I chose Jean after coming across her LinkedIn posts multiple times- and each time I connected with them on a deep level. She shares the most insightful information that is both helpful and uplifting at the same time. In our 1:1 chat, Jean spent time making sure she understood what I was looking for and the areas I needed help with and she was able to provide so many good nuggets of information in our short chat. After the call, I came away feeling hopeful about the job search for the first time in months and Jean provided me actionable items for me to work on to help me land my next job. Thank you, Jean!!

I am SO proud of Jean Kang and honored to call her my friend. Her LinkedIn Learning course is now LIVE! I’ve been known to help job seekers better market themselves in order to land their dream roles….but the truth is, I was in need of some help myself when it came to marketing myself as a Program Manager. That’s where Jean comes in. Although I applied for a senior-level role at my current company, Jean’s teachings in Program Management actually changed how I view the world, which equipped me with the perspective and communication skills needed that resulted in my employer offering me a higher title than the one I applied for. Jean, thank you so much for your mentorship-turned-friendship, and for your genuine kindness and generosity. Anyone whose career you touch turns to gold ā­ļøšŸ’–

It was such a pleasure speaking with Jean about program management. As someone that is looking to pivot out of higher education, my normal instinct led me to program management. After speaking with Jean, I gained clarity as to what program management entails and also more importantly; if that is the kind of work that I would like to pivot to. As with any career journey, it is important to seek out subject matter experts and Jean is definitely it for Program Management. I would highly recommend anyone that is looking to pivot into Program Management to book a call with Jean, your future self will thank you!!!

Prior to working with Jean, I was a Customer Success Manager (CSM) and was dabbling around with the thought of pivoting into being a Project Manager. While I enjoyed being a CSM, I wanted to learn more about PM because I enjoyed helping others and bringing order to chaos.

When I came across Jean’s posts, I felt that our journey was quite similar being that she was also a CSM before a PM. Naturally, I was very curious and immediately booked a consultation meeting with her.

Honestly, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to continue my career as a CSM or pivot into a PM role, but I was ready to gain more clarity.

We had several coaching sessions, and I landed a PM role!

Given that interviews can be hectic and may not align with our schedules, Jean was always there for me. With any career pivot, it’s easy to struggle with confidence and imposter syndrome. She made herself available to chat through my confidence and interviewing process, which I appreciated so much.

I learned that there’s a framework for every process and this is where you have the opportunity to think more strategically. Jean has a wealth of knowledge and you will walk away gaining invaluable skills. More than that, you will have made a connection with a wonderful mentor, who will provide guidance and cheer for you!

I chose Jean, as she has experience working in renowned companies. Jean provides amazing interview tips and guidance. Her guidance and sessions helped me prepare well for my interview. And I landed a Project Manager position + visa sponsorship!


Your interview techniques were most helpful. PAR method it makes explaining things easy and that guidance is something I will cherish the most. Also the language you use in explaining things helps a ton!

Prior to working with Jean, I found that I was constantly moving backwards in my professional journey.

I chose to work with Jean because her approach to serving as a subject matter expert in the realm of Program Management was so empathetic and genuine, and I felt like she was taking a genuine personal interest in my career.


I wasn't sure what to expect from Jean's cohort, and to be honest, I was skeptical due to the disappointing experiences. However I ended up walking away with so much more knowledge than I would have ever expected. 


Leaving Jean's cohort actually resulted in me viewing the world differently. Jean's mentorship in my Program Management coaching is what led me to where I am in my career now. I ended up being hired as a Program Manager of People, Culture, and Talent by following everything I learned from Jean regarding quantifying my value, demonstrating my understanding of the business, and outlining by 30-60-90 day plan. 


Had it not been for Jean, it never would've occurred to me to approach my interview process so strategically, and I wouldn't be sitting in the Program Manager role that I own right now. 


I frequently recommend my own clients to visit Jean's LinkedIn profile, because the knowledge she offers about how to make a career change, how to market yourself, and how to quantify your professional accomplishments will prove to be invaluable to anyone who leverages her expertise.

Jean, Thank you for your invaluable guide to pivoting to program management. Your insights have given me a fresh perspective on my current role as a Strategic Account Manager and ignited a desire within me to learn more about project and program management. 


As I reflect on my responsibilities as a Strategic Account Manager, I realize how closely they align with those of a Program Manager. My realization has made me keenly aware of the need to develop project management skills. I am more determined than ever to expand my program management knowledge. I believe I can bring even greater success to my current role and explore new career opportunities while doing so. I am excited about the prospect of becoming a skilled project and program manager. 


Your guidance has catalyzed this change in my thinking. I am eager to learn more about project and program management principles, methodologies, and best practices. 


Thank you for being an inspiration and source of knowledge.

I chose Jean because of the way she described her experiences and own journey which really resonated with me and gave me the confidence to pursue her as my coach. Jean was very supportive and understanding and helped in bringing clarity and structure to my career transition journey. I loved the way she used FigJam to clearly document every session and the goals/milestones that we were meant to accomplish in this journey. She gave me a lot of positive encouragement and helped to uplift my morale and spirit when I really needed it. And it was because of her that I landed a Senior PM role at Adidas. Jean is a great personal coach and I wish her all the very best in her journey.

I chose to follow Jean on LI because I loved her enthusiasm and abundant mindset around branding your professional purpose as a PM. 


Jean is a unique blend of tactical advice, motivational push, and light on your page. Jean is a wizard at efficiency and creating a framework for getting projects done.


Your Path to PM guide was AWESOME! I took bite-size pieces out of it every day to apply to where I am at now in my career transition.


My biggest takeaway was about my mindset around project management and creating my own brand around how I can sell myself with my experience, unique skill set, and personal approach at PM.

Jean was incredibly instrumental to my ability to be confident in my skills! She intuitively understood where I was struggling and worked with me to reframe my mindset and negotiate a great offer!
