About Jan Ott

After teaching at The Evergreen State College for over 20 years, I was called to a career in coaching. I trained with Accomplishment Coaching (AccomplishmentCoaching.com) and was a mentor coach in their training program for two years after completing their program. I also am a Certified Wealth Consultant by The Heritage Institute, specializing in helping families get their heirs ready for their inheritance. Since over 90% of wealthy families lose all the wealth by the 3rd generation, this is a rewarding endeavor.

I coach all manner of people, but my specialties are a few. I love working with people in transition. Either they are ready or forced to leave a job, and want something more fulfilling in their lives, divorcing, or just want to find out who they really are, after living a life structured by others, for whatever reason. I also really enjoy working with administrators to make their lives and work better, especially educational administrators, as I am, and probably always will be, an educator at heart.

I also specialize in coaching, mentoring and teaching all aspects of finance, from debt reduction to investing and transference of wealth. I will not give you input about specific stocks or funds to buy or sell, as an advisor will do. Rather, working together we lay out the map to your goals, looking at the entire lay of the land. Most financial advisors focus on the last three steps to financial freedom, but I have extraordinarily useful tools for all six steps to financial freedom, especially in creating extra streams of income. Together we focus on the issues at hand, as well as looking down the road to anticipate what guidance you will need in your future, the future of your children and beyond to the next generations. Together, we articulate your values and see how they play out in your financial life, and make sure your actions are in alignment with those values. We also look at your strengths and weaknesses, and find a good fit for your extra streams of income that fit your personality, intellectual strengths, desires, and time limitations.

I am always thrilled to watch as my clients take on their finances and their lives and begin to create their life rather than react to it. I have watched many change their framework from one of scarcity and lack to one of abundance and possibility. I would love to see what you are up to and whether our working together would support your growth.
