Most of us do not welcome change, but change is an ever-constant part of our business and personal lives. As a certified “Change Maker”, keynote speaker Janet Lapp helps audiences get ready for the future, whatever comes their way.

Janet shares techniques that show audiences how to create a healthier, better functioning brain. For example, she’ll teach a method to help stop obsessive negative thinking about the past, opening the possibility of moving on and thus making the best of what’s here now. As she says, “Healthy brain’s release attachment to irrelevant stimuli better than unhealthy ones”. So,….how do we heal our brains in order to achieve more, to be happier and to support our highest purpose?

In her humorous and energetic keynote speech, Janet Lapp shares the all-important need to let things go. She illustrates that point by telling the story of the famed climbers from the book ‘Touching The Void’ – Joe Simpson and Simon Yates – and shares an experience they had while coming down the mountains after climbing 21,000 feet in the Peruvian Andes.

Joe had broken his leg and Simon was helping him get back home, 300 feet at a time. Simon tied a rope and when the rope would go slack, even though he couldn’t see Joe, he knew that Joe was on solid footing. And down they went until Simon, wedged in a crevice, noticed that the rope didn’t go slack and realized that Joe was literally hanging over a 3,000 foot drop.

At this moment, Janet explains to her audience that Simon had three choices and it took him three hours to make this most important decision of his life:

He could have done nothing and simply waited to see what would happen to both of them (as many of us do).

He could have tried to get them both across the chasm, with nearly impossible odds but what a ‘nice person’ might try to help his mate survive.

He could have cut the rope and simply let Joe go.

Janet ask her audience: “what would you do?”
