About Janette

One body of work, expressed three ways.

Janette R. Smith is a Transformation Architect. Across thirty years she has worked as a journalist and media professional, author, actor, producer, host, certified coach, facilitator, speaker, and ordained minister. These are not separate careers. They are one practice: stories, conversations, and experiences that move people.

An architect sees what could be and designs a way to bring it into form. That is the work — in a broadcast, in a coaching hour, on a stage, or in a room of people who came in guarded and leave with language for what is true.

Emmy, Telly, and Aurora Award-winning journalist and media professional.
