A West Coast native, Janet gained early
experience in both writing and entrepreneurship at the age of
eight, when she published a weekly neighborhood newspaper and
sold it door-to-door for a nickel a copy. With a few more years
and a degree in journalism and psychology from Stanford
University under her belt, she moved to Manhattan. She worked on
staff at national magazines, a major performing arts organization,
and a communications consulting firm before starting her speaking
and writing business—Janet Bailey Communications—and returning to
her California roots. For many years, she has researched
keys to professional and personal effectiveness, interviewing
thought leaders such as Bill Moyers, Warren Bennis, Dr. Deepak Chopra, Dr. Herbert
Benson, Joan Borysenko, Dr. Christiane Northrup, and Jon Kabat-Zinn. She shares
her accessible and practical solutions to common career and personal
challenges in her articles, seminars, and keynotes.
Janet is a member of the National Speakers
