Here’s what ambitious people in Janine’s world have to say about Janine, her coaching and her community.
“I participated in Janine's Project Opus program and am so glad I did. The work we did to develop habits, plan our dreams, and identify and build our life's opus was incredibly motivating and validating. Janine created a safe space by thoughtfully curating a group of women at similar stages in life and careers and making us all feel supported and nurtured. She brought together the right resources and activities at the right time in the process for each of us. Janine's own experience, honesty, and openness made it easier for me to tackle difficult and personal challenges in our coaching sessions. I have already recommended Janine's work in Project Opus to several women and will continue to do so!"

Before working with Janine, I had walked through life (professionally and privately) believing that my background as an ex-pro windsurfing athlete wasn’t enough and that I wasn’t yet sufficiently skilled to lead and impact changes in big corporations or businesses. Working with Janine was the door to unlocking that opportunity. Our processing helped me build my new identity and the inner belief that I'm equipped and ready to lead high-standard processes. Today, I am a peak performance coach and advisor to several CEOs and their organizations. Janine brought to our work the combination of the highest-standard leadership DNA of our time with cutting-edge coaching and mentoring. She is very powerful yet calm and gentle. She listens and advises in a way that creates clarity to act.

“I worked with Janine through Project Opus. One of my most significant results from the program was claiming authorship to really honor what I want in life and work. I realized I am more capable and prepared than I give myself credit for. One of the top aspects of Project Opus is the community. Surfacing and sharing expertise, fears, or insecurities across the group was so helpful; it’s hard to do this work on your own and achieve the same results. I learned that much of what I was going through was not unique, which gave me further confidence to take action. Today, I’m comfortable being an entrepreneur and experimenting with new directions without fear. Janine puts tremendous effort into ensuring that every session, reading, and experience is valuable; she truly cares about each person’s success. As a coach, she is highly effective at listening and identifying what changes you need to make to realize your potential.”
— Justine Bassett, Entrepreneur and Founder, US
“Any collaboration with Janine will be a jolt of electric intellectual energy wrapped up in the warmest, softest, purest cotton. She is sharp and perceptive but also full of empathy, warmth, and a desire that the world become a better place, starting with you and not stopping until everyone is done. She is an extraordinary maelstrom of love and brains, and everyone should get a taste of it: it’s infectious, valuable, and right.”

“I had the distinct honor to be part of the inaugural cohort of Project Opus, an inspiring and eye-opening group coaching program designed and led by Janine Matho. Many of us, including me, want to create a more meaningful life and career for ourselves, something where we can be ourselves, make a difference, and take great joy: our opus. For me, the ten weeks feel like the beginning of a new journey, and I'm so appreciative to Janine and the other incredible women in the group for the work they put into themselves and into me. It's made a real difference, and I'm now starting a new role with renewed energy and a refreshed perspective on who and how I want to be. Janine has been on her entrepreneurial journey for the past four years now, and the fruits of her efforts are abundantly evident in the transformative journeys she guided for seven women these past ten weeks–this is what craft looks like. Janine is doing the work that she's meant to do. When she is working with the group, she is glowing, and I am grateful for the time, dedication, and craft that she put into our lives.”

“I recommend Janine as a trusted partner for intentionally building the life & work you want, and therefore, feeling energized and fulfilled. After various inspiring touchpoints with Janine, I embarked on Project Opus. In this program, Janine used different methods to help us (a group of high-performing and ambitious women) move forward in our personal growth journey. Every step of the journey (connect, dream, compose, embark) brought new insights to where I am, and what I want to and need to do to become the person, thought leader and innovator I want to be. For me, it was effective to have a combination of research (resources from other experts), (group) reflection and getting into action. Janine is kind and challenging. She is curious, and has deep knowledge and personal mastery of the topic of personal development and transformation. If you want to make progress into a fulfilling career & life, I recommend an intro chat with Janine!

“As soon as I heard about Project Opus, I knew it was exactly what I needed at this point in my life. I was feeling a bit lost and very frustrated, and I knew this program would help me find the answers I was looking for. Through the program, I rediscovered and embraced my passion. In those ten weeks, I accomplished more in my sector than in a long time, including new contracts, substantially expanding my network, and more recently, landing an inspiring new position aligned with my passion. One of the most valuable lessons I gained from Project Opus was the importance of being more compassionate towards myself and managing my inner critic. Equally important was learning to accept uncertainty, giving myself permission to move through challenges at a natural pace, and recognising even small achievements as meaningful progress. The amount of support provided is overwhelming in a positive way. Janine is caring and persistent, and even when life tries to take over, she always brings me back on track. I especially appreciated the trust she established between us; I knew everything shared would remain confidential. One of the things I value most about Janine is her transparency, authenticity, and ability to be open and share her journey. Thank you!”

“I was in Project Opus and it really lit a fire in me- to value myself, what I have to offer and formulate a plan to move ahead with my ONE life goal (work & personal). We worked together in a small group of like-minded women and this was truly magical. Listening to others' stories and challenges and using the group's wisdom made a huge difference to my growth. Janine provided bespoke, targeted resources to support each of us in our own journeys- some wanted to launch a business, some wanted clarity on themselves, some wanted to start living the life they deserve. Always empathetic and caring, Janine is a masterful coach, listening not only to what you say but to what lies underneath, knowing exactly when to push and when to give space. I highly recommend Janine and Project Opus for people who need the structure, support and accountability to live their opus!”
