What people are saying.

  • Rex-Cut Abrasives hired Jane's services recently to provide coaching to one of my key department managers. We needed an independent professional with the experience to develop and implement a plan to achieve specific objectives. Prior to submitting a proposal and strategy, Jane took the time to thouroughly interview with me and the department manager to tailor a comprehensive plan suited to our needs. At the conclusion of the plan, our objectives were achieved and exceeded expectations. The individual that recieved the coaching from Jane enjoyed the experience and continues to excel and grow in her capacity at Rex-Cut. Jane is a seasoned and experienced professional when it comes to matters of Human Resources, training, consulting, and individual coaching and mentoring. Rex-Cut has retained the services of Jane on serveral occasions in the past and she is well liked and respected by our management team here at Rex-Cut Abrasives. We would not hesitate a moment to hire her services again.

  • My name is Jim Carroll, Vice Chairman and CFO for Rex Cut Abrasives until my retirement in 2011 after working there for 42 years. I’ve known Jane since 1998 when we contracted her to work with the company on developing a team based measurement and reward concept for our manufacturing process. Jane came in for an interview and the 3 owners knew we had found the person for the project. Jane guided our employees through the team-building, problem solving and communication process with her strong consulting and training skills. We accomplished our overall goals of improving turnaround time, reducing overall manufacturing costs, and supporting a motivated and committed workforce. For this effort, we were honored at the second annual CBWL Awards Ceremony with the "Commitment to the Workforce Award"; presented to us at the State House. She did an excellent job on this project and has since been retained to coach our employees and work on other projects as needed. Jane has always been a super positive person and communicator and worked very effective with employees at all levels of the organization. Working with Jane was one of the highlights of my career. She will make you proud.

  • I had the privilege of working with Jane Callahan at the Community Bank. The bank was going through a turbulent time and I was witness to the way Jane handled herself under stressful and high pressured situations. Jane remains composed at all times and thinks strategically to keep the business moving in a positive direction. She was truly an amazing leader and had impeccable communication skills with a gift for balancing the business needs with the needs of employees. Jane was a coach and mentor to me and shared her wealth of knowledge in the Human Resource industry. Jane was invaluable to me as an HR Generalist looking for growth and development. Under Jane’s management I was able to develop my own skills within the industry and advance my career. Jane is truly an asset to any company she works for and I would be honored to recommend her.

  • Jane is exceptional at what she does. She is very experienced in the art and science of human resources, benefits, and talent acquisition. She is a natural leader. I had the pleasure of working with Jane in my function as the Chief Compliance & BSA Officer at a bank that had been working under an FDIC Consent Order for some time. This high-stake project faced several challenges. One of these challenges was the successful sourcing and hiring of 20 temporary analysts to assist me in the execution of this time-sensitive project. While I was the project's main advisor / subject matter expert, I relied heavily on the expertise of Jane and her department to accomplish hiring just the right staff. Jane also supported my efforts in several other ways; she's extremely bright and assisted me by serving on several internal Committees that lacked knowledge and experience in this space; her input and support was invaluable. Jane is a highly adept HR and financial services professional with a proven ability of performing well under pressure, building HR departments, benefits, compliance and she is a team player who is able to work well at all levels of the organization. I am grateful to have worked with her and I am honored to recommend her.
