Her forthcoming business book (Wiley, 2024) highlights the disruptive leadership mindset needed to guide others through disruptive change.

Janet Lapp Speaking Topics

Let's Go: How to get People to Move

Your people didn’t believe it could happen to them. Then, disruptors appeared on the horizon, and now everyone has to play catch up. Up to one-third of your workforce could be actively resistant. How much faster could you move if everyone were on board?

This program budges people out of the past and helps them SEE that change affects everyone, there is no choice, and no hiding AND IN THE END, ADAPTING WORKS BETTER FOR EVERYONE.

Key Takeaways

  • Summary of hard trends in your industry, how others are adapting and simple changes you can make to keep up.
  • Easiest steps to an agile workforce and workplace.
  • What resistance looks like and best ways to budge it.
  • A take-out plan to grow skills and mindsets you’ll need to adapt to and lead fast change.

Think Big, Act Bold

Do something SO bold, that a year from now, when we are through this, you’ll shout: “I can’t believe we/did that!”

Especially during disruptive change, this program is personally inspirational. However, the effects extend to the workplace … as people become bolder, more confident, take more risks, think larger - despite circumstances.

Janet brings the lessons of her experiences as a National Triathlon Champion, Ironman competitor, and pilot who’s flown through the world … to inspire you to think the impossible and do the unimaginable. Her stories highlight overcoming depths, resilient comebacks, and miraculous survivals.

You will knock away outdated pillars, blow away perceptions of what’s possible, rewrite your story and create a new set of rules.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.

Key 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.

Stay Standing: How to thrive with change

You need to stay focused, optimistic and forward moving …. despite disruption. You need a leader with the clinical skills to help people through trauma.

OUR GOALS:

  • Through survey and interview, we find out what’s going on, how people really feel.
  • We find out which of five basic change reactions you have, to understand your own and others’ reaction styles. This increases understanding and empathy, and gives us a recovery roadmap.
  • We practice the skills that successful change adaptors use to stay focused and optimistic, no-matter-what. We learn to balance energy output and avoid burnout.
  • We learn how to look for opportunities and possibilities. Move from “what-if” worry to a “what-now” action plan.
  • Develop a Master Grid Plan that will lead to productive, high-value action. Starting from a new end vision or desired post-COVID future state, work backwards into short -term goals and devise action plans that are scheduled on a daily basis.
