Janet Webb is an independent learning & development consultant, developing management and personal effectiveness skills, in the secular and in the spiritual arena. Her thing is to help people understand their own brains and emotions, so they can do the scary stuff, such as managing people or giving presentations. She tries to help people find poise - that characteristic of being balanced, secure, sure-footed. It comes from having confidence in self, mastery of skill and inner strength. Janet can be a bit kooky at times – and she likes it that way.
