JANICE DALY

Janice Daly is a business woman who’s had ‘business’ in her blood from birth (both her parents were business owners). Now Janice consults, coaches, teaches, and practices what she preaches while also being a wife, dog-owner, care-giver, and active church member. Her passion is bringing value to her clients! And she is certifiably a PMP (Project Management Professional)! 

Janice’s favorite activities are project management, problem solving, business analysis, facilitating, course development, and teaching (not necessarily in that order!) She has been a consultant and instructor for more than 10 years for Russell Martin & Associates with a client list that includes the State of Indiana, Ben & Jerry’s, BAA of Indianapolis, Butler University, Eli Lilly and Company, Roche Diagnostics, and many others. Janice is also a partner in Lessons Learned LLC, a company that specializes in designing workshops and learning experiences that share the gems of wisdom that are unique to the organization. Janice is also a speaker on the topics of project management practices at various PMI and other organizational conferences.  

Previously, Janice was a vice-president, a manager, a project manager, a programmer, a facilitator, a speaker, a reporter, a telephone answering service sales person, a Latin major, and a lumber yard bookkeeper, with over 25 years in the fields of software development, transportation, not-for-profit, government, construction, manufacturing, and education. For fun, she enjoys feeding the birds, water skiing, gardening, being with friends, and fine dining! Her favorite books are mysteries and her first love is for nature and its critters. 

Here are four lessons she has learned (one is a lie): 

  • Project management only sounds boring - it’s not!! (really - that’s not the lie!!)

  • Excellent customer service rules!

  • All corporations are the same except in name (NOT!)

  • Consulting is planting a tiny seed of advice in the minds of others and then watching it grow into a great idea!
