Janet DombrowskiJanet C. Dombrowski
Janet Dombrowski is an Executive Coach with MEDI. As a senior strategy leader in various organizations for nearly 20 years, Janet Dombrowski brought positive energy, strong business and consulting skills and integrative thinking to a variety of key strategic initiatives. Having built her personal credibility as a trusted advisor to many executives with intuition, integrative thinking and a direct approach, Janet wanted to bring more of her "self" to her work. She chose to build on her skills at creating synergy and highlighting a path forward in projects and processes to doing the same for individuals and teams through leadership coaching. She calls this personal and professional transformation from "solving" to "serving".
