The consulting activities I have been involved with have expanded my knowledge, skills and abilities.  They have been diverse, involving work with Shepler's Mackinac Island Ferry, Inc., Binder Park Zoo, Steele Enterprises, The Department of Natural Resources - Parks and Recreation Division, and Mancino's.  The consulting itself ranged from integrating marketing and developing marketing plans to training parks rangers how to be trainers to developing a quality service training and delivering it to over 200 employees.

In the past five years, I have worked more extensively with three companies, LaBelle Management, Central Michigan Community Hospital,(CMCH Evaluation), and Canton Leisure Services.  This work was more focused on marketing related activities including sales training, marketing plan development, and integrated marketing training.  Samples of work with these agencies can be accessed by the agency name.

Currently, I am working with Shepler's Mackinac Island Ferry and Newaygo County Convention and Visitor's Bureau on extensive market research, training, and strategic marketing plans. 


“We wanted to take our department to the next level, we just didn’t know how to get there.  (Her) ability to train us in marketing, connect with our department and staff, understand our community and share your knowledge and enthusiasm has been exceptional.”

Debra Bilbrey-Honsowetz, CLP, Manager of Recreation and Facilities, Canton Leisure Services


“Her skills as a strategist and researcher were obvious in the materials that she developed to meet the needs and challenges that were faced by our complex agency.  She conducted our first train the trainer workshop, for over 75 employees, with a sincerity and enthusiasm that was positively accepted by even the most skeptical of our employees.  Most importantly, the simple 2 page training plan that Dr. Janes developed for our Park and Recreation Bureau, over 6 years ago, has stood the test of time.”

Monica Terrell, Department Specialist, Parks and Recreation Bureau, Department of Natural Resources
