Dr. Lapp has received many academic honors, and in 1998 was inducted into the Speakers Hall of Fame, an honor held by fewer than 100 professional speakers worldwide.
Janet is a skilled commercial, instrument-rated pilot and often flies to many of her engagements, allowing her to land at airports often closer to your meeting venue that are impossible for larger jets … and cutting down the stress, tedium, and time of commercial travel. With around 20 years of flying experience, she has piloted an aircraft through some of the most beautiful and threatening areas of the world from Africa to South America.
She is a member of LIGA, The Flying Doctors of Mercy, who each month travel to Mexico to work with the medical needs of the people of Sinaloa, Mexico, one of the poorest regions of Mexico. She encourages donations and volunteers sign-ups.
Corporate audiences respect her development of a multi-million dollar consulting firm and the success she had had in leadership positions herself, and in developing some of the finest leaders in North America.
Each presentation is completely customized, which means that you don't have to choose just one topic. After our team's research into your needs, we will decide together which components best fit. Each presentation is individually designed to reinforce the objectives of your meeting, to address the specific challenges and concerns facing your audience, and to provide practical, take-home value.
Do NOT ask Dr. Janet Lapp to speak to your group if you want to be comfortable with a business-as-usual speaker-nor, for that fact, if you want just a speaker. Yes, she will entertain and inspire, BUT she will also challenge, provoke, and confront. And her outcomes are guaranteed.
Programs and brief descriptions:
- Plant Your Feet Firmly in Mid-Air
Management is dead. Motivational leadership is passé. Every major system is in the process of a major shift. Leadership in this new era requires the ability to think and lead others in new ways. Drawing on her 25 years of pioneering work with international leaders and peak performers in all fields, this inspirational business program will give you up-to-date information on new trends impacting your world.
These days, everyone is the company can develop and use leadership skills. Do not wait to be told what to do. You know your company's values and mission. Make decisions based on those and you cannot go far wrong. The worst thing you can do is to sit back and do nothing, with the excuse that you were not told. The most important activity during fast change is to keep moving forward, and the worst thing you can do when things are uncertain are to stop completely.
This program is designed to help people:
Discover opportunities in rapid change rather than focus on problems, see the positives in current change, thus keep their team morale high, and to develop personal and team accountability.
- Guilt in One Hand, Briefcase in the Other
How much do high stress levels and work overload cost your company in lost work days, employee burnout, and decreased productivity? The workplace is so busy that very few have the time to take care of themselves, stay fit, and 'balance' their multiple roles. This high-energy, fun presentation will provide the latest research findings on stress, how to keep fully charged and full-speed ahead without getting off-road or out of fuel. Although real balance may not be possible these days, most people are playing the fool's game of trying to keep up; they doing too much and are unable to discriminate high payoff from low payoff activities.
This program will leave people with permission to let go of low-payoff activities, of knowing what is realistic and doable, and provide tools for focus both at home and at work. They will learn state-of-the-art information on how to stay filled with energy, keep their relationships humming, learn fast but effective ways to fight stress, and improve their performance overall.
- How To Take Risks, and Win under Pressure
Conventional thinking can't keep up with exponential change. Many people have become complacent in their jobs (and their lives), and have stopped pushing themselves into new areas which may be uncomfortable for them. This is the best program when you want your people to leave with new tools and ways of thinking that will create a mindset not of passivity and follower-ship, but of activity and leadership. Creativity and innovation occur at the edge of discovery, when one is pushing oneself into new behaviors and ideas. Giants turned into extinct dinosaurs by playing by the old rules when the game had changed. This program is a wakeup call to the future, and is especially meaningful for incentive winners who, even though they are already top performers, need to keep raising the bar and not rest on the winner's pedestal.
Additional points covered in How To Take Risks, and Win under Pressure:
- Three characteristics of risk-taking and how to develop them.
- Characteristics that distinguish outstanding performers.
- The four most common faults that inhibit productivity, performance and profits
- How to overcome four common blocks that prevent winners from repeating.
- Why winners should always 'mess with success'.
