I hadn't considered. She quickly guided my career in the direction I am interested in and shared valuable information on how to prepare for interviews and job applications. She also provided useful resources to help increase job opportunities. I highly recommend her as a mentor, especially for a long-term mentorship.”
