Hello hello! I’m Janine Esbrand – lawyer turned Career Strategist, Executive Coach, and Keynote Speaker.
Over 10 years ago, I walked away from my dream career as a corporate lawyer because it wasn’t my dream anymore. Since then, I’ve navigated multiple career transitions within the law, built a successful coaching and consulting business on the side, and stepped fully into entrepreneurship.
