Keynoting

Janet brings energy and enthusiasm to her keynote presentations. She tailors each keynote to meet the targeted focus and audience needs.

She is oftentimes asked to engage her audience by posing new ideas or perspectives, explaining foundational concepts, or creating excitement for a new initiative. Keynotes typically last 60 to 90 minutes, and may or may not involve follow-up sessions with smaller groups.

Janet’s sessions are personalized for participants with an emphasis on authentic application that improve student learning and empower professional learning.

Training can take place through on-site workshops (laying a foundation of understanding, exploration, and application plans), on-site work sessions (coach-based training, often using a flipped model), and virtual follow-up sessions (based on results of on-site workshop/work-session focuses).
