“Goes way beyond just being an inspiring speaker.”

I am a speaker /  MC, but not just someone that introduces the next act! Organisations and event organisers have experienced the “fullness” of what I bring to an event, with my vitality, creative ideas and motivational personality together with understanding the audience and the organisation well and weaving together content, style and inspiration in a way that is tailor-made, energising, interactive and deeply meaningful and memorable.

Also a super facilitator and story-teller, I am talented at facilitating small or large groups of people so they feel heard, supported, energised and empowered to step out in life more confidently.

Whatever outcome you want in your event, I will certainly be able to help you create that!

Sally Anderson International – Book Launch – Freefall
It takes a skilled presenter to MC an event. Goes way beyond being just an inspiring speaker! I recently launched my book in the US marketplace and needed to find someone to MC our book launch event here in Auckland, New Zealand. Janelle’s contribution on the evening surpassed what I could ever have wished for. I have known Janelle for nearly 10 years and to witness her evolution over this time has been extraordinary – she is a woman who compassionately honours the listening of the audience, is a consummate servant leader in her ability to make people feel important, goes way beyond the call of duty and adds the x-factor to any event. Needless to say I cannot recommend Janelle highly enough for any event that stands for exemplary standards of performance. You will NOT be disappointed!

Secure Beginnings Launch – a venture between Dayspring Trust and Marinoto Child and Family Mental Health – supporting young mothers with addiction, postnatal depression and mental health issues bond with their babies.
From our first meeting I was impressed by Janelle’s professionalism, her insightfulness, the ability to understand our organisations values, the program and the outcomes we wanted to achieve. On the day of the launch, Janelle was outstanding. Coupled with her vibrant personality and excellent facilitation skills the launch really was a memorable success. In between presentations and performances, Janelle would provide relevant insights that complimented and reinforced the message we wanted to impart. Going the extra mile she provided props and special touches such as a beautiful sunflower to give to the first graduate of the program. It was very touching.Janelle worked hard to make the day a success for Dayspring and has clearly demonstrated her commitment to families and her community. We confidently recommend Janelle to any organisation holding an event. Thank you Janelle for your generosity and support for the work we do in the West Auckland community – you are an angel.” Jane Bruce CEO Dayspring Trust.

Sisu not Silence – 2500 run across campaign against non-violence by Finnish peace-activist Emilia Lahti  

Janelle Fletcher is the embodiment of what I call courage of heart. It means to show up to life in its fullness and do so with wisdom,realness and grace. Janelle’s ability to see the goodness in others, believe in the power of small beginnings and help give wings to people’s dreams, while being a person who meets and greets you at the heart’s level, make her one of the female leaders I look up to in my personal life. Janelle stood up to help us organize one of the most powerful events during the Sisu Not Silence run for compassion and non-violence across New Zealand and did so while having to juggle several other things simultaneously. She walks the talk, leads by example and through compassion. I have deep respect for community builders and healers like Janelle and I turn to her for advice. If you have a chance to meet Janelle or work with her, do not hesitate to do so. She is gift to our human family.

It was an extraordinary night and your leading of the evening was awesome. You are an amazing presenter and a model for confident women and your leadership and confidence was a joy to watch. As the evening unfolded I became aware of the commanding presence emanating from you and the level of energy in the room. It is often hard work maintaining the flow and attention span at this kind of event, yet at each step people were riveted. You used your gift for presenting with aplomb, taking the audience on a journey, touching hearts and evoking laughter! You are one of the most beautiful, resourceful and courageous women I know, and I see you being accessed for the life-changing contribution you can bring.

Feeding ourselves on kind words, thoughts and deeds. Energising ourselves and abundance thinking, rather than deprivation, denial and punishment. Expression, not depression (or depassion as I call it!)

Nourishing the Garden of your Soul at Coatesville Women’s Institute What a great night sharing my “sprouts” of wisdom with more mature women, for nourishing the garden of our souls.
