Coaching Testimonials

“EVERYONE…needs a coach! The world’s top performing athletes and business people consistently use coaches. For me personally, if I was going to use a coach, they had to be biblically based, hold qualifying credentials and possess real world experience. Janeese Spencer embodies all of these qualities. My wife and I have worked with Janeese for over a year and we have experienced real gains in our relationship. Working with Janeese has brought valuable benefits to my professional life as well. Growth occurs better when it is intentional. I would highly recommend Janeese Spencer for one-on-one Coaching and/or Couples coaching.”

She helped me connect the dots of my past experiences so that I could see the bigger picture of my life. One of the great things about Janeese is that she joins you in the joy of discovery during this process, walking alongside as facilitator and friend, but allowing God to lead the way.”

“Coaching with Janeese was an eye opening experience for me. She helped me to discover how my past shaped me and gave me the tools I needed to overcome those struggles. She also pushed me outside of my comfort zone and helped me to pursue a career in ministry that I felt God was leading me towards.”

Amanda Hinson
Executive Assistant to Lead Pastor - St. James Church

“My experience with Venture coaching was a life altering experience which I will forever be grateful for.  I had strongholds that were known to me but also others that I did not even realize.  Janeese helped me restore my relationship with my daughter, enrich my marriage and break a forty year addiction .  Every part of my life has been enriched and most important of all my walk with the Lord has been solidified and put in its correct priority.   My ducks did not even know each other let alone be in a row.  My daughter and Mother were so excited about the changes in me that they started going to Janeese.   It’s the best investment I have EVER made.  Janeese really listens, retains and prays for you and put a lot of effort and energy into formulating a game  plan.  But she is also not afraid to call you out and is a great cheerleader and supporter.  I have been to many other counselors over the years and the difference is Janeese points you to your future and empowers you to move beyond your past and strongholds.”

Carol Harrison

“About a year ago, I went through a rough situation, reaching a whole new level of low. Within a few months, Mrs. Janeese helped me overcome the detrimental effects of the situation and establish a strong faith base before moving on to a new major stage of life. Because of her, I am confidant in who I am. Mrs. Janeese is truly a blessing from God above, and I will forever be thankful for her!”
