Jane's journey from D&I expert to Certified Menopause Coach

I’m so delighted to introduce today’s guest, Jane Ayaduray; a global diversity & inclusion leader who never imagined she’d become a menopause coach.

 In this warm, honest chat, Jane walks us through the moment she first heard about menopause coaching and thought, “That’s not for me”only to discover a whole new calling.

 What you’ll hear

• Why Jane said “yes” to a programme she hadn’t planned for, and how a single question on inclusion sparked her curiosity.
• Life in motion: juggling jet lag, a house move and training, yet still turning up live every week.
• Practice clients unlocked: how a LinkedIn post and a village Facebook group brought twice the clients (and even a few surprises).
• Global insight: Jane’s take on menopause across New Zealand, Singapore, the UAE and beyond and what “community” looks like everywhere.
• Midlife reimagined: why menopause isn’t a downhill slide but the crest before an exhilarating downhill run.
• Next steps: group and one-to-one coaching, weaving menopause into career conversations, and building belonging in every workplace.
• Throughout our conversation, you’ll feel Jane’s passion for making a difference, her belief in holding space rather than having all the answers, and her excitement about the next 30 years of life beyond menopause.
