The Keynote

Taking Boost Juice from an idea to an international Australian iconic brand with four kids in tow has not been an easy path. Along that journey there have been successes, failures, huge highs and equally huge lows, but the most important things are the mistakes made and lessons learnt along the way.

During her keynote presentations she talks about the journey of Boost Juice and Retail Zoo including the top ten lessons that she has learnt that have made her the success she is today. Her presentations include topics such as always being the student, adapting to customer’s needs to survive and taking accountability for everything we do. Recently added are her insights into what it was like to be dropped on a desert island for 50 days on her recent adventure with Channel Ten’s Australian Survivor, an experience that has been life changing for her.

Janine’s presentations are light-hearted and engaging with many take-outs for the audience.
