Dr. Janet Smith Warfield, Award-Winning Author, Workshop Facilitator, and Speaker for Word Sculptures Publishing has been selected as “Empowered Woman of the Year” for 2018 by the International Association of Top Professionals (IAOTP).
While inclusion with the International Association of Top Professionals is an honor in itself, only a few women are selected for this distinction.The Empowered Woman of the Year is an award that is given to a Woman who has excelled in a male dominated industry and has inspired other professionals by her outstanding commitment and contributions to society. IAOTP is incredibly honored to be able to recognize Dr. Janet Smith Warfield for her success and dedication.
When Janet was a guest of honor and keynote speaker for the 2016 IAOTP’s Annual Awards Gala at the Garden City Hotel in New York, IAOTP’s President Stephanie Cirami stated: “Janet gave an empowering, motivating and thought-provoking presentation. When I nominated her for the Empowered Woman of the Year and Top Motivational Speaker of the Year, our panel unanimously agreed because we all witnessed Janet in action. She is brilliant at what she does and an inspiration to our members.”
Janet co-facilitates a provocative webinar series entitled The Expanding Consciousness Collective (ECC), https://expandingconsciousnesscollective.weebly.com/. ECC is a group of conscious co-creators who gather online bimonthly to discuss issues that matter, such as climate change, the patriarchy, and money versus service.Last year, she participated in a two-week expedition to Vanuatu, South Sea Islands, and New Zealand, where she spoke in Dunedin Stadium, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfqBJo4Vn4I&t=5s, lived in a pre-Maori community, and helped train people without clean water in the use of Sawyer water filters.
This year, in January, Janet spoke in La Jolla, California, at the “Be the Voice of Positive Change Gathering”; in February, she explored temples and ashrams in Southern India on a Sacred Activism tour with Andrew Harvey; and in March, she spoke at the International Women’s Day celebration in Katwadde, Uganda, went on safari in the Greater Serengeti, Tanzania, and explored Pretoria, Franschhoek, Cape Town, and the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa.
In May, Janet traveled to Branford, Connecticut, for a professionally-filmed video interview with Jim Masters (long-time interviewer for PBS and CUTV News), https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPInOBuXpbg&t=8s. Jim interviewed Janet about some of her consciousness-shifting experiences and her initial struggles to find the words with which to communicate them. In the video, Janet talks about her “heroine's journey,” her struggles with terror and rage, her explorations into what we humans do with words, her explorations into human power dynamics (power over, power under, power against, and power with), and the ultimate questions: how do we use analytic, divisive words to shift our own consciousness to align with a "Power Greater than Ourselves" and ultimately shift into "Power With," not only other human beings, but all of creation? How do we use analytic, divisive words to facilitate and co-create a peaceful, powerful, prosperous planet - together?
In May, Janet also completed another series of six radio interviews with Frank MacKay Media, https://soundcloud.com/frankmackay/sets/dr-janet-smith-warfield, which she intends to use as the basis for a new book. In June, she began hosting a new radio show, “Dancing with Words, Dancing with Wisdom,” http://boldbravemedia.com/shows/dancing-with-words-dancing-with-wisdom/, where she interviews fascinating changemakers from all over the world who are collectively expanding the consciousness of our planet.
Janet, while living in Roatan, Honduras, wrote her Amazon bestselling and Next Generation Indie Book Award winning book, Shift: Change Your Words, Change Your World. Shift is a creative tool for expanding consciousness. It is globally distributed and has been translated into four languages. Her article “Freedom from Fear” was featured in J. Kim Wright's American Bar Association bestseller, Lawyers as Peacemakers: Practicing Holistic, Problem-Solving Law.
During the Cold War, Janet was selected by the American Field Service as an American exchange student to Berlin, Germany. She holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree from Swarthmore College, a Juris Doctor Degree cum laude from Rutgers School of Law - Camden, and practiced law in Atlantic City, New Jersey, for 22 years. She has trained with motivational coaches Mark Victor Hansen, T. Harv Eker, Bob Proctor, and John Childers and has studied with spiritual leaders and visionaries, Matthew Fox, Andrew Harvey, Oscar Miro Quesada, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Jean Houston, Joanna Macy, Carolyn Myss, and Ken Wilber.

In 2015, she was selected as Most Prominent Professional in the Field of Consciousness Education by Continental Who’s Who, her photo and award displayed on a Times Square billboard.
In 2006, while living in Panama, she began facilitating interactive workshops. She has been a featured guest on numerous radio and TV talk shows: "Dare to Dream Radio," with Deborah Dachinger; "Waking Up—Learning What Your Life is Trying to Teach You," with John Earle; "Shifts of Mind for a World of Renewal," with John D. Schmidt; and “Dancing with Words, Dancing with Wisdom” with Pol Cousineau.
