With a lifetime of teaching, coaching and public speaking experience, Chuck Jansen can successfully reach people at all levels – from high school students to professional real estate agents. Now, after more than a decade of study, Chuck’s focus is teaching anyone who will listen about the transforming healing power of forgiveness. He truly believes Forgiveness Education Works!

Chuck received his bachelor and master degrees at Loyola University in Theology and Education. He started his career teaching and coaching high school students. In 1987, he began a successful real estate career, consistently ranking in the top 5% of realtors, by focusing on relationships through personal contact and communication.

In 2013, after receiving a challenge from his spiritual director, Chuck began studying forgiveness. He found that forgiveness is not intrinsic, but rather an acquired skill to be learned. He also found there are common denominators to the forgiveness journey and he developed an extensive curriculum that outlines those common steps. This curriculum is available online in an easy-to-use multimedia format. Chuck has facilitated retreats in parishes and prisons, and has been a repeat guest on Relevant Radio, a Catholic station broadcast to over 200 affiliates.

Chuck has been married to Diane since 1980 and has three children and five grandchildren. He is an active member of his church community and several volunteer organizations.
