Keynote Speaker Perth & Australia

Perth is one of the most internationally connected business cities in Australia. Western Australia's economy links resources and mining with technology, professional services, energy, education and a fast-growing founder and innovation community — and much of that work is done with partners in Asia, Europe and North America. Leadership teams here are dealing with the same pressures as their counterparts anywhere: AI changing how work gets done, tighter talent markets, multicultural workforces and rising expectations of leaders.

Based in Perth, Sydney and Shanghai, Janine brings those global conversations into local rooms. For a mining or resources leadership offsite, that might mean exploring how AI is moving into management decisions and what that means for safety culture, engagement and frontline leadership. For a professional services firm, it could be how partners and senior advisers build visible authority and become referrable in a market where clients research online first. For technology and innovation events, Janine connects AI adoption with the human skills that decide whether new tools actually create value.

Many Western Australian organisations employ people from dozens of cultural backgrounds and trade heavily with China and wider Asia. Janine's intercultural communication experience — built through years of living, working and speaking across China, Europe and Asia-Pacific — helps leaders turn that diversity into a strength rather than a source of friction.

Janine speaks at corporate conferences, leadership events, industry association gatherings, university and entrepreneurship events and executive roundtables in Perth and across Western Australia. Each keynote is customised to the organisation and audience, combining strategic insight with practical takeaways people can use the next day.

Across Australia, Janine is available for conferences, corporate events, leadership programs and executive events in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra and the Gold Coast, as well as regional events across Australia.
