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Reveal the outdated model making the existing one obsolete.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 break automatic, outdated habits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

- and what doesn't - so you won't have to.

When you're drowning, dive

March 04, 20231 min read

Hi, I have a question for you.

First, consider what you're avoiding...

Have you got it? 

Now read below and reflect on what it means for you and your context… 

"When you're drowning, dive."

Apparently, that's how to avoid death from a riptide current.

Swimming deeper to escape is counter intuitive. 

Our instinct is to fight the current and swim directly back to shore.   

Yet that's the most dangerous thing to do.                                       

When pulled out to sea, don't swim against it, you’ll exhaust yourself.

Riptides occur in shallow water, where we bathe.

So diving just a yard/meter below it, we escape.

Now, when you consider what you're avoiding, HIthe heaviness of loss, disappointment, fear of failure or unknown...

What does "When you're drowning, dive" mean to you?

Dive inside and find YOUR answer. 

If you’re anxious, you’re vibrantly alive.

With freedom, comes accountability.

Once you're beyond the strong current, you'll easily swim out of it.

It won't carry you far—just enough to get smacked by the next big wave coming in.

Articles

Here are the articles I wrote for BRAINZ.

01

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.


02

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.


03

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!




06

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.
