Janet has over 25 years' experience in the business world. She works with small and large size businesses to create more inclusive workplaces. She earned her Psychology degree from Birkbeck, University of London where she researched the effects of Employee Voice in the workplace and the ability to challenge norms.
Janet is also a leadership consultant who offers valuable insights into how to better navigate behavioural change in the workplace.
She believes in challenging norms and speaking up in the name of progress. Research show that avoiding difficult conversations have an adverse effect on mental health. Repressed emotions flood the bloodstream with cortisol and a prolonged release of cortisol keeps the body in a fight-or-flight state, which weakens our immune system.
