business. Jeanne is a Certified Practitioner of NLP (Neuro Linguistic

Columbia, Canada.
Jeanne became interested in training while working for a Fortune 500 company
in southern California. Back in her native Saskatchewan, she side-stepped into
sales and marketing for ten years - where in the printing and labeling
industry, she took a $25,000 sales territory and grew it to $850,000 within
four years.
Now as Managing Partner of her own firm, Jeanne has delivered workshops and
keynote addresses to government, associations and the private sector. Her most
popular topics are leadership and diversity. As a Canadian best-selling author
and strategist in workplace diversity, Jeanne's goal is to assist leaders in
understanding diversity issues so they may attract, retain and engage their
ideal workforce.
Jeanne's first non-fiction book Lies and Fairy Tales That Deny Women
Happiness explores the myths that many Canadians are raised with and which
limit their ability to have happy relationships and fulfilling careers. Her
second book, Escape from Oz - Leadership For The 21st Century explores the
parallels of the characters in the fable The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and
our own beliefs about personal and professional leadership. Jeanne's third
book, War & Peace in the Workplace - Diversity, Conflict,
Understanding, Reconciliation explores how workplaces are becoming more
diverse and how that diversity can trigger conflict. The book illustrates how
we have the choice of allowing conflict to spiral down into dysfunction or of
taking charge, becoming aware and developing understanding.
Jeanne takes a leading role in her community, a dedication that was recognized
with: the Canada 125 Medal, the YWCA Women of Distinction Award in the
