CHOOSE TO RISE: Transform Adversity into Triumph

Janine inspires leaders and organizations to create balance, fulfillment, and resilience by finding the courage to rise in the face of adversity.

Janine Stange is a motivational speaker, singer, and on-air personality. She is best known for her historic journey to sing the Star-Spangled Banner in all 50 states – a mission she embarked on to honor our brave. Her story is the subject of “National Anthem Girl” a documentary by Kelly’s Filmworks now streaming on Amazon Prime.


Janine has been featured on every major television network, and appeared on national news shows including: TODAY Show, Fox & Friends, NBC Nightly News, and Fox News @ Night. She can be heard every Thursday morning on Sirius XM’s 60’s Gold with Phlash Phelps.  


Stange has spoken at events across the country ranging from Fortune 500 companies to inner-city public schools.  She connects to all ages and backgrounds providing a sense of citizenship, duty, and what service-over-self really means. She works closely with non-profits that empower and give back to our military and their families. In 2015, Janine also became the first person to sing the national anthem every hour, 24 hours straight as part of an effort to raise funds for a military charity.


In her keynote speech, “Discover Your Mission” – she takes the audience along on her journey. Through stories that are both comical and moving, Stange identifies the pitfalls to goals – and shares five life lessons that helped her navigate through and realize her 50-state goal. Ultimately Janine Stange helps others uncover their own unique life mission and activates them to do what they can, with what they have, where they are. 


"Janine checks the “exceptional” box on every level.  Exceptional at engaging and reading the audience while delivering relevant, action items that can be applied in all aspects of life from business to personal to family - which is so important these days.  She’s funny and topical but best of all she kept it moving with no “dead spots” during her time on stage and we all know dead spots can make or break a speaker with an audience especially in today’s attention challenged world. If you’re looking to have an absolute rockstar speaker on your stage, I would recommend you consider booking Janine for you’ll be glad you did.  Plus, her voice when performing the National Anthem (which I recommend you have her sing at the end of her talk ) will bring chills to your skin and tears to your audience’s eyes.  She is truly exceptional." - Todd M.
