STUDIES
& TESTIMONIALS
The leaders I work with are already successful—and ready for a different kind of growth. Through The IN WAY, they develop what I call Boldly Human Leadership—the capacity to lead with clarity, presence, and humanity in ways that create meaningful, real‑world impact.
The work is deeply personal.
And the results are visible.
Not only in what leaders achieve—but in how they think, relate, and lead.
Examples include work with leaders at organizations such as Microsoft, PepsiCo, Ogilvy, DPR Construction, and others.
What follows are examples of how this work has unfolded in practice.
CEO of Microsoft (Mexico)
Technology | Executive Leadership Development
-
Highly regarded for driving the company’s growth and helping close the digital divide in his country, this senior leader was deeply respected by his Executive Committee. At the same time, his leadership style was often experienced as forceful, which made it difficult for others to speak openly.
He entered coaching with a clear aspiration: to become a more inspiring, approachable, and strategic leader while preparing for a potential promotion.
A central focus of the work became cultivating greater presence, connecting more personally and grounded attention—capacities essential for deep listening and strategic thinking.
Leadership Focus
• presence and grounded attention
• deep listening
• collaborative dialogue
Outcome
• stronger executive dialogue and collaboration
• deeper strategic thinking
• promotion to the leadership role he had been pursuing
CEO of Atos (Mexico Sector)
Technology | Executive Leadership Development
-
Renowned for his brilliance and strategic acumen, this CEO engaged in coaching while preparing for a major leadership transition within the organization.
Leadership assessments revealed a key development opportunity: strengthening his capacity to face and manage conflict constructively.
Through the coaching process he developed the ability to address difficult conversations more directly and with greater steadiness.
Leadership Focus
• conflict navigation
• constructive dialogue
• leadership presence under pressure
Outcome
• increased trust within the leadership team
• more open and productive dialogue
• smooth transition into his new executive role
He later retired from industry leadership and now works as a coach himself.
TESTIMONIALS
“Working with Janice Muniz has been an amazing and invaluable experience. She helped me uncover strengths I didn’t even know I had and gave me tools and strategies that completely changed how I see myself and my abilities. I’m continually grateful for her guidance and support.
She introduced me to new concepts that expanded my perspective and helped me make sense of ideas I had been struggling to fully understand. Her patience, wisdom, and ability to connect have been truly inspiring. Thanks to her, I not only see my own growth but also feel motivated to use my skills to help others.
Janice has been such a positive influence on my journey, and I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a coach who can truly make a difference. Working with her has been a gift, and I’ll always be grateful for the impact she’s had on my life.”
