Community work
Supporting the Community
At the heart of my work is a commitment to improving the human experience. Whether you are neighbours, friends, family members or colleagues, I create space for you to have open and honest conversations about death and dying. And also provide you with the opportunity to contemplate how you live life fully.
Workshops
Opening up honest, light-hearted conversations about death and dying with family, friends or colleagues through online or in-person workshops including:
The FUNeral Planning Party
One to be experienced with family, friends or colleagues. During this session, I create a light-hearted guided space for you to reflect, plan and personalise your farewell. And you'll get to know how others would like to be commemorated and celebrated too.
The Exit Plan
In this session, we cover portrayals of death and dying on screen, look at admin you might want to consider getting in order, and start some thinking around what legacy you might want to leave behind.
Diving into the Death Deck
The Death Deck provides the opportunity for memorable discussions based on topics surrounding death and dying. Pull a card and let's see where the conversation takes us!
Speaking and Thought Leadership
I speak and write about death, dying and my own personal experience, bringing warmth, honesty and a fresh perspective.
- Keynote and panel speaking
- Thought leadership articles, interviews and podcast appearances
- Facilitating group conversations and roundtables for organisations, charities and community groups
Recent speaking engagements and contributions include the This Can Happen Conference, Inspiring Workplaces, University of Bath School of Management, the Inspirrall podcast, The Telegraph, Cruse Bereavement Support and the Institute of Internal Communications.
What people say
The FUNeral Planning Party was thought-provoking, supportive and surprisingly uplifting for a topic that can feel quite heavy.
Jane created a really open and friendly space where everyone felt comfortable sharing and reflecting.
I came away feeling much clearer and more confident about my own plans, and also inspired to keep the conversation going with my family.
Your warmth and guidance made something that could feel daunting into a really positive and valuable experience.
The fact that Jane has lived experience meant she could offer guidance on navigating some of the areas which can be difficult.
A lovely workshop which I'm sure we will be talking about for some time.
