Janine spent 20 years working her way across the world putting together award-winning marketing campaigns and strategies for high-profile brands like Ralph Lauren, Oroton, Jaeger, Sainsbury’s Homebase and Citizen Watches.

Janine believes that today, more than ever we need people, teams and companies willing to put in the extra needed to be truly brilliant. That we need leaders who are connected to their purpose and who will drive change. We need individuals brilliant enough to lead both in today’s complex environment and into tomorrow’s unknowns.
This requires collaboration, transformation and leverage and it demands better conversations, training and connection.
Janine believes everyone has brilliance within waiting to be unleashed. This is what being really remarkable is. This is the power that you have to be your brilliant self, to make the remarkable happen and this is why she does the work that she does.

Talking Points
It's Who You Know - How to network & connect for success
We’ve all been told, ‘you really have to network’ if you want to build success. It's Who You Know - How to network & connect for success
And yet, most of us really HATE the term networking, let alone going out there and doing it.
Networking has become a superficial numbers game, a transactional swapping of business cards, names and virtual ‘likes’ or ‘connects’ online. Of bland ‘order taking’ with no real depth, relationship building, or long-term result.
In this digitally connected world, we seem to be more disconnected than ever. But, here’s the thing - strategic networking, intentional connection and knowing how to build the right personal and professional network is extraordinarily powerful and creates real leverage.
It is part of the winning formula that separates those that succeed and those that do not.
In this keynote Janine will:
- Challenge the traditional approach to networking
- Argue the need to relearn how to connect as human beings
- Share a proven framework to network building in person and in the virtual world.
- Inspire your teams to become more intentional about how they network and connect.
Collaboration - Unlocking Team Success
The business landscape in which we are all operating is changing at an incredibly fast pace. Collaboration - Unlocking Team Success
The future of work, of what we are doing and how is ever evolving.
The result? The organisations in which we are having to ideate and innovate, manage and lead, think and deliver, are becoming increasingly complex.
Here’s the real challenge - that ‘Me’ space we’ve lived in for so long isn’t enough anymore.
To succeed on a long-term, sustainable basis, we need to engage and innovate, work together, to make things happen. We cannot move quickly enough alone. We must move quickly together, as collective intelligence.
Together, we work faster and smarter. This new collaborative way of working is key. Moving from Me to We is essential for ideation, creation, innovation and influence.
You will leave this keynote feeling more than just motivated or convinced you need to work together. You will leave with an understanding of how to influence more, collaborate better and drive impact to ensure present and future relevance.
Empower Change - Diversity Matters
Sure the workplace is changing, but it is still not a place of equality.Empower Change - Diversity Matters
Unless we all collaborate and work together unless we break down the current barriers to diversity, the lack of
female leaders now will drastically affect the pipeline of female leadership for tomorrow.
There will be no funnelling of talent, no monitoring or active sponsoring of younger women- because the senior female leaders simply won’t be there to see these things put in place.
The increasing influence of women is challenging us all to adapt and realign ourselves to the needs of a new society. Engaging women in the workplace, especially at the leadership level, is an essential part of the new collaborative economy.
In this impactful and insightful keynote Janine will:
- Challenge you, your female leaders and rising stars to do more
- Share how we are all responsible for change today and tomorrow
- Explore how we can change ourselves and the next generation to come; how we can change the world now
and together create a more balanced world.
Leadership Lessons - My Journey of Reinvention and the Lessons Learnt
Janine has often been called the Queen of Reinvention.Leadership Lessons - My Journey of Reinvention and the Lessons Learnt
Born in the North of England in a traditional male household, Janine was the first in her family to break the
mold and leave home at 18 to go to university. After university, she started a corporate career in London, rose through the ranks and then decided at the age of 30 to pack everything in to move to Australia with only a
backpack. The career rebuild began and over the next 10 years, Janine built a successful corporate marketing
career putting together award-winning marketing campaigns and strategies for high-profile brands like Ralph Lauren, Oroton, and Citizen Watches.
At the age of 40, Janine decided to start all over again, leaving the corporate world behind to begin her entrepreneurial venture.
And she’s done it again, selling her business in March 2019 to focus on writing, training and speaking.
As she says, “throughout my career, there have been two constants - the packing and repacking of my backpack and me”.
This keynote is jammed with Janine’s personal stories of success and failure as a businessperson, mother and
woman as she shares her leadership lessons that everyone can apply to their own life and work.
Be Brilliant - Why connecting to your true potential is the game changer
Brilliance is a choice.Be Brilliant - Why connecting to your true potential is the game changer
Brilliance is a practice.
Brilliance is a discipline.
In your teams exist the ideas and innovations you’re searching for to drive the change that’s needed.
And in your business lies the brilliance that will set you apart from the competition, that will give you the edge, that will guarantee your next growth plan.
But here’s the thing. Brilliance does not magically appear. At a time when stress levels, comparison-it is and self doubt are all on the rise, unleashing inner brilliance requires us to get out of our own way to unlock our true potential.
In this new world we’re all learning to live in - what choice do we really have but to become the best version of ourselves that we can.
In this keynote Janine will:
- Share the barriers to our brilliance
- Inspire ownership and resetting of boundaries
- Share the 4 Laws of Brilliance - the framework that Janine codified in her book, Be Brilliant, following 3 years of research and interviews
- Motivate individuals and teams to lean in and be part of the change that is needed.
