Jan’s passion for life is apparent in her presentations, regardless of if she’s leading a small training session or delivering a keynote to hundreds of attendees.

 

Generosity - Jan Spence & Associates is committed to giving back to the community and does so by donating 20% or more of annual revenue to charitable causes. Led by the example of Jan’s altruistic and compassionate nature, the company participates in various programs to enrich the lives of those less fortunate.

 

Hope - Jan strives to deliver a message of hope and optimism. Through her speeches, training, and coaching Jan strives to help people reach their full potential and live out their God-given purpose.
