Does this sound like you?
You're contemplating your leadership, life, or legacy...
You're successful in one area yet craving more in another...
You're not lonely, but feeling alone or uninspired...
You're meant for more... your next-stage potential...
You're in the right place.
Don't fight the existing reality at work.
Reveal the outdated model making the existing one obsolete.
So compellingly disruptive, you can't un-see it!
AS SEEN IN
Living Systems Leadership is based on this premise:
"We can't make the outer transformations we seek without making inner transformations
in our thinking, doing, and being."
We steward development in several arenas...
Which sounds like you?
Meet Janet Macaluso, Ed.M., MSOD, CPC
I'm not here to sell you an idea, I am here to sell you on YOUR NEXT POTENTIAL.
I help Leaders, Teams and Change Makers build new practices and routines. My anti-hero methodology creates a space to ...
... break automatic, outdated habits
... design new patterns and new worlds
... eliminate energy-draining waste
... design transformational change
... diagnose challenges, conflicts, mysteries, messes
... deliver exceptional systemic results
As a previous executive of leadership, learning, and organization design functions, I've equipped thousands of global leaders to grow their leadership, businesses, and causes.
Yet I've reinvented my traditional follow-the-guru, textbook approach and replaced it with a unique technology that combines modern science and ancient wisdom.
It's a conscious-building methodology because there's no playbook or textbook to navigate constant change and flux.
I'm keenly interested in replacing the ghost of mediocrity with a thriving future for all living, social and planetary systems.
Janet's experience includes:
▫️ Masters in Education, Harvard
▫️ Master of Science, Pepperdine
▫️ Advanced Certificate in Organization Design, USC
▫️ BRAINZ Top 500 in 2021 and 2022
▫️ Certified Professional Coach, IPEC
▫️ Certified High-Performance Coach
▫️ Certified Tiny Habits Coach
▫️ Certified Immunity2CHANGE Facilitator
▫️ Certified Professional Retirement Coach
▫️ Certified Search Inside Yourself Facilitator
▫️ Certified HeartMath Coach and Facilitator
I've invested decades learning what works
- and what doesn't - so you won't have to.

Testimonials
"This leadership path has been so impactful. Janet is one of the few people who can tie together cutting-edge methods and make them so practical. The powerful frameworks gave clarity to the role and importance of leadership. I'm seeing the valuable contribution our leaders can make to our people and the bigger system."
Cindy Reiss-Clark
Chief Commercial Officer, SVP West Pharmaceuticals
"Janet absolutely nailed it with her Best Future Self Now. With a Ph.D. and years of executive leadership positions, I never expected to uncover deep insights into my life, leadership, and future. She challenged my thinking and motivated me to consider an even higher level of impact."
Sam Cimitan, Ph.D.,
CEO Celonic
"Janet has made a lasting impression on my personal leadership, my businesses, and charities. I’ve spent tens of thousands on training programs for myself and my employees over the years. But your regenerative approach made the most lasting impact."
Ray Ciccolo
Founder and CEO Village Motor Group
"Janet, as part of your Best Future Self Master Mind, I now see details I missed before, like being a victim, villain and victor. I'm now designing my future decade like you've done. You're a great model for living leadership."
Luz Elena Zuluaga
Spanish Professor
"I went from the backroom to the courtroom thanks to Janet helping me build influence and find my leadership."
James A. Rice
Attorney At Law
"Janet has a broad and deep understanding of what it takes to succeed in work and life. But, what really sets her apart is her dedication to evolving leadership so that we develop our own, and others, abilities to co-create a world in which we all can thrive."
Karryn Olson-Ramanujan
President, Regenpreneurs, and Permaculture Entrepreneur
"As someone with a strong consulting background, I have extremely high expectations about business and leadership development. With the Best Future Self Now content and lively interactions, my high expectations were met!"
Kleigh Heather
Digital Transformation Leader
"Janet has been one of the very few trusted advisors I’ve relied on to build my organization. The regenerative approach helped me become a better leader (and person)."
Jonah H. Jacob
President, Science Research Laboratory Inc
"When I signed up to work with you, I didn’t expect to learn so much about my own development given my education and profession. But WOW, it was eye-opening to assess my thinking and to find new ways to grow. I’m now ready for your Third Line Mastermind, please!"
Daphne Rulf,
M.D., Ph.D
I'm not easy
"I wish I could take your advice saying it's faster, easier, and better," I told the marketing coach.
"But I can't. My system is not faster or easier."
If someone promises transformation in a weekend, run away.
Deep clarity on your legacy takes commitment, time, and energy - it's not fast or easy.
Yet it's better than forfeiting the potential of your Self and System.
So dig deep into these questions alone, with your Best Future Self (or your team for transforming work).
#1). I'm being called to support the growth and evolution of ____ (persons, places, or causes).
#2). The nature of this work is ___ (transformational, transactional, incremental...)
#3). The role that I'll play and contribution I aspire to make requires me to become and develop the following capabilities:
Functional Skills:
Knowledge (information, data, facts)
Behaviors
Thinking processes
Language structuring and usage
Motivation:
A "fire in the belly" state wanting action and seeking direction
Self Mastery:
A resilient, imperturbable state of being, focus, and response to internal and external stimuli
Success to significance is not a generic copy/paste exercise.
When you commit to learning and un-learning, Providence moves too.

Here are the articles I wrote for BRAINZ.

Time For A Pronoun Paradigm Shift?
During a recent large online meeting, I felt different. Like I didn’t get the memo saying: “Post pronouns beside your name.” If all those talented Harvard alumni women posted their pronouns, I should too, right? Me2.

Top Ways Leaders Manage Conflict And Reduce the Stress Response
Nested within a wide circle of family, colleagues, and community systems, we humans find health, happiness, and meaningful purpose. And sometimes, friction.

It's All In Your Head – Cultivating Conscious Conversations
When you inaccurately imagine something, “It’s all in your head.” It’s also what the car mechanic thinks when you complain about that clicking sound that mysteriously disappears during the inspection.
04
What’s Worse? Scary Movie 3 Or “We Have To Talk”?
Does “We Have to Talk” trigger an inner primal scream? Perhaps you’ve heard these ominous 4-words from...
The Boss: “I have some feedback”
A Partner: “It’s me, not you”
Garage Mechanic: “It’s the transmission”
Child's teacher: “About their behavior”

Do You Have A Clearing Disorder?
Have you ever complained about busy work distracting you from strategic, high-impact projects and planning? You’re not alone!

Silence Your Perfectionista
Did you get all that? If English is your native language, most likely you understood it, errors and all. Spelling mistakes did not materially impact the outcome.
