Meet Janet Phipps, MBA, ACC 

Founder of NorthStar Mindset Coaching

My work sits at the intersection of personal transformation and conscious leadership. Rooted in a lifelong fascination with human behavior, my approach has been shaped by decades of experience in leadership, reinvention, and resilience.

As an ICF ACC certified coach, Certified Mindset Coach, and Presence Based® Coaching Core Practitioner, I help conscious leaders and professionals reconnect with their inner compass so they can lead from clarity, presence, and purpose.

My approach is dynamic and integrative, combining mindset transformation, somatic awareness, Time Line Therapy®, guided hypnosis, and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP). Clients often describe our work as energizing and transformative, bringing both insight and momentum. Together, we uncover what truly matters, release patterns that no longer serve, and create aligned action that sustains growth.

With an MBA in Entrepreneurship from Walden University and more than twenty-five years in strategic planning, program leadership, and organizational change, I understand the pace and pressure of high-stakes environments. I am a Prosci® Certified Change Practitioner and an authorized partner for Everything DiSC®, The Five Behaviors®, and Hogan Assessments, tools I use to strengthen communication, deepen self-awareness, and build values-based cultures that last.

Clients describe my coaching style as grounded yet energizing, intuitive yet direct. Whether you are navigating burnout, transition, or reinvention, I help you realign with your own wisdom so you can lead with purpose and create meaningful impact.

“This feels different.”

That is something I hear often and I take it as the highest compliment.

Clients tell me they feel seen, not judged. That they can be real here. Coaching with me is not about performing, fixing, or pretending, it is about reconnecting to who you are and what you truly need.

If you are still wondering whether this is right for you, I understand. Taking the first step can feel uncertain. But if you are craving clarity, relief, or simply space to breathe again, this might be your moment.

You do not need to have it all figured out. You just need to begin.
