Jani Jackson's Bio:

Started Develop Your Team almost 10 years ago (and joined the Carlsbad Chamber within 3 months!)

Prior to that - Masters degree specializing in Adult Education & Training (Colorado State) and long corporate career at Farmers Insurance. Worked in a variety of areas there, typically leading a team after working in an area for a little while. Ultimately worked in Training & Development, learned about using experiential learning activities for team building, tested/practiced on my own team, and have been doing that ever since.

My goal is to create high-performing organizations that talented people truly want to be a part of. Programs are always custom-designed, focusing on the specific needs of each group. My core values: inclusion, growth, authenticity, and laughter.

I've lived in Carlsbad since 1981 and raised my two sons here. I love the outdoors, have one dog and two cats, and a yard that welcomes birds, butterflies, and bees.

In addition to active involvement with the Carlsbad Chamber, I am also very active with the Agua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation, Carlsbad Hi-Noon Rotary, and most recently, Cal State San Marcos College of Business Executive in Residence program.

I am also working on a book - all about teams. The book explores: What are the things that make teams highly effective at achieving their goals, and what are the things that get in the way?
