WHAT IS YOUR CORE BRILLIANCE?

Your Core Brilliance is that innate ability you have that is very helpful to others and deeply energizing to you. Using my own Core Brilliance as an Articulator, I define your Core Brilliance down to a word or two, then out into a sentence and description you can use as your plumb line for the rest of your life.

Your Core Brilliance adapts to any industry and field of study. It is present with you at all times and active in both your personal and work life. It gives you 360 freedom to follow your interests, curiosities, and education into any career. You can trust it.

It is what you bring to every table, every time, anywhere. 

Everything else about you serves your Core Brilliance, not the other way around. Your talents, for example, are given to you in order to shape how you express your brand of brilliance. The same is true of your personality and intelligences. They make your brand of brilliance unique and natural for you. 

Our conversation will last about 1 1/2 hours, by Zoom. I prep for our call, but there is no prep for you. You show up and we get started. It is one of those rare times when another human is focused fully and solely on you and your brilliance. I put these particular pieces of your puzzle together with you. 

When our conversation is over, you will make sense to yourself like never before. A new confidence will set in and ideas will appear.

I will record our conversation and within a week I will send you a written Core Brilliance Brief. I wait a week because inevitably additional insights come to me that I want to include in the brief for you. Because I am a writer and I have developed brands and campaigns for clients, my mind thinks in that direction and you get the benefit of words and messaging that accompanies the insights I get in our conversation.

I am equally left- and right-brained, which makes me an intuitive that loves logic. It's not enough for me to get an intuitive hit about your Core Brilliance, I want to make it practical for you to use immediately. 

I want as many people as possible to know their Core Brilliance so more and more people can intentionally contribute from it. After all these years doing this, I've come to believe our Core Brilliance is the way we are built to love the world.

I invite you to consider booking your own Core Brilliance conversation. The cost is $450.

Jan has such a gift. Through her unique proprietary process and inquisitive questioning, she's able to hone in right to the crux of who you are. She will understand what makes you tick and capture your uniqueness as a human. Through our time together she helped align me on a clear path forward for my career by scoping my core values, my personal life tagline, and provided a succinct view into the type of environment that would be a best fit for me for where I land next. I loved the documentation she provides after, as well. I highly recommend Jan Black and her wonderful Core Brilliance work. - Grace Knapp, Sr. Director, Business Innovation @GraceBKnapp

“When I came to Jan I was struggling and actually losing jobs because I kept challenging authority. Now, after working with Jan, I get paid to challenge authority. In our first session, she was able to help me see myself more clearly and integrate it with my undefined passion to help disabled veterans. Within a couple of hours, the vision was cast for my company, including its name, tagline, and first product. That vision has materialized, and more.” - Benjamin Krause, J.D., disabledvets.org

 Creativity, intuition, intelligence and Jan’s lifetime of experience places her high on a pedestal. She was able to truly see me. She listened deeply and brought out the essence of what my life’s work has been all about, which is living la dolce vita, the sweet life. She is a wordsmith and a magician with ideas. Jan is so easy to work with and made me feel like anything was possible. As a result of her branding advice, I am more proficient and productive in my marketing and in living my life’s purpose. I highly recommend that you call her now!  –Lenora Boyle, ​lenoraboyle.com

 GREG FAXON. "When I first crossed paths with Jan, I had been coaching for a couple of years and was having real trouble articulating my 'onliness' - what made me different from other people in my industry. When I first learned that Jan’s core brilliance was all about helping people see and articulate this, I was excited but also a little hesitant. I felt like I had been running around in circles for so long on my own. But from my very first conversation with her I was blown away at how she was able to draw out of me what my closest family and friends would have had trouble distilling. The word that we eventually came up with, ChampionMaker, actually became the name of one of my favorite offerings. Even as my business continues to evolve and pivot, what Jan has given me is a compass with which to navigate. My business hit six figures in sales last year and Jan was a huge part of that. I would absolutely recommend Jan to anyone who is having trouble finding the through-line of their brand and needs a creative partner to help them get clear and put words to it…not just about who they are in business but about who they are as a human being." - Greg Faxon, gregfaxon.com

DENISE RANSOME. Jan Black is amazing! No really…Jan has an uncanny ability to see you, really see you. She intuitively understands what you need and clearly and lovingly leads you where you need to go. She has the unique skill to do the work for you and help you do the work for yourself. She is a player/coach in that realm. The work I did with Jan changed the trajectory of my work. It elevated how I show up not only as a project manager and productivity coach but how I show up in the world.
