MSc

LDN, UK
Known as the expert in difficult workplace conversations, Janet helps audiences build confidence to have more inclusive conversations.

Janet's keynote speeches and training programs are like nothing you have seen before! With her humour, and creative methods, she has unleashed 1000s of supressed conversations, resulting in better team collaboration and increasing productivity.

Her speciality is encouraging people in the workplace to have very difficult conversations by using creative tools such as medium of rap music (not a spelling mistake) which enables people to articulate their thoughts with confidence and power.

Studies show that avoiding difficult conversations have an adverse effect on mental health. Repressed emotions flood the bloodstream with cortisol and a prolonged release of cortisol keeps the body in a fight-or-flight state, which weakens our immune system.

Janet is passionate about helping people express themselves respectively when they feel frustrated or stagnant.

• She has lived in 6 different countries and is slightly dog obsessed

Janet is an award-winning speaker determined to use strategic conversation to develop strong leaders. Through exploring diverse scenarios, she 'DARES' the audience to have productive and courageous conversations that lead to results, not arguments.
