"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

"I went from the backroom to the courtroom thanks to Janet helping me build influence and find my leadership."
James A. Rice

Meet Janet Macaluso, Learning2LEAD Founder
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 break automatic, outdated habits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, 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 "best practices" approach and replaced it with a unique "self-determining" technology. Instead of offering "expert-based" solutions, I now build inner capabilities: critical thinking, deep discernment, and WILLpower.
It's a conscious-building methodology - because there's no playbook or textbook to navigate constant change and flux.
After experiencing the value of Regenerative Business Development, I invested seven years in developing myself at the Carol Sanford Institute:
... The Change Agent Development Community
... The Regenerative Women Entrepreneurs
... The Regenerative Educator
... The Regenerative Economic Community
... Regenerative Boards
... Regenerative Business Development
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 Navigating Transitions Coach
▫️ Certified Immunity2CHANGE Facilitator
▫️ Certified Professional Retirement Coach

Even my cleaning lady complained... (muy fuerte)
A frantic text from my ex-boss: "Are you in Spain?"
Her niece and friend were stranded without lodging.
Their hostel canceled reservations (due to bedbugs).
Sure, I said. The young globetrotters could stay two days. Besides, they'll be sightseeing and won't disrupt my busy week.
Then... They blew through the door like TNT.
Buttons were pushed—my buttons—from constant interruptions...
Do you have a yoga mat?
What's the WIFI password?
How do I use this stove?
Can I wash (weeks of) laundry?
Can I have an extra key?
Where's the bank?
Hairdryer? Curling iron?
I practiced my mantra with every request and interruption: Get curious, not furious.
Then it dawned on me... Why not use the invasion of the loud bohemians as a Self-Assessment?
As with clients, I reflected on my real, concrete experience — Had my inner state, resilience, and imperturbability improved after years of practicing to become a conscious leader?
The good news? I didn't have a pity party — even with bonus point irritations...
Their 2-day visit extended to 4-days
They blew a fuse while I was on an important call
My chargers were occupied with their gadgets
Food scraps in the recycling bin
As humans, we all suffer. But we don't have to suffer in our suffering.
Did I feel I pecked-by-pigeons? Indeed.
Yet beyond the nose rings and patchouli-oil, I saw their vibrant energy, aspirations and courage.
Now, Self-Assessment time!
Consider someone who pushes your buttons...
How capable are you at thinking: "You're the type of person who drives me up the wall... thank goodness you're here"? (extra points if you tell them that!).
We don't have to like everyone. I don't.
But I'm grateful for the experience of building Inner Will - so I can contribute to my beloved people, places, and causes at a higher level.

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”
05
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.
