Janelle is a lifelong learner and founder of JReeb Consulting. For more than 20 years, her work has centered on developing people—first as a Division II athlete at Truman State University, then as an educator and coach, and now as a trusted partner to CEOs and leadership teams. With a master’s degree in Leadership from Illinois State University and over six years working directly with executive teams and key leaders, she helps organizations strengthen communication, build trust, and maximize performance as they grow.

Janelle’s leadership philosophy is simple: healthy teams don’t happen by accident. They are built intentionally—through clarity, accountability, and a culture of trust. Too often, leaders are promoted without the training and support they need to build a healthy team environment. The result is predictable: burnout, disengagement, and costly turnover. She cares deeply about equipping leaders before those cracks begin to show.

As a member of a Convene Team herself, she has experienced firsthand the power of peers sharpening one another through honest conversation, prayer, and Godly counsel. The integration of faith and business is not optional; it is foundational. Leaders grow best in community. When they are supported by trusted peers, they make wiser decisions—at work and at home.

As a Convene Chair, Janelle equips leaders with practical tools to integrate faith and leadership so they can build healthy, profitable teams that make an eternal impact. Her desire is not simply business growth, but to develop leaders who stay, teams that thrive, and organizations strengthened from the inside out—for God’s glory.

Janelle has been married to her husband Carl for 23 years. They have a daughter and a son and currently reside in Central Illinois. As a family they enjoy exploring National Parks and snow skiing in Colorado. Janelle finds joy volunteering, coaching volleyball, coordinating church events, staying active, and going to Broadway shows.

Without question, this was the BEST training experience we’ve ever engaged with for all employee levels in our company. Janelle is highly experienced, professional, and organized; she worked directly with me to formulate training that met the unique needs of our diverse business. In particular, the deep dives into personalities have transformed the way we interact as a team and with each other.

Working with Janelle was a valuable experience for our team. The training session on effective communication, emotional intelligence and conflict resolution was thoughtfully designed and applicable to our day to day operations. Janelle has a gift for delivering training that is interactive, engaging and energizing. She creates an environment where everyone feels encouraged to participate and reflect on the material.

Janelle led incredible training for the Chamber of Commerce Leadership Morton program. Her ability to facilitate engaging discussions and provide tangible, real-world leadership tools made a lasting impact on our participants. Her hands-on activities were not only enjoyable but also reinforced key leadership principles in a meaningful way. Each session left attendees with valuable takeaways that they could immediately apply to their teams.

Coaching has helped me to understand my own personality and leadership style, and how my leadership style interacts with team members differently. It provided help to understand individual strengths and weaknesses, showing team involvement and the importance of building trust.
