Jan Stoffer has a clear goal for every program she teaches: that participants leave with a solid plan to work on whatever challenges brought them to her. Jan says, “My classes are very interactive. I draw people out. Their personal experiences – good and bad – in the workplace become the framework we use for everything we learn. I take theory and make it practical.”

Her gift for helping others “connect the dots,” plus a long career as a successful entrepreneur, make Jan a tremendously effective instructor. She draws from experience that started at age 12, as she swept floors in her family’s successful business, through her career as cofounder of a successful electronics firm (later acquired by a Fortune 500 company) and an audiovisual production company. Even today, she owns and operates a small business, in addition to her MRA work.

An MRA instructor and performance coach since 1994, Jan is known for helping organizations to:

Improve the work environment and decrease legal risk through anger management programs targeted at employees with established attitude problems.
Groom employees to take on more visible and credible communication roles – both internally and externally – through presentation skills training.
Equip new managers with the tools they need to fully engage and motivate direct reports through the Principles of Management series.
Continuously improve employees’ skills through the Creating an Engaged Workforce (for senior managers) and one-on-one coaching in the areas of leadership, communications, and presentation.
