Janice Caillet

For over twenty years, Janice Caillet has empowered individuals, teams, and organizations to realize their fullest potential.  Janice wears several hats with her clients: coach, mentor, advisor, and consultant.  Combining these different approaches creates a clearer and more attainable pathway for her clients to live their purpose and realize their potential.  In essence, Janice co-creates a powerful reality with her clients by having them see their own potential, envision what can be possible, take the steps necessary to get there – and make the most of it. 

Janice believes one of the core foundations of success is based upon the realization of one’s life purpose – an articulation of what one loves doing that brings value to others. Utilizing several methodologies she developed, individuals, teams, and organizations alike can articulate their purpose statement in a clear way that can be communicated to others and utilized as a guiding light for themselves.  Janice incorporates four other core foundations into her coaching that were derived from work by Marie Jahoda, a British social psychologist who developed the theory of ‘Ideal Mental Health.’  Jahoda identified five categories vital to feelings of well-being: time structure, social contact, social identity, regular activity (and, of course), collective effort, and purpose.

Janice’s experience extends around the globe, across cultures, and across industries.  She has lived and coached in international environments such as France, the UK, New York, and Boston, working virtually with individuals and organizations worldwide.  Cross-cultural understanding is one of Janice’s focus areas, including cross-racial and cross-religious, socio-economic, education, and other similar differential barriers we have created for ourselves that separate us from others.  She has also developed and coached leaders and organizations in various industries, from aerospace, technology, and telecommunications to education, international non-profits, and social enterprise.

She is known as a thought leader in entrepreneurship, social enterprise, and startup ecosystems, as she has led roundtables, produced conferences, and consulted and coached leaders in these areas for over 20 years.  

She is also a serial entrepreneur, having cofounded seven companies:

- Corentus, end-to-end team development services
- iSTARTUP, revitalizing individuals, organizations, and communities
- Flockd, a tabletop tool to increase in-person connections and productivity
- SPARC Teams, revitalizing the under and unemployed in the UK
- Send Word Now, a leading global emergency response system, sold to Veritas
- Coaching Circles, a coaching referral service
- Total New York, sold to Digital City; sold Digital City to (America Online) AOL
  remained at AOL for two additional years

Janice delivers workshops and is a frequent speaker in entrepreneurship and personal and professional development at client organizations and educational institutions such as Brandeis University, Harvard University, Hult Business School, MIT, Babson College, and many others. Janice lives with her life partner, Alexander Caillet, and daughters Chloe, Leanna, and Alexia in Boston, Massachusetts.
