Speaking
Change is not disruption.
It is the evolution of the individual. Janine speaks to leaders, teams and communities about what change asks of the people living through it, and how to move through it with structure and intention.
Some changes are hard. They also build something.
Janine challenges the widely held belief that change is inherently negative. Some experiences are genuinely difficult and disruptive, and they also reshape how people think, what they value, and how they move forward.
She brings over 15 years of leading organizational change to the stage, together with her own experience of major life transitions. She translates overwhelm into structured, actionable movement.
Her talks are built on the DO.ITChange™ Method and the Faria-Lequay Shift Pattern Index™, a change method and a change assessment she created. Every idea on stage connects to a tool people can keep using.
Signature topics
Each talk is shaped to the audience in the room, from senior leaders to people in the middle of a personal transition.
01
Change Is Not Disruption: Understanding the Evolution of the Individual
Why the hardest changes also develop perspective, strength and capability, and how to recognize that growth while you are still inside the change.
02
Why Change Feels Chaotic, and What to Do About It
Change is emotional. Chaos is optional. Where the overwhelm comes from, and how structure turns it into a next step.
03
From Reaction to Ownership: A Structured Approach to Change
The four phases of the DO.ITChange™ Method, Discover, Own, Implement and Transform, and how to move from reacting to a change to leading your response to it.
