Janet’s most requested virtual program, focuses on actions to take now to manage stress and create the new future. Options are:
“That Janet is relatable, upbeat, and very engaging. Our group loved the spin that she put on how to deal with real issues with change. She did her research on our organization so she knew what to talk about to be relatable.”
“Very pleased with Janet! As a closing speaker for the day, she tied the full day of events together extremely well!”
“Everything went really well. The group loved her!”
“Janet did a great job. I have not had a keynote with that kind of energy before. She had them entertained and charged up and there was a swarm of participants at her table afterwards.”
“Dr. Lapp was AMAZING – she did a phenomenal job closing out our conference on a wonderfully positive note. She connected individually with participants throughout the conference, asking probing questions and gathering feedback that she worked directly into her presentation. During the presentation itself, we laughed with her, we cried with her, and then we laughed some more. In addition to the emotional release, she provided some paradigm-smashing perspectives that we can all take back with us to use with others as well as inspire us in our own work. Really, it was better than I’d expected, and my expectations were pretty high!”
