Janet Lapp

Dr. Janet Lapp is a licensed clinical psychologist, author, and recognized change leadership speaker. A former professor, researcher, clinician, and registered nurse with a PhD from McGill University in Montreal, Lapp has addressed more than 2,000 audiences worldwide, including clients such as IBM, AT&T, Allstate, New York Life, Toyota, and Kawasaki.

Lapp, a dual citizen who presents in three languages, regularly consults throughout Europe and the Americas. She is a licensed clinical psychologist and author of five books, and has been inducted into the Speakers Hall of Fame.

Central to Lapp's work is a framework for navigating organizational transformation. The Ritz-Carlton team and IBM sales have used her book "Plant Your Feet Firmly in Mid-Air" to support their transformation efforts. She is also the author of "Dancing with Tigers," "Positive Spin," "Why Won't They Listen to Me?" (on pack leadership), and "The Four Elements of Transformation" (on personal transformation). Her experience as an instrument pilot informs her approach to guiding change in times of uncertainty, a theme reflected in her writing.

Lapp's interactive approach engages audiences in a change lab, where participants assess their leadership skills and leave with practical tools for transformation.

Lapp has been inducted into the CPAE Speakers Hall of Fame, rated by Toastmasters as one of the top three speakers worldwide, and is the creator and host of the Emmy-nominated CBS series "Keep Well." She has appeared on INN, ABC, CNN, and NBC affiliates. She is also the founder of ChangeFit Leadership Boot Camps and ChangeFit Labs.

Outside her professional work, Lapp is a former air race pilot and current flight instructor who has flown throughout South America and Africa. She is a longtime member of the Flying Doctors of Mercy, volunteering in central Mexico, and the founder of Agua Limpia, an initiative providing clean water access to the Sinaloa indigenous people. As a National AG Triathlon champion, she has competed with Team USA at the Lausanne World Finals and achieved IRONMAN Gold All World Athlete status. These experiences inform her keynotes, which address leadership, organizational change, and personal transformation across industries and cultures.
