The Day ...
Morning: Conversation & Clarity
We'll explore self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and what drives you in your career or as a business owner. This is facilitated, intentional conversation - not small talk. You'll be with other women who understand exactly what you're navigating.
Afternoon: Creative Work
You'll create a beautiful collage that reflects what's at your core and keeps you focused on your business goals. All supplies provided - no artistic experience needed.
You'll Leave With ...
A visual representation of what grounds you
Clarity on what's at your core as a business owner
Connection with other kick-ass women
Tools to move through self-doubt instead of getting stuck in it
The First Make Your Ripple Effect Workshop
These women showed up in London, Ontario in February 2026 ready to get clear on their goals, values, and what's at their core as biz owners.
We spent the morning in real conversation. The afternoon? Creating these collages - beautiful, visual, and personal reminders they look at every day.

BONUS: Exclusive Online Celebration Winter 2026
Every Make Your Ripple Effect attendee is invited to an exclusive online celebration (date TBD).
This is a chance to wrap up the year by celebrating your progress and connecting with women from across Ontario who share your values and vision.
We'll reflect on the year, recharge together, and prepare to expand your ripple of impact into 2027.
Cost: Free and exclusive to all workshop attendees (London, St. Thomas & Ottawa, ON).
From Past Attendees ...
"Vulnerability without performative pressure, real conversation instead of small talk, and a women's network built on care and intention. The intersection between practical and creative was truly a unique experience."
Sara
“Janic has a true gift for facilitation. She creates a space that feels safe, inspiring and deeply intentional. You feel guided and supported, yet never pushed, which allows you to discover things on your own in a very natural way. Janic fosters real reflection and genuine connection, making the entire experience incredibly impactful.”
Ruby
I'm Janic, the founder of Ripple Effect Leadership, and the creative mind behind its sister brand, Creating Ripples Co.
I work with women in biz who are tired of second-guessing every decision and feeling scattered about what they're building.
Here's what I believe: leadership + creativity + strategy work together.
When you pair them intentionally, you build something that feels sustainable - not just "successful."
I've spent 25 years in leadership - mostly without the fancy titles or corporate structure. I know what it's like to wear all the hats, make all the decisions, and try to grow without burning out.
Make Your Ripple Effect brings strategy and creativity together in one room. Real conversations. Creative work. Women business owners who get it.
If you're building something meaningful and want support that doesn't feel like typical biz planning - I'd love to see you there.
Let's create your ripple. 💜
