“Janet Brown facilitated our Group’s 2014 Aged Care Forum in Queenstown. Participants included all Directors, General Managers, Senior Executives and invited professionals. Janet’s pre-forum research, preparation and execution of her facilitator’s role were excellent. She ensured that all participants were engaged throughout, and left sessions with clear concise messages. I would highly commend her professional services.”
Ian Hurst, Chairman, Hurst Pratley Group

“I thoroughly appreciated Janet’s help and assistance in working on ‘Project Mandy’. She challenged my thinking and made me look long and hard at myself and my life’s direction. She showed great empathy and patience throughout the journey and helped me to visualize, then map out, my blue print for the future. Her insight, experience and resources were invaluable to me. I recommend Janet to anyone seeking skilled guidance.”
Mandy Scott-Mackie, Just Get Mandy, 2013
“Your advice and pearls of wisdom challenged my thinking to justify the ways I worked. You gave me a confidence to grow and challenge others to do the same.”

“Your depth of knowledge of the public sector, relationships, agility in embracing changes and personal leadership have steered us soundly through challenging times. Personally I have admired and appreciated your transparency in sharing your leadership journey and your amazing ability to connect with everyone in the operations team.”
Tess Livingstone, Practice Leader, Careers New Zealand
“As a talented and skilled public servant I have seen you take complex situations and make sense when all around are losing theirs. I have witnessed a courageous leader, in times of plenty and in times of drought, act as the lighthouse guiding to safety. You are truly a woman who has considerable credibility amongst Maori and Pasifika staff. Your legacy will be my growth as a leader and it is your model of leadership and the grace with which you have led that has imprinted itself on me as an aspiring leader.”
Ivan Tava, Senior Adviser Pasifika, Careers New Zealand
“I enjoyed working for Janet for five years as my manager. During this time she was encouraging and supportive. She offered calm and reasoned advice but allowed me to develop in my own way. She always had time to encourage and acknowledge the efforts of others. She has a fantastic set of personal values that she lives her life by and this was widely appreciated by the staff who worked for her.”
Dale Bailey, Area Manager Northern, Careers New Zealand
“Of the many leadership competencies Janet possesses the one that stands out for me is her caring for others. Good leaders show care because they do care and over the years I’ve worked with Janet she has always gone out of her way to understand me the person rather than just me the worker. It’s through this approach that I’ve been able to develop and grow.”
David Bradbury, Area Manager Central South, Careers New Zealand
