Janice Goldman is a nationally recognized transformational speaker, empowerment coach, and facilitator who regularly speak at conferences and events throughout the United States. Her media appearances have included ABC News, Chicago Sun-Times, Fox 32 News, DNAinfoChicago, Refinery29, and Make it Better. She has developed a signature presentation and workshop series that includes the issues surrounding how to talk about money.

A survivor herself, she has endured numerous obstacles in her life. At the age of 35, her husband passed away from leukemia while she was pregnant with twins. To her surprise, her husband's estate was not set up properly, and as a result, she was left with nothing. With twins on the way, she had no time to fall apart and mourn. Instead, she took charge of her financial life and built a successful business as a financial advisor. She knows first-hand the struggles of being a single woman and single mother. Recently remarried, she has also discovered the challenges of blending a family.

Having developed the Women's Financial Services Division at Howe Barnes Hoefer & Arnett and worked as Senior Vice President/Vice President at such prominent financial institutions as Salomon Smith Barney, Mesirow Financial and Merrill Lynch, she has over 32 years of financial experience under her belt. She specializes in working with women who need to learn how to make the necessary choices in order to thrive in their financial and personal lives. Most of her clients are women who have survived personal setbacks such as divorce, widowhood, illness, or disability. Her mission is to help women not only survive these setbacks but to also help them embrace their financial and life goals and dreams.

Janice earned a BA from the University of Arizona and also hold a MA in Arts Administration from California State University and a MA in Counseling and Guidance from Northeastern University.
