About Jane Guyton, P.C.C.

Spiritual Coach

In my twenty years of working with individuals and groups, as a coach, teacher and trainer, I’ve discovered that there are several core issues that challenge us, both at work and in our personal lives. These issues are:

• Am I living a life of meaning?

• If I live authentically, according to my deep, personal and spiritual values, will others accept or reject me?

• Do others, and do I, judge myself as good enough?

I call these questions, Soul-Searching Questions and it is the business of a Spiritual Coach to address them with you.

Spirituality means different things to different people, but a common theme is that of being part of something larger than our small selves, and of learning how to get in touch – and stay in touch – with our soul’s guidance. Through spiritual coaching, we can examine these larger questions while at the same time addressing the day-to-day challenges of the workplace and at home. In our personal lives, we long for loving relationships built on trust and honesty where real intimacy is possible.

As a coach, I help people to uncover their deeply held values, and to look honestly at the beliefs that define their life experience. I also believe that moods and emotions are the inescapable context of life, and I help people to discover how the moods they live in either help or hinder the attainment of their life goals. Finally, I do not allow people to ignore the vehicle – the body – that must perform the actions that ultimately define life. The goals of the soul cannot and must not remain as fine ideas, but must be lived as reality.

I’ve been a coach and spiritual guide for twenty years. As a Program Manager for the Newfield Network, accredited coach training organization, I design and direct a program of graduate learning, and I am a Mentor Coach for students in Newfield’s coach training programs.

My coaching clients include executives and managers in both for- and non-profit organizations, professionals, entrepreneurs, artists, individuals and couples. Every one of my clients is a delight to work with: someone who relishes a challenge, has plenty of courage to face difficult issues, and with whom I have marvelous, rich conversations. I learn from them all, and I count myself blessed to have each one in my life.
