About Dr. Janet Lapp
Dr. Janet Lapp was born and raised in Québec, Canada, earned her PhD from McGill University in Montréal, and has spent her career at the intersection of clinical psychology and human transformation. A former professor, researcher, registered nurse, and licensed clinical psychologist, she brings both scientific rigor and hard-won personal insight to everything she does.
Over the past 30 years she has inspired over 3,800 audiences around the world, from Russia to Argentina to Hong Kong, with clients including IBM, AT&T, Allstate, New York Life, Toyota, and Blue Cross. She is a dual citizen, presents in three languages, and regularly consults throughout Europe and the Americas. She has been admitted to the Speakers Hall of Fame and was rated one year by Toastmasters as one of the top three speakers worldwide.
Her clinical work has always run alongside her speaking career. With decades of trauma-focused practice, she is the developer of the Trauma Adaptation Profile (TAP-Profile), a dimensional framework that helps high-functioning adults understand why their brain adapted the way it did and how to rewire it.
Her forthcoming book Wired Different: The Hidden Patterns of Trauma and How to Heal Them brings that framework to a general audience for the first time, offering a map for the millions who have done the therapy, read the books, and still lie awake asking “why am I still like this?”
She is the author of five books, including Plant Your Feet Firmly in Mid-Air, used by the Ritz-Carlton and IBM to support organizational transformation, as well as Dancing with Tigers, Positive Spin, Why Won't They Listen to Me?, and The Four Elements of Transformation.
The creator and host of the CBS series Keep Well, she has appeared regularly on INN, ABC, CNN, and NBC affiliates. A licensed pilot and flight instructor, she has flown throughout South America and Africa on medical and rescue missions and volunteers in remote indigenous communities in central México.
