Speaking & Facilitation.
Keynotes and sessions on the human behavioral aspects of leadership for organizations ready to go deeper than the next set of tips.
Most leadership talks send people back to their desks with a few inspirational new ideas and the same patterns running underneath. The notes get put away and behaviors don't really change.
Janet speaks about the patterns running the most well-intentioned leaders when the stakes are high, the imprint they're leaving on the people around them, and the inner work that ultimately makes the difference between intellectually knowing what good leadership looks like and actually leading that way.
Even though the delivery and content is inspiring and motivating, it's not just another motivational tips talk. It's the real conversation most leadership events are missing.
Signature talks.
You Don't Need More Leadership Tips
Why the most experienced leaders are often the most stuck and what actually changes how a leader shows up every day. An honest talk about the gap between what we know about leadership and how we actually lead, and the inner work that closes it. Based on the book, Escape the Traps.
The Seven Traps
Even the most capable leaders get caught in specific, unconscious patterns that hijack the leader they intend to be. This talk names the seven traps, helps each person in the room recognize their own, and offers the first move toward escaping them. Provocative, specific, and immediately personal.
The Imprint You're Leaving
People will forget what you said in the meeting. They won't forget how it felt to be in the room with you. This talk is about the felt residue every leader leaves; the reputation they're creating long before they realize it, and how to lead more consciously. Strong for executive teams and senior leadership audiences.
Pause. Choose. Lead.
The capacity to pause between stimulus and response and to choose how you show up rather than react on autopilot is the most underrated leadership skill there is. This talk is about how grounded, conscious leadership actually works under pressure. Strong as a closing keynote.
For women's leadership events
Inherited: What Women Leaders Carry
Based on original doctoral research, and research on women leaders, this talk explores the unspoken rules accomplished women absorb — be nice, be humble, be likable, be less bossy — and what it looks like to challenge them, choose differently, and lead the future.
Formats.
I work in several formats depending on what an event or organization needs:
Keynotes
40 to 60 minutes. Conferences, leadership summits, company all-hands, executive gatherings.
Executive team sessions
Half-day or full-day facilitated work with a senior team, going deeper than a keynote allows. Often the most powerful format.
Workshops & masterclasses
Interactive sessions for leadership cohorts and high-potential groups, built around the traps, the imprint, or the inner work of leadership.
Fireside chats & moderated conversations
For events that want depth in a conversational format.
Who I speak for.
I speak for organizations that are committed to leadership development— corporate leadership summits, executive offsites, women's leadership events, professional associations, and conferences.
