Janet delivered her first diversity training session in 1998, which led to the initial founding of Progressive Discoveries. She has a rich background in consulting and has held contracts with well-known corporations to deliver solutions related to financial and business acumen, workforce and work process development, operations improvement systems, managing change and employee performance, assessing organizational culture, and designing DEIB and leadership constructs and practices. She is an expert at creating a strong sense of organizational community by building strategic synergies and closing culture gaps.

Progressive Discoveries, LLC. (2.0) re-opened in 2019, and Janet has revitalized her “no shame, no blame” approach to culture and DEIB work. The formula is simple: true diversity honors the value and contribution of every person, no matter what distinguishing characteristics they possess. Her approach encourages input and productive collaboration across functions, roles and hierarchies. She recognizes the beauty and benefit of differences between people, and helps to design respectful work environments that allow all employees to connect in meaningful ways to drive the desired cultural outcomes. She accomplishes this by leading from genuine acceptance, inclusion and heart.
