Expertise.
Leadership Development
I partner with individuals to achieve career goals and lasting change, and help leadership groups build high-performing, collaborative, and transformative teams.
Organizational Development
I help organizations envision and position themselves for a new future. I specialize in team building, culture change, strategic planning, and organizational design.
Strategic Planning
I conduct environmental scans to provide the foundation for energizing, inclusive, and strengths-based strategic planning processes, resulting in mission/vision/values statements, strategic priorities, goals and objectives, and impact measures.
Testimonials
For two separate years, I participated as a mentor in the Leadership Fellows Program sponsored by the National Library of Medicine and the Association of Academic Health Science Libraries. Janice designed and facilitated this one-year immersive experience, and it was by far the best leadership program I have attended. Janice focuses on self reflection to determine and emphasize each person’s strengths while making room for insights into areas of improvement. Mentors learn as much as the Fellows!

Janice served as a trusted guide and partner in navigating change as we prepared to implement a new strategic plan for our academic libraries. Her experience working in and leading academic libraries, sincere empathy for others, and strong communication skills provided our team with the direction needed to assess our strengths and prepare to chart a new direction for our libraries. It was a pleasure to work with Janice!

UNIVERSITY LIBRARIAN — CREIGHTON UNIVERSITY
I had the pleasure of working with Janice on a very tricky OD project with an all-volunteer board at a non-profit organization during a pandemic. The project presented many twists and turns, and Janice demonstrated resilience, positivity, and a clear focus on achieving the overall goals. Janice was critical to ensuring the project was a success, responding to sudden changes and developing new methodologies to move the project forward. It was a joy to work with Janice.
