About Janae
What if success didn’t just look good on paper — but felt great, too? Janae Bell is a Harvard College graduate, Harvard Business School MBA candidate (Second Year Honors), and ICF-Certified Life & Business Coach. Currently working in talent strategy at a leading big tech firm, she helps high achievers align their careers with their personal purpose. With experience in management consulting and big tech, she works with professionals, entrepreneurs, and leaders who want more than just success on paper — they want to feel energized and fulfilled by their work.

As an official Harvard alumna interviewer, she also offers insider insights into the college and MBA admissions process, helping applicants position themselves powerfully. Her mission? To help high achievers build careers and lives that are not only successful but deeply fulfilling.
Why do I coach?
I used to walk through the motions, feeling disconnected from the true purpose behind my work. Despite achieving outward success, there was a sense that something was missing. It wasn’t until I gained clarity on what truly lights me up — and how to align my career with my core values — that I began feeling energized and excited every day. Coaching matters to me because I’ve experienced firsthand the power of gaining clarity and direction. I've worked through the uncertainty, the doubt, and the fear, and I understand how challenging it can be to break free from the grind and start living and working with intention. That’s why I’m passionate about helping others do the same. Coaching has transformed my own life, and now I’m dedicated to guiding others as they uncover their purpose, create clarity, and build careers that feel fulfilling. It’s about more than just checking boxes — it’s about living and working in a way that makes you feel excited and aligned with who you are and where you're going.
