THINK BIG ACT BOLD
Do something SO bold, that a year from now, when we are through this, you’ll shout: “I can’t believe we/did that!”
Especially during disruptive change, this program is personally inspirational. However, the effects extend to the workplace … as people become bolder, more confident, take more risks, think larger - despite circumstances.
Janet brings the lessons of her experiences as a National Triathlon Champion, Ironman competitor, and pilot who’s flown through the world … to inspire you to think the impossible and do the unimaginable. Her stories highlight overcoming depths, resilient comebacks, and miraculous survivals.
You will knock away outdated pillars, blow away perceptions of what’s possible, rewrite your story and create a new set of rules. In so doing, life will be expanded as never before.

- Rewrite old stories and old rules.

–Bell Canada
She captured the hearts and minds of our group and left them with the belief that the changes they are experiencing can be positive, no matter what. She did that by her credibility, and then with just side-splitting humor and compelling stories that took them from laughter to tears. They learned exactly what skills they needed, and practiced them right in the session, and actually started developing the mindset ..In the end, she led them to rekindling their passion and remembering why they entered their jobs in the first place. She also addressed our group from Quebec in French, which was much appreciated

–Molson Canada
Janet hit a home run at our Senior Leadership retreat with a much-talked-about and highly-valued session. It is amazing how much she was able to discover about the Allstate culture and weave it into her program, it was like she was one of us. She opened our leadership's eyes to what has changed, what they need to do, and gave them the push to do it. Really amazing.
–Allstate Insurance
That is exactly what we have been trying to get through to them - you really did your homework. Thanks for a great program and some eye-opening messages.
–Verifone
From the very start you had this large group of seasoned and sometimes cynical group of senior sales managers absolutely mesmerized. At the end they not only had tremendously helpful tools to guide them through our changes, but felt inspired and encouraged to make it all work. Your rousing standing ovation (rare for this group) says it all and is a testament to your talent and skill at this.
–IBM
