"We first engaged Janette to assist us in some marketing planning for our business. At the time we thought she'd make a positive contribution and that it would be for a limited period. Having worked with her for 6 months I'd now say she's part of our team. Janette has provided value far beyond her initial engagement. She understands us, our business and market. It's often a common phrase when making decisions "we better sanity check that with Janette first." Janette thinks outside of her role and offers an objective, creative voice, that is gentle and firm at the same time. I thoroughly recommend Janette as someone who will provide perspective, innovation and honesty to your business.”
Craig Wallace, Director, True North Learning
"Janette is a vital resource for any business. She makes sure you get things right the first time, and enables you to understand the hows and whys as well as the "what needs to happen" and when.
I would recommend Janette as an expert in all facets of her work - big picture and detail. Not many can do all this, but Janette does and does it exceptionally well."Tanya Rutherford, Principal, TM Rutherford

"In 2011, Janette was invited to join the Red Shield Appeal Committee in Bundaberg, at a time when the Global Financial Crisis and high local unemployment was affecting the ability of individuals and business to donate to worthy causes.
Janette brought a very strategic approach to the delivery of the 2011 Red Shield Appeal in Bundaberg, adding sponsors for the launch luncheon to the mix for the first time in the Corps’ history and gaining media across the whole spectrum of TV, radio, print and community channels.
She was able to liaise across the existing committee and ensure that the skills sitting within the group were utilised to the best advantage.
Using her media connections, Janette brought in Channel 7 to open the launch event and also ensured coverage that included lengthy ABC personal interviews with key Salvation Army officers and the guest speaker.
In addition, Janette applied her organisational skills to the event itself, ensuring that sponsors and key guests were positioned appropriately and that there was an upbeat and inclusive environment from start to finish. The 2011 Red Shield Appeal in Bundaberg region achieved its best-ever recorded level of donations.
Janette has a high level of organisational skill. She is able to liaise with people from all walks of life and applies that skill to the benefit of The Salvation Army in gaining positive profile and building its fundraising capabilities.
She also has an ability to find any gaps in the successful delivery of a project and remedy those through planning and stakeholder management."
Captain Philip Sharp, The Salvation Army
