About
Dr. Janet Lapp doesn’t just speak about resilience and change. She’s lived it in operating rooms, boardrooms, jungles, research labs, and the flight deck of her own aircraft.
A clinical psychologist, former RN, and flight instructor, Janet brings audiences a rare combination of neuroscience, humanity, humor, and real-world leadership insight. With a PhD from McGill University, she spent decades studying stress, trauma, leadership, and human adaptation before bringing those lessons into organizations worldwide.
For more than 35 years, Janet has helped leaders and teams navigate uncertainty, burnout, and rapid change with greater emotional agility and connection. Her clients include IBM, AT&T, Toyota, Bayer, Abbott, and New York Life. Meeting planners value her ability to make complex psychology practical, deeply human, and unforgettable.
A member of the Speakers Hall of Fame, Janet delivers presentations audiences talk about long after the event ends. Her talks leave people feeling energized, understood, and better equipped to lead themselves and others through uncertainty.
