Dr. Janet Lapp is a clinical psychologist, and organizational transformation expert who turns deep trauma science into high‐energy, human‐centered talks that audiences quote for years. A former professor, registered nurse, and licensed pilot, she blends 35+ years of clinical neuroscience, leadership consulting, and global adventure into keynotes that are as practical as they are unforgettable.
Born in Québec, Canada, Janet earned her PhD in Clinical Psychology from McGill University and completed post‐doctoral work with the Montreal Neurological Institute, collaborating with pioneers in stress and brain research. Her early career spanned acute psychiatric care, electrophysiology labs, migraine and sleep research, and family‐systems therapy—giving her a rare, ground‐level view of how trauma
lives in the body, the mind, and the family.
Her shift from clinic to boardroom began when a dysfunctional executive team at a major bank became her ‘patient.’ She realized the same psychological patterns she saw in therapy rooms were showing up in conference rooms—only no one had the language to name them. Since then, she has inspired over 4,500 audiences across six continents, working with clients such as IBM, AT&T, Allstate, New York Life, Abbott, Bayer, Toyota, and Kawasaki to lead through fast change with emotional agility and humanity.
Janet is the creator and host of the Emmy‐nominated CBS series Keep Well and the author of several best‐selling books, including Plant Your Feet Firmly in Mid‐Air, Dancing with Tigers, Positive Spin, Why Won’t They Listen to Me?, and The Four Elements of Transformation. Her forthcoming book, Wired Different, offers a fresh, neuroscience‐informed lens on trauma healing that underpins her keynotes.
Fluent in English, French, and Spanish, she is an admitted member of the Speakers Hall of Fame and one year was rated by Toastmasters as one of the top three speakers worldwide.
In this high‑energy, laugh‑out‑loud keynote, Dr. Janet Lapp pulls the ghost out of the conference room and gives leaders a shared language for trauma, triggers, and
resilience—no therapy couch required.
It’s said that 70% of people in the workplace have experienced or are experiencing trauma. Unseen trauma is now among the most powerful and least discussed forces inside modern workplaces. It quietly blocks feedback, learning, collaboration, and change, even in highly capable teams.
With humor, neuroscience, and interactive exercises, you learn how to: Spot the ‘invisible colleague’—unhealed trauma that shows up as hypervigilance, perfectionism, and people‑pleasing. You’ll never call co-workers ‘toxic’ or ‘difficult’ again. Decode the three trauma tells nobody talks about.
Play ‘Workplace Trauma Bingo’—an interactive pattern‑spotting game that helps leaders recognize and adaptations in themselves and others back at work.
Stop the ‘helpful’ mistakes that re‑traumatize. Build trauma‑informed workplaces that prioritize safety, predictability, and microvalidations over toxic positivity.
By the end, you will:
Trauma isn’t a problem to fix. It’s a pattern to understand, a nervous system to honor,
and a story that wants to be met with safety, not solutions.
This isn’t just entertainment. It’s the missing manual for how humans actually show up
at work—and how to meet them there with curiosity instead of judgment.
“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!”
