She is well known and respected for her ability to assess situations, identify areas for improvement, recommend solutions, and implement programs that help organizations improve customer service and grow profits. Her ability to break down issues and do what is needed to affect change has earned her unprecedented access to business leaders, government officials, political leaders, and respected academians around the world.

Since 2002, Janice has become the global “go-to” person on all matters related to access for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. Equipped with an undergraduate degree in business, a law degree, and experience as a successful litigator, Janice leverages her broad background to articulate compelling business cases for organizations in both the for-profit and not-for-profit worlds to improve hearing access for customers with hearing loss.

A culture lover, Janice felt her heart sink whenever her daughter – diagnosed with hearing loss at 2 ½ – struggled to understand museum guides and actors on stage, even with hearing aids. Not one to wait, Janice plunged into the research and learned that cultural venues could provide better hearing access with relatively standard technology, such as the induction loop, a coil placed around a room that wirelessly transmits amplified sound to a hearing aid.

Janice works with domestic and international organizations to benchmark best practices and helps clients leverage the most effective solutions for their situations. Working with multiple organizations, she helped the NYC Transit recommend that induction loops be included in all NYC subway information booths and call boxes as part of President Obama’s $13.5 million Stimulus Package. She also worked with the NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission to implement this same technology in all taxis. New York City is the first United States city to offer this technology in its transit systems.

The New York City resident and mother of two is a 2023 Harvard Kennedy School MC/MPA Candidate, 2021 Tell Her She Can’t Changemaker, 2018 The Points Guy + Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Goalkeepers Partnership Travel Grant Recipient, 2016 Aspen Institute Spotlight Health Scholar, 2016 United State of Women Summit ‘Nominated Changemaker and 2008 People magazine Hero. New York State Governor David Paterson appointed her to the Interagency Council for Services to the Deaf, Deaf-Blind, and Hard of Hearing twice.

New adventures are around the corner. Make way for 2022! We say this every 365 days, but here it is, happy new year! May you have good health, oozes of happiness, So. Much. Joy. and lots of fun new beginnings.  May you look forward to each and every day in the new year with wonderful experiences and many many sparkling moments!

In the new year, each small decision we make daily can lead to a different path. Life is not a set menu. It’s a mystery that unfolds every single day and uncertainty is our only certainty. We don’t have control over what curveballs life throws our way this new year, but we can control our reactions and actions. 

Many people hate goal setting because they sabotage when not reaching those goals. But instead, by setting intentions and closely aligning your actions to your set intentions, we can better keep on the path we have chosen. Goals are great but sometimes they can put pressure on us to chase that external outcome and get lost in the fun of life. Intentions on the other hand align us with our purpose and when we are clear on our intention we have alot more fun in life. This is why setting new intentions is a powerful tool to learn.

What are the best ways to set new intentions? 

1. By asking yourself questions. What brings you joy? What kind of life would you need to live in order to feel purposeful? What would you do differently if you had more confidence?
2. Affirmations and mantras. Examples are: I intend to practice self care daily. I intend to take one action daily for the next 100 days. I intend to make my creativity a priority. I intend to be kind even when under pressure.
3. When working on bigger goals, chunk down to smaller goals and reset your intentions monthly and daily.

Very important factor to setting intentions is to make sure your intentions are stated in the positive. For example Instead of saying you’re not going to live with fear anymore, say instead ‘I intend to trust more freely and confidently design my own life.’

Remember, you can set your intentions for the new year, new month, new day or even a new moment. At any given moment during the day, for example if you are stressed, you can close your eyes, take a few deep breaths and think to yourself or say out loud, “when I open my eye, my new intention is to feel the new calm.” Another example: if you are feeling anxious before you hop on a call, you can close your eyes, take a few deep breaths and think to yourself or say out loud, “when I open my eyes, my new intention is to be the most confident version of myself.” And then embody that version of you when you open your eyes. 

​

​Happy Holidays! I hope your Christmas was just as magical and joyful as my and that you are enjoying this downtime to the fullest. It’s perfectly ok to be doing absolutely NOTHING at this time of the year or binge as much TV as you want because you deserve it, anything you want, it’s your life. 

I know we’re all so looking forward to the new year, what new beginnings and adventures it will bring. BUT, it’s so important to reflect on the year before moving on with new goals and new experiences. By taking the time to reflect, it sets the stage for continuous improvement, determines what worked in the past year (as well as what didn’t work well), and ensures the greatest ultimate success according to your life plans.

Take some time on your own to contemplate your personal and professional life with a blank piece of paper or file or journal. Hey, light a candle, put on some calming music, whatever rocks your boat to get you in a place to think and reflect. 

So what are year end reflections? It is to recognize your accomplishments and give yourself kudos for what you did well this year. Last week I was telling a friend I felt like I accomplished nothing this year. The moment I said that I realized that can’t be true. This also shows the importance of self awareness by the way. Everything starts with awareness. So I reflected on my accomplishments and definitely gave myself some kudos for becoming a two time Amazon bestseller with both books I co-authored in. I also want to celebrate that this podcast is streaming in 68 countries in the world and I get to impact beautiful souls from all over the world. An amazing soul from South Africa wrote “Everything about this show is professional and exactly what everyone needs. Enjoy every episode!” Thank you so much, reviews and messages like this one just warms my heart and reminds me that I HAVE indeed accomplished something this year. So list out your accomplishments, the more you list, the more you’ll see how far you’ve come and it will serve as a motivation to accomplish even more next year. 

Besides recognizing our accomplishments, it’s also important to reflect on the lessons you learned, as well as the knowledge and skills you acquired. This year, in addition to professional life coach training, I’m trained to be a certified happiness coach because I believe there is no other way to live life but to live a happy life. One personal life lesson I learned is that life is ironic. It takes depression to value happiness. And it takes stress to value calm. And it takes absence to understand presence. But through it all, it’s the fun of life. Life is an experience to be cherished every step of the way.

Finally acknowledge your mistakes and missteps. This is not to beat yourself up but so you can use them as tools, self-improvement tools and analyze and plan ahead how you could do better moving forward the next year. 

So to sum up, the most important year end reflection questions are:

1. What accomplishments are you proud of this year?
2. What lessons did you learn this year?
3. What mistakes did you make and how can you prevent that in the future?

If you have more time, you can go into more details:

• Which of those accomplishments is your proudest and why?
• If this year were a milestone on your life timeline, what would the milestone be?
• How did you take care of yourself this year?
• What have you not done this year that you wish you had?
• What did you struggle with last year that you want to conquer or embrace this year?

Life is a journey, I’m here to support and guide you to live your best life, happy reflecting and happy new year!
