Meet Jan Coates:

The “LOVE What You Do” Lady!

“Perceptive!”

“Passionate!”

“Powerhouse!”

These are just a few of the sizzling superlatives that have been used to describe speaker, counselor, motivator and Christian author Jan Coates. Whether she is speaking to the Salvation Army on “Women by Design,” a Baptist church on “Hearts Set Free,” or a rescue mission on “What You Do Matters,” Jan connects with audiences from all walks of life.

Her message is simple: “LOVE What You Do!” That’s why they call her the “LOVE What You Do” Lady! And you will, too, once you hear this dynamic speaker bring the house down with her larger-than-life stories and humorous anecdotes that give her audiences more than just a feel-good experience – but a feel-great reason to LOVE What THEY Do, too!

Jan speaks and writes from her heart; it’s the source of all her humanity, passion, empathy and sincerity. She has conducted hundreds of presentations to audiences from all walks of life. Jan’s focus is on communicating powerful messages to help others “LOVE What You Do!”

Why hire Jan for your next presentation?

Her powerful, passionate presentations—blended with Scripture, real-life solutions, street-smart insights, humor, contagious passion, and grace—truly bless participants.

Jan will equip, inspire, and encourage you with life-changing messages and practical Scriptural insight. Audiences receive a huge serving of real HOPE from a lady who knows first-hand the heartbreak caused by a "hopeless" label.

Rest assured, when Jan doesn’t have a mic in her hand, she’s ministering to attendees, washing feet, praying, listening, and creating Kingdom relationships.

Jan knows about hanging on to a bare thread of hope—in spite of all odds and worldly conditions. From victim to victorious difference maker: By God’s grace, she overcame divorce, depression, dysfunctional family relations, cancer, and the loss of her only biological child.

“Your past does not define who you are. I’ve discovered it’s not what happens to you—it’s how you respond. For me, I choose to live as 'Daughter of the King' with a crown on my head, and a permanent member of God’s family throughout eternity.” — Jan Coates

A non-denominational Christian, Jan is living proof that God heals and transforms the improbable, and then He places them in Love’s service.
