Going into that AmCham “Morning Inspiration: Marketing Cafe” event, I was prepared for another regular learning event. On that day, Janine Jakob was the speaker. Right in the middle of her presentation, the lightning struck and I knew that I had to get involved.
Two months later, the first Shanghai Breakfast Club event happened. We are now six successful monthly events in, with a wonderful community that keeps growing. Thank you, Janine, for what you did — I am extremely grateful that our paths crossed!

If I could use one metaphor to describe Janine, that would be “the Sun”. Janine irradiates positivity and good energy in everything she does. She has innate leadership skills and knows how to make the best use of the resources she has.
We co-wrote the book “Be The Coach of Your Life”. Throughout the writing and publishing process, Janine has shown strong accountability, project management and cooperation skills, which I believe makes her one of the best partners for any project!

Over the years I have collaborated with Janine Jakob on several projects and each time she over-performed! I recall several times when her positive energy totally raised the energy of the entire event! Even when I would make a last-minute request, Janine would say “yes”. I 100% recommend Janine as a speaker, coach, and trainer!

Janine has been an incredible example during my studies. She was one of the first women entrepreneurs I met in Suzhou and she was nothing but kindness. I had her as a teacher during my time at SKEMA and it was great. She found the way to cheer us up and teach us great skills during a full lockdown situation.
I also consider Janine one of my mentors during my stay in China. She's an example of hard-working and self-made.

Janine was amazing at helping me learn how to be a conditional leader and how to be empathetic and stern at the right moments. As a growing company, we naturally had many issues in the team in terms of business culture — however, all problems were quickly identified and solved with Janine's help.
Most importantly, Janine taught me the importance of people. If you are an entrepreneur looking to grow your startup, Janine is definitely the go-to person.

This was my first coaching I ever did and I am amazed how much I learned. Janine was very invested in me getting as much out of the sessions as possible — and I did.
