Biography

Bio

Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
This last line of the late Mary Oliver’s poem, Summer Day, is the essence of Jane Kerschner’s work in the world. The theme of her career has been supporting the personal growth and development of others as they transition through different events and stages of life. Being a seeker, Jane always starts as a learner in her search for meaning and purpose, then guides others through using her skills as educator, ontological coach, facilitator, trainer, and colleague.

When Jane turned 60, she chose to pursue the path of wise elder. Currently, she focuses her practice on creating critical conversations with individuals and groups on addressing the challenges and opportunities of creating ‘what’s next’. In addition to her private coaching clients, she facilitates Reinventing Retirement and Wise Aging Seminars in the Washington Metro area and at Chautauqua Institute in Chautauqua, NY. Jane is thrilled to contribute to the evolving paradigm of aging.

Jane holds certifications from The Coach Partnership Health Coaching Program, Retirement Options™, Newfield Network Coach Training, International Coaching Federation, True Purpose Institute®, Five Rings Somatic Coaching, and Wise Aging Facilitation with the Institute of Jewish Spirituality. Jane has a BS in education from Northwestern University, and MA degrees in Human Development from George Washington University and Human Performance Systems Improvement from Marymount University.

Jane’s ‘what’s next’ includes meaningful work and play, volunteer pursuits, spending summers in Chautauqua, NY with her husband, Chaz, and being a grandmother!
