Janet expertly guided me during our one on one follow up session after my Vision Board Online classes. I was so proud when she presented me with my Certificate as a "Certified Vision Board Coach". It has definitely helped me establish a level of professionalism when I pitch my coaching services for retreats and clients. I also had the pleasure of assisting/shadowing during one of Janet's large Credit Union vision board workshops so I could learn hands on how to setup a large class. Janet's level of intelligence, entrepreneurial expertise and creative abilities blend so perfectly and leave you with a sense of clear vision after sessions with her.

Janet is one of those rare people who makes everything feel a little more possible. She has this incredible ability to see the big, bold vision in someone—and then help them actually move toward it. Janet always shows up in my life with encouragement, sending helpful connections my way, or pointing me toward just the right resource at just the right time.

She’s not just inspiring—she’s actionable. She’s helped countless people in our community bring their ideas to life, pivot during transitions, and grow in ways they never thought possible. And she brings serious experience to the table—from helping launch countless businesses to offering expert guidance on things like strategic planning, certifications, and training programs.

Honestly, I always joke that all roads in the Capital Region lead back to Janet—and the longer I’ve known her, the more true it becomes. She’s a connector, a coach, a cheerleader, and a true force for good. If you’ve got a dream, Janet’s the kind of person who will help you believe in it—and then get to work making it happen.

I've had the privilege of working with Janet Tanguay in several capacities over the past few years. Most importantly, as a business coach Janet was instrumental in helping me strategize, plan and establish the connections needed to create and open my store Sand Lake Merchant. Her approach to business coaching allowed me to identify blind spots, connect with resources that I wouldn't have otherwise known of and provide me with the confidence in myself that I would need to become a successful entrepreneur! I highly recommend Janet for business coaching and applaud the work she does through The Hammock Way of Life.

I can’t recommend The Hammock Way of Life enough. Working with Janet, the founder, has been one of the most valuable experiences in my entrepreneurial journey. I first met Janet while attending the Entrepreneur Boot Camp she led at the Albany Chamber of Commerce. From the start, her professionalism, passion, and deep knowledge were evident.

Janet helped me structure my business with clarity and confidence, and supported my aspirations to grow as a life coach. She also played a key role in helping me secure a public speaking engagement that aligned perfectly with my mission—adding real momentum to my professional growth.

Most importantly, she guided me through the process of obtaining my New York State Minority Business Enterprise (NYS MBE) certification. What could have been a stressful and complicated process was made simple thanks to her clear direction, encouragement, and expertise.

If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about your success and can help you streamline your goals—whether it’s business structuring, certifications, or professional development—Hammock Way of Life is the way to go.
