Professional credentialing is a viable way to demonstrate proficiency in a field, and identifies individuals who commit to his/her profession and ongoing development.
Jan C. Bouch, Psy.D., PCC, MCCT, CEC, mBIT Certified Coach The title of Marshall Goldsmith’s book What Got You Here Won’t Get You There nicely sums up Jan’s viewpoint about coaching. Leaders spend years convincing themselves and others that this is their destiny, their chosen career, the end of years of education and hard work. The reality often lands executives in a place of loneliness, isolation, and confusion about the complexities and nuances faced in today’s world. Dr. Bouch believes that working with professional colleagues in a confidential and supportive relationship can enhance all aspects of an executive/leader’s experience ranging from better decision making and options to improve communication styles and relationships among and with peers and subordinates. It is rare indeed that one individual can bring everything he/she needs to lead a complicated and often highly politicized environment. Coaching is the opportunity to reflect, examine, review, and readjust. Jan is a former administrator with over 30 years of experience leading, coaching, and teaching. She has worked with directors in justice systems (nationally and internationally), and private and not-for-profit entities across the country. She is faculty for the National Judicial College and is an adjunct professor at Michigan State University in the Judicial Administration Program. Jan made a decision to get her doctorate in Organizational Psychology after realizing that her master’s education in the late 1980’s did not provide her the skills necessary to navigate today’s complex and challenging organizations. It was through this program that she received her certification as an executive coach. She furthered her coaching education through the Center for Executive Coaching. Jan is a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and is a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) through ICF. Dr. Bouch recently obtained certification as a professional mBIT coach (multiple brain integration techniques), an emerging science about the interplay among the heart, gut, and the brain. She authored a coaching article for the International Journal of Coaching for Organizations (IJCO) and co-authored the article Coaching Better Justice. She is a 1994 graduate and ICM Fellow. Jan’s passion is to bring the art of questioning to a telling world compassionately.
