When the room is full of senior leaders, the bar is high. They’ve heard it all. What moves them is real experience—a speaker who’s made the tough calls and knows what leadership truly costs.
Janet Davie brings three decades in the chair. Leadership keynote speaker. ICF Master Certified Coach. TEC Canada Speaker. She shifts mindsets where it matters most.
Janet’s audiences are business leaders, CEOs, executive teams, and senior managers navigating real complexity.
Her work isn’t motivational in the usual sense. It’s practical. The leaders who book Janet as a business keynote speaker are looking for a session that changes how their people think on Monday morning — not one that fades by the end of the week.
Her dual credential as an ICF Master Certified Coach and a CPA, CMA gives her something rare on the speaker circuit: she understands the human side of leadership and the financial reality of running a business at the same time. That combination is part of why TEC Canada — the country’s leading peer advisory community for CEOs — selected her as a speaker.
Signature Keynote
Lead with Impact is Janet Davie’s signature keynote. It focuses on what actually moves leadership forward:

Workshop
Leadership doesn’t break down because of a lack of capability.
It breaks down in the moments leaders are least aware of how they’re showing up.
The Emotionally Effective Leader focuses on what strengthens leadership from the inside out:
This is not a session on emotional intelligence theory. It’s a practical, working session designed to help leaders understand how they show up, the impact they have on others, and how to lead more effectively when it matters most.
Delivery Options
This workshop can be delivered in two formats, depending on the depth of experience desired:
A highly interactive session focused on emotional intelligence and leadership effectiveness, providing practical tools leaders can apply immediately.
Includes a personalized EQ-i 2.0 Leadership Report for each participant, offering deeper insight into individual leadership patterns and targeted strategies for development.
This option allows leaders to connect the concepts directly to their own results, creating a more personalized and lasting impact.
WHERE I SPEAK
I speak to senior leaders who carry real decisions. Leadership conferences. Executive offsites. Board retreats. Senior team events. In person across Canada, virtually for distributed teams. My signature talk is Lead with Impact. For specific audiences or themes, I develop custom keynotes — shaped in conversation before the event.
TEC Canada is the country's leading peer advisory community for CEOs, presidents, and business owners — hundreds of executive members who meet monthly with their TEC Chair and peer group. TEC Chairs can book me directly through TEC. I present Lead with Impact and related sessions in TEC peer advisory meetings across Canada, both in person and virtually.
If you’re planning a leadership conference, executive offsite, or peer advisory meeting and want to explore whether I’m the right speaker for your audience, I’d welcome the conversation.
Tell me about your event — the audience, the date, the themes you’re working with. I’ll respond personally to discuss fit, format, and how we can shape something genuinely useful for the people in the room.
