Janine takes audiences on a humorous and heartfelt journey across the nation, sharing five life lessons passed down from her strong-willed Italian mother. Her personal story highlights the importance of self-reflection and stepping outside your comfort zone.

Blending humor with wisdom, Janine inspires attendees to think bigger, grow personally and professionally, and give back with intention. The keynote concludes with an interactive “Mountain Toss” activity, where attendees commit to bold action and receive a postcard handout to reinforce their pledge.

Key takeaways:

• If you compromise your values, you ultimately lose
• If you’ve got time to lean, you’ve got time to clean
• Never let ’em see you sweat
• Check your blind spots
• Don’t just say you care—show you care

Janine draws on her own experiences and her strong-willed Italian mother’s teachings to share valuable life lessons. Here are the key takeaways:

• Stay true to your values to avoid losing sight of your purpose and inspiring other women to do the same.
• Create systems to maintain balance in challenging times, rather than wasting time.
• Prepare for challenges by facing fears and doubts head-on, and find practical exercises to build resilience.
• Identify and address anything that may be distracting from your message by finding an accountability partner.
• Use your accomplishments to make a positive impact by helping and lifting others.

Each attendee will receive a postcard-sized handout with the quote “Do What You Can With What You’ve Got, Where You Are,” which will be used in a group activity called the “Mountain Toss” at the end of the talk.

Like many, Janine Stange once promised she’d “give back someday.” A gifted singer, her dream was to tour the world—until her mother’s battle with stage IV breast cancer changed everything. Grappling with loss, Janine launched a mission to sing the National Anthem in all 50 states—raising awareness for those who serve and discovering the strength that comes from living with purpose.

Janine also shares her experience as a caregiver, reflecting on the long days spent by her mother’s side—from chemo to hospice—and the profound impact of every nurse, tech, and aide who crossed their path. Through her 5-step “DROPP Method,” she equips audiences to navigate change with resilience, reconnect with their purpose, and lead with heart.

Attendees will leave feeling valued, respected, and reconnected to their purpose — reminded that their vigilance, empathy, and care are not only noticed, but deeply appreciated.
