Dr. Janet Lapp's speaking fee falls within range: $15,000 to $20,000
Dr. Janet Lapp was born and raised in Québec, Canada, earned her PhD from McGill University in Montréal, and has spent her career at the intersection of clinical psychology and human transformation. A former professor, researcher, registered nurse, and licensed clinical psychologist, she brings both scientific rigor and hard-won personal insight to everything she does.
Over the past 30 years she has inspired over 3,800 audiences around the world, from Russia to Argentina to Hong Kong, with clients including IBM, AT&T, Allstate, New York Life, Toyota, and Blue Cross. She is a dual citizen, presents in three languages, and regularly consults throughout Europe and the Americas. She has been admitted to the Speakers Hall of Fame and was rated one year by Toastmasters as one of the top three speakers worldwide.
Her clinical work has always run alongside her speaking career. With decades of trauma-focused practice, she is the developer of the Trauma Adaptation Profile (TAP-Profile), a dimensional framework that helps high-functioning adults understand why their brai n adapted the way it did and how to rewire it.
Her forthcoming book Wired Different: The Hidden Patterns of Trauma and How to Heal Them brings that framework to a general audience for the first time, offering a map for the millions who have done the therapy, read the books, and still lie awake asking “why am I still like this?”
She is the author of five books, including Plant Your Feet Firmly in Mid-Air, used by the Ritz-Carlton and IBM to support organizational transformation, as well as Dancing with Tigers, Positive Spin, Why Won’t They Listen to Me?, and The Four Elements of Transformation.
The creator and host of the CBS series Keep Well, she has appeared regularly on INN, ABC, CNN, and NBC affiliates. A licensed pilot and flight instructor, she has flown throughout South America and Africa on medical and rescue missions and volunteers in remote indigenous communities in central México.
Dr. Janet Lapp hits on the key ingredients of effective leadership in this compilation of her keynote speeches. When you’re a leader, getting results hinges on your attitude, your ability to inspire, and your ability to guide. Citing Moses as an example, she points out that the final destination of the ancient Israelites really wasn’t a land of “milk and honey,” but he was able to use this image to inspire his people to get out of Egypt and across the Red Sea. “Your people are always asking you for a map,” she concludes. “But there isn’t a map. There’s only a compass.”
Since today’s business climate is anything but usual, Dr. Janet Lapp’s presentations go way beyond an ordinary keynote. Able to present in three languages (English, French, and Spanish), Janet equips organizations that are going through fast change with the skills they need to thrive in the future. Janet instills in leaders resilience, flexibility, optimism and courage, helping attendees spread these qualities to their teams after her program has concluded.
Lead through Disruptive Change
Successful transformation during disruptive change demands the power of inside-out leadership that builds connection through openness, vulnerability, and flexibility.
This program assesses these strengths and sets up a system of change in an entertaining, fun, interactive style that cuts down resistance and increases involvement.
Core message: the worst thing you can do is to sit back and wait until tech stabilizes. The window of opportunity closes fast.
The most important thing you can do is to keep moving forward as a hands-on, fully engaged leader that creates the level of engagement needed to lead people through the AI revolution.
In this Living Lab, senior leaders gently evaluate their own reactions and resistances to change, and map out a blueprint of actions and attitudes that will help them move their people effectively through any change process.
Do the Impossible
THINK BIG, ACT BOLD, MOVE AHEAD. Do something SO bold, that a year from now you’ll say: “I can’t believe I/we did that!”
PROBLEM: Disruptive change creates a chance to get bolder, more confident, take more risks, think larger … no matter what. But for many people, change causes fear, timidity, retreat and sometimes, paralysis.
Lessons following a survival story, Humour is used to reduce the threat of tough stories, so they may be integrated and used.
To inspire you to think the impossible and do the unimaginable not just with inspiration, but with action.
Janet brings the lessons of her experiences not just as a Clinical Psychologist but as a National Triathlon Champion, Ironman competitor, and pilot who’s flown her own plane in threatening parts of the world … to inspire you to think the impossible and do the unimaginable.
Her stories highlight overcoming depths, resilient comebacks, and miraculous survivals.
Knock away outdated pillars, blow away perceptions of what’s possible, rewrite your story and create a new set of rules. In so doing, life will be expanded as never before.
TAKEAWAYS - Motivate yourself to push beyond. - Rewrite old stories and old rules. - Push back limiting blocks. - Develop a personal Change Airbag, where nothing will get you down.
Creating a Trauma-informed Workplace
This is the program that people don’t know they need, but once they have translated the behaviors and mindsets that hold them back ….. into behaviors and mindsets that propel them forward, they will be able to be focused, optimistic and lead others through any change.
- A relatable, humorous and non-threatening assessment of trauma-based behaviors. - How adding context and compassion resolves most toxic interactions and relationships. - How to translate self-labeling and put downs into strengths. - How to move negativity and pessimism to otpimism with one small shift in culture.
“Your connection with us was amazing. All our leaders felt empowered inspired and ready to be bold leaders!” — R. Schmale, Froedtert Health System
“With almost clinical finesse, she creates trust and vulnerability by her down-to-earth engaging style, then exquisitely enter people’s hearts and souls to carry them to a place where they start to believe in themselves.” — A. Bunin, North Shore-LIJ Health System
“I think Janet’s genius is that she gains trust and connects with everyone right from the start. With us, she did the research to know us; she used our words, our humor, and it almost seemed that she was one of our own. Then she was able to push people farther than they normally would go. I had some of the most stodgy people come up to me and say that she changed them.” — FCCS
Your program, “Plant Your Feet Firmly in Mid-Air,” was right on target. During this time of change in the telecommunications industry and in Bell Atlantic, your program of optimism and opportunity was just what we needed. It was uplifting, fun and full of important messages. These were two of the many responses: “…she was the bright spot of the day.” “Dr. Janet Lapp was uplifting and informing. Her up-beat approach and attitude were catching.”
