DON’T BOUNCE BACK, BOUNCE FORWARD: How to Reinvent and Repurpose in The Face of Challenge
Any disaster in life can create challenge in the most profound way. Responding appropriately requires resources and courage that you may not even know you have until you tap into your innate resilience.
It is at times such as these that there is a choice to be made: Do you sit back trying desperately to make life work using old patterns of thought and beliefs that no longer apply, or do you choose to explore and learn new and more effective ways to approach life?
Janine relies on her personal experience, as well as her extensive study in neuroscience, neuroplasticity and positive psychology, to demonstrate that when tragedies or difficulties cross your path, not only can you bounce back, you can actually reappraise, learn and grow.
The audience leaves with actionable steps toward putting this powerful knowledge into practice—to building an unshakable core.
This program is ideal for corporate audiences, especially companies in industries challenged by competition or unwelcomed changes in the marketplace.
Key Takeaways:
Discover the neuroscience of resilience and how to apply these principles in your personal and professional lives.
Learn about self-directed neuroplasticity and how to use this to create desired change in your life.
Uncover your default mindset- fixed or growth? - and learn simple techniques to help you cultivate a growth mindset.
Learn the “Twelve Pillars of Resilience” and how to employ them in managing any challenge in life.

THE RESILIENT WOMAN: At Work and At Home
There is no question that most women are innately resilient, and Janine’s life is testament to that quality in her.
From the earliest age as an elite athlete, Janine harnessed her resilience to achieve national recognition in multiple sports, as well as forging a career in aviation, where women were then few and far between. It is these skills that equipped her to overcome a near fatal accident, and to thrive as a woman with a disability, turning seemingly insurmountable obstacles into opportunities.
As founder of ‘The School for Resilience’ Janine has identified the 12 pillars of resilience that enabled her to create an extraordinary life. Janine has a unique perspective into what it takes to make a mark on the world, both as a woman and a person with a disability.
She believes that if we are to fully embrace and develop our potential as women, we must start by recognising and calling on our Defiant Human Spirit, and this keynote delves into the ways in which listeners can readily do so.
Key Takeaways:
Learn how each of the 12 pillars of resilience can serve to build for us an unshakable core.
Gain an understanding of how we can learn the skill of resilience, and how to pass this on to our children.
Recognise our self-worth as women, and especially how this has nothing to do with our bodies. “I am not my body”
Identify limiting beliefs that we have carried since childhood and how we can create an entirely new narrative and using it to “bounce forward.”

WHY WALK WHEN YOU CAN FLY? Attitude Plus Power Equals Performance
People often ask Janine why she chose flying, to which she replies, “I didn’t choose flying, flying choose me!”
During recovery, when sitting outside in her wheelchair, an aeroplane flew overhead and the seed was planted. “If I can’t walk, then maybe I’ll fly! Janine exclaimed, unaware at the time of the consequences of this momentous decision.
Flying represents the ultimate freedom, and it was flying, she says, that gave her her life back. Learning to fly revealed to Janine that her real strength had nothing to do with her body or her athleticism and becoming a commercial pilot and aerobatic flying instructor proved her point.
In flying there is a formula based on physics: Attitude plus Power equals Performance. This aviation equation, which she argues applies to life as well, is just one of the tools Janine uses in teaching her audience how to navigate challenges in their own lives.
Janine demonstrates how the metaphor of flight allows us to achieve equilibrium in life, both personally and professionally.
Key Takeaways:
Attitude plus Power equals Performance: Identifying and managing our attitudes when added to our efforts assures us of reaching our goals.
Why do some people in challenge stay stuck, while others learn to soar?
Pilots often file flight plans but are vigilant once underway for any changes in weather, performance, or other variables might require course correction. How do we apply this to our journeys of recovery?
The perspective from the air: seeing things in our lives from a reframed vantage, and how that can help us get unstuck.
The value of the “go-around,” a manoeuvre taught to pilots helping to gauge how viable an option is.
