About Jana Smith
Founder of Campus 2 Corporate Coaching

I've spent almost 15 years climbing the corporate ladder and during the last 5, I was the Director of Employee Development where I interviewed, coached, and developed people at all levels. I was particularly drawn to supporting those early in career or early in leadership.
Why? Because those are the times when you really need someone guiding and encouraging you. I certainly made a number of mistakes early in my career and when I first became a manager. When I've coached people at those stages in their career, I found it helped for them to know I had been there too and to share with them what I learned and how I would approach their situations.
I love watching people develop, seeing when things just "clicked". Some of my favorite coaching moments are when someone comes to me who has no skill in a certain area but then walk away with that now as their strength. I don't want this to be a transaction, I really want to get to know you and support you to achieve your career goals.
And why I really started Campus 2 Corporate Coaching? Although I had the pleasure of developing so many people, I also have the insight of having interviewed hundreds of early career professionals and wishing I could help them develop, but I just couldn't hire and support them in my previous role.
But now I can.
Let's launch your career!
