​Speaker, Facilitator, Coach


​Jeannette knows that career-driven leaders can excel without compromising their physical, mental, or emotional health—because she's had to do it herself. Now, she shares her story so others don't have to hit rock bottom to succeed.
"As president of the Business and Professional Women of Canada I would like to give a shout out to Jeannette from Excello on her wonderful presentation in November 2024, on The Awe and Wonder of Leadership Presence. Jeannette's presentation held valuable information for our members and guests which created conversation and questions from those women who were present. While her speaking engagement was virtual, Jeannette had a great "on stage" presence which was practical and sincere. I would not hesitate to recommend Jennette as a speaker to any organization or event."

Shan McEwing, President, BPW Canada

Keynote Topics 

From Struggle to Strength: Mastering Your Comeback and Embracing Resilience


​"From Struggle to Strength: Mastering Your Comeback and Embracing Resilience," is crafted with the audience's emotional well-being in mind. By sharing my own journey, I aim to dispel feelings of isolation and let others know they are not alone. In industries where mental wellness often carries stigma, I advocate for a new approach and increased accessibility to support.
"We loved how interactive and fun Jeannette’s “Mastering a Comeback – Moving from Stressed to Resilient” presentation was! Our (400+) attendees appreciated Jeannette’s leadership and her keen awareness of how to relate the material being presented to the audience to maximize engagement. We received very positive feedback and will happily recommend her presentation to other organizations."

I would definitely recommend you have Jeannette speak at your next event."

​Awe & Wonder of Leadership Presence - How to Build your Leadership Presence and Stand Out

Leadership presence is a blend of attitudes, qualities and behaviours that make you stand out in any crowd. This is not about your title, but what people say about you after you leave the room. It really is about the perception people have after interacting with you and learning to manage people’s impression of you and aligning it to your authentic self. While you can’t avoid making an impression you can control the kind of impression you make which does need to be rooted in your authenticity so that show up each day the way you want to be perceived. We will explore credibility, confidence, composure, connection, charisma, body language and self-promotion.
"The Saskatchewan Water & Wastewater Association (SWWA) had the pleasure of having Jeannette speak to our membership at our annual conference on “Moving from Stressed to Resilient.” This topic was well timed and needed for the 400 operators in attendance. Jeannette’s presentation was enlightening, made those in attendance think, provided resources and tools, and encouraged all. I highly recommend Jeannette as a speaker."
Calle Behnke, SWWA Executive Director

Wellness Leadership

When we embrace who we are, we unlock the potential to live fully, lead authentically, and inspire others to do the same.​


​When a community faces an infrastructure failure such as a water break, or a natural disaster such as overland flooding, the problem is given immediate attention. When you or someone on your team isn’t doing well it needs to be treated with the same vigour. The mental health crisis shows we are struggling in our teams and organizations. This presentation will equip attendees to develop the skills and tools to be a leader for wellness in their organization.

Three Hour Workshop Learning objectives:
  • Understand the different types of stress and where we see them in our daily lives.
  • Identify and deal with physical, social, institutional and major life stress and check in with your personal factor wheel.
  • Learn how to implement a workplace that supports the personal factor wheel and wellbeing of your co-workers and staff.
  • Develop a plan to be a leader for wellness in your organization.
