Jan McDonald

Jan was born in Cleveland, Ohio, where she lived until she was 22. She was a substance abuser until she was 37, when she came to her senses and, with God's help, sobered up. She ended up being a single mom for awhile and was remarried in 1986. Sobriety and her faith took her on a wild adventure where she ended up being the CEO of pregnancy medical clinics for 13 years. During this time, she realized her shortcomings in leading herself and others. This began her intense search for inner change.

Jan McDonald became certified by the premier John Maxwell Team as a business coach, leadership consultant and motivational speaker in 2015. This commitment was the change she was looking for.

In 2017, she studied the fruit of The Spirit for nine months because these were the characteristics that Jan wanted to import into her life. She turned this study into the book, "Fruitful Leadership; Leading by The Fruit of the Spirit." This book will equip you to lead with the attributes of the Spirit: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Gentleness, Goodness, Faithfulness and Self-Control.

She will be the first to admit that this study didn't make her perfect and thank God! perfection is a process. The Spirit is working in her that Power that is transformational and as her son said, "The only time we are perfect is when the tombstone is on our heads."

Her highest objective is to empower and energize others to achieve their greatness that lives within. Sober for 30 years, there isn't a limiting belief that she can't help you overcome. Her transparency about her life and struggles will show you that, yes, you can transform your life, too!
