Insights Tailored for Animal Welfare Leaders & Their Teams
Working Together Toward a Common Goal Shouldn't Be Difficult
I specialize in using DISC behavioral insight to support the people behind the mission. Drawing on my experience in animal welfare, I have helped dozens of leaders and teams better understand how they show up at work - how they communicate, respond under pressure, and work together in high-stakes environments. These insights are practical, accessible, and grounded in the real challenges shelters face - supporting healthier teams, stronger leadership, and more sustainable impact.
"Janis' work had a meaningful impact on our team culture. During a time when we were navigating communication challenges, she guided our leadership team through assessments with warmth, humor, and clarity. The conversations and insight helped us better understand ourselves and one another."

DISC Assessments
DISC Team Insights Session
DISC Team Insights Session
DISC provides insight into how people communicate, respond under stress, make decisions, and work with others - especially when the stakes are high and resources are stretched in emotionally charged settings. By building self-awareness and a shared language, DISC helps teams reduce friction, strengthen collaboration, and stay connected to one another while doing life-saving work.
A detailed, 25-page customized report is included.

DISC Team Insights Session
This interactive, virtual session brings teams together to explore their combined DISC results and what they reveal about how the team works, communicates, and responds under pressure. Participants gain insight into shared strengths, potential blind spots, and common stress patterns - especially in fast-paced shelter environments. The session creates a shared language that helps teams anticipate challenges, reduce friction, and work more intentionally with one another in support of both people and the animals they serve.

Leadership Insights
Leadership Insights combine the DISC assessment with the Driving Forces assessment to help shelter leaders (and their Board members) understand how they lead and what drives them. By strengthening self-awareness, communication, and decision-making under pressure, leaders are better equipped to support their teams - and stay grounded in the shared mission of saving lives.
A detailed 40+-page customized report is included.
Leadership Team workshops and individual coaching using the assessment results is also available.
