Janet Ioli

About Us

I’m Janet Ioli

For the past 20+ years, I have been helping leaders consistently choose and create the most powerful and impactful version of themselves.

What does that mean?

That means that they show up with confidence & charisma, have more influence, build strong teams & relationships, react less, make better decisions, and get results that matter.

About Me

I grew up in Athens, Greece, attended an international school with representation from 12 different countries, and have lived and worked outside the United States. This background has provided me with a global orientation that naturally welcomes and seeks diverse perspectives and ways of approaching reality.

I have held leadership positions inside Fortune 200 companies such as Cigna, Gannett/USA Today, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman– leading teams providing leadership training and coaching, leadership succession planning, and tools to enable organizational change and growth.

I’ve personally had the pleasure to work with thousands of leaders in different industries and countries, helping them deliver positive results through impactful and effective leadership.

My practical experience is complemented by a deep educational background in business and organizational development and post-graduate work in adult learning and human development.

I tell you about this background to let you know that I really do get it. I understand first-hand the complexities and realities you face as a leader. I am realistic and practical and can help you navigate how things really are in order to influence change to what can be. I also have the education and theoretical grounding in leadership, change, neuroscience, psychology, coaching, and human development to draw on real tools and research to inform the how.

How I can help

I have spent the past 20+ years helping leaders learn to:

  • Access a more grounded place of power and show up with their most powerful and impactful presence wherever they are.
  • Manage and re-purpose the cycle of self-doubt that often invades their minds.
  • Navigate and lead transitions and build strong relationships, teams, and networks.

And I’ve provided them with real tools to train themselves to:

  • Step back and observe from afar the bigger systems they are operating in.
  • Depersonalize situations and make conscious choices instead of reacting with controlling, protective, defensive, and survival mechanisms.
  • Lead intentionally and deliver results that matter.

I can help you be more intentional about the leader you want to be and choose the thoughts, words, actions, and appearance that will help you become that leader.
