Author/Life Coach

Janice Claire is a writer, speaker, and transformational thought leader whose work lives at the intersection of leadership, emotional intelligence, and inner freedom. With a career spanning global export logistics and executive leadership, she brings a rare blend of strategic precision and deep human insight to her work.

Professionally, Janice is a Global Export Logistics leader with over a decade of experience guiding complex international operations across Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Her perspective on leadership and decision-making in high-stakes, complex environments has taken her to international stages, including Budapest, Hungary.

Alongside her corporate leadership, Janice is the creator of the MindShift framework, developed through extensive work with individuals navigating burnout, overextension, and emotional depletion. Her work centers on dismantling internal scarcity patterns and cultivating steadiness, clarity, and sustainable inner relief—what she defines as Emotional Wealth.

She is the founder and curator of TEDxMallardCreek, a recipient of the President’s Volunteer Service Award, and a selected induction speaker for the National Society of Leadership and Success. Through her podcast, Choose You: The Quiet Rebellion, and her reflective writing on sacred, culturally immersive travel at See What I See, Janice explores themes of self-trust, presence, and personal sovereignty.

She has completed her forthcoming book, Pay Yourself First: The Blueprint to Emotional Wealth, and is closely approaching launch. The book examines how high-functioning, capable individuals quietly accumulate emotional debt—and offers a grounded, practical return to emotional self-trust, inner steadiness, and unshakable relief.
