Hi, I'm Dr. Janel!  

I know that today’s leaders are navigating a complex, ever-changing landscape—grappling with unprecedented challenges and relentless advances in technology. The pressure to adapt while balancing innovation can feel overwhelming, especially when teams are more disconnected than ever despite having more ways to constantly connect than ever before.

For over 25 years, I've been helping leaders build stronger human connections and thrive amid disruption. My experience spans working in a startup, a global tech company, and as a college professor, giving me a unique perspective on how work and communication have evolved. I understand what it takes to foster collaboration, trust, and open communication, even in the most complex environments.

While we can’t predict the future, I’m confident that we can handle whatever comes our way. By thinking ahead, adapting faster, and engaging meaningfully, we can turn disruption into opportunity.

Let’s embrace the future together—with connection, clarity, and confidence.

"We’ve been spending a lot of time on remaking our culture over the last year and  I couldn’t be more grateful for Janel's help in the process – thank you! You provided strategies that we can use right now and many of them are not time-intensive, but will have a considerable impact on how leaders feel about their work."

- Steve Grove, DEED Commissioner
