Transforming careers since 1995
Jane Barandes Pollack knows what it’s like to look successful on the outside while knowing something needs to change.
After three decades climbing the corporate ladder in the fast-paced world of digital advertising, Jane built the kind of career many people strive for, leading teams, navigating high-pressure environments, and achieving professional success. But along the way, she also experienced the burnout, pressure, and relentless ambition that can come with it.
Then a serious health crisis changed everything.
A challenging medical diagnosis in 2013 eventually led to brain surgery in 2019 and a lengthy recovery that forced Jane to stop, reflect, and reconsider what success really meant to her.
What became clear was that the most meaningful part of her 30-year career had never been the titles or achievements. It was helping people grow.
That realization became the catalyst for her next chapter.
Today, Jane is a Career Performance Coach and founder of 4T Coaching, where she helps executives, senior leaders, rising professionals, and organizations turn career and workplace challenges into opportunities for meaningful change and stronger performance.
Through her signature framework, the 4T Coaching Method™, Jane combines decades of real-world corporate leadership with a deeply personalized approach to uncover the behaviors, patterns, and roadblocks that can keep talented people from performing at their best.
For organizations and HR leaders, Jane serves as a trusted outside perspective, helping develop leaders, strengthen teams, address performance challenges, navigate change, and retain valuable talent.
For individual professionals, she helps clients gain clarity and confidence as they navigate career pivots, workplace challenges, job searches, leadership growth, and the question so many accomplished people eventually face: “What do I really want next?”
Jane’s work is personal because she has lived her own reinvention. She understands that a setback, transition, or unexpected disruption doesn’t have to be the end of your story. Sometimes, it’s the catalyst that helps you build a career, and a life, that is far more aligned with who you’ve become.
As a speaker and bestselling author of Cracking the Rich Code (Endorsed by Tony Robbins, forward by Brian Tracy), Jane brings that message of resilience, reinvention, purpose, and performance to audiences who are ready to rethink what success looks like and ignite greater impact in their work and lives.
“My company engaged Jane and 4T Consulting twice. The first time was to assess our organization and as a result, we then engaged her to work with three of our directors through her program. Upon completion of the program, we saw each director’s positive progress with themselves and how they worked with their teams. Jane actively worked with Management to set goals and inform them about progress without breaking the confidentiality between her participants. Jane is an experienced coach and partner for any organization looking for coaching. We will engage her again when the need arises.”
