Dynamic Trainer Dr. Janeen Davis

Dr. Janeen Davis dynamic and engaging presenter, trainer, conference speaker.

For Mission Agencies
and Global Conferences:

When your missionaries and staff gather, they need more than a good talk. They need someone who has lived what they are living. As a former career missionary, clinical psychologist, and member care leader who has served cross-cultural workers around the world, Dr. Davis brings a rare combination of personal experience, pastoral heart, and professional insight to every event. 

​​​

Most Requested Topics

  • The Hidden Weight of the Mission Field 
    What career missionaries rarely say out loud, and what every sending church and agency leader needs to understand about the real inner life of cross-cultural service.
  • Building Healthier Mission Teams  
    The specific dynamics that make or break teams in cross-cultural environments, and practical strategies for creating the kind of team culture where people do their best work and stay long-term.
  • Peace Pursuit: Biblical Conflict Resolution That Actually Works  
    A highly practical, scripture-rooted model for navigating conflict at every level of your organization, from interpersonal tension to institutional breakdown. Taught to missionary teams and agency executives around the world.
  • What Missionaries Need Most from the People Who Support Them  
    A candid, encouraging, and sometimes surprising look at how churches and short-term teams can genuinely care for the people they send, rather than unintentionally adding to their burden.
  • Coming Home: The Unexpected Grief of Re-entry  
    For missionaries returning from the field, and for the communities receiving them, this talk opens up one of the least-discussed and most painful transitions in missionary life.

For Leadership Training Events:

Organizations bring Dr. Davis in when they are ready to address the real problems, not just the surface ones. Drawing on years of experience as a member care supervisor, conflict resolution specialist, and leadership consultant with mission organizations around the world, she equips leadership teams with tools they will actually use long after the training ends.  

​​​

Most Requested Topics

  • The Inner Science of Great Conversations 
    A training that addresses the communication patterns, feedback failures, and relational dynamics that quietly damage organizational culture, and gives leaders a research-based, biblically grounded framework for doing it all differently.
  • Peace Pursuit for Leadership Teams  
    An intensive, practical training in biblical conflict resolution designed specifically for executive and management teams. Leaders leave with a shared model and concrete tools for navigating the conflicts that are already present and preventing the ones still coming.
  • The Leader People Never Want to Leave  
    What separates the managers people tolerate from the leaders people follow with genuine loyalty. A look at trust, morale, feedback, and the organizational culture that makes retention and engagement possible.
  • Giving Feedback That Acutally Helps  
    Most leaders either avoid hard conversations or handle them in ways that make things worse. This session gives leaders a simple, proven approach to corrective and developmental feedback that people can hear and act on.

For Women's Ministry Events:

Women come to events hoping to leave different than they arrived. Dr. Davis makes sure they do. She combines the warmth of someone who has walked through deep personal and cross-cultural challenges with the clarity of a trained psychologist and the passion of someone who genuinely believes the gospel changes everything. Attendees leave encouraged, equipped, and more connected to one another than when they walked in.  

​​​

Most Requested Topics

  • Peace in the Pew: Conflict, Gossip, and the Unity the Gospel Demands 
    The body of Christ is meant to be the most compelling evidence of the gospel in any community. When gossip, division, and unresolved conflict take root among women in the church, the testimony of love that Jesus said would define his followers quietly disappears. This talk names what is really happening beneath the surface of relational tension in women's communities, and offers a biblical, practical, and deeply hopeful path toward the kind of unity that actually draws people to Christ.
  • The Secret of Contentment  
    Drawn from Philippians 4 and grounded in both scripture and psychology, this talk explores what it actually means to find peace and joy that are not dependent on getting our way, being comfortable, or having life look the way we planned. Honest, challenging, and deeply freeing.
  • Rooted: Finding Your Identity Where It Cannot Be Taken  For women who are tired of building their sense of worth on things that keep shifting, this talk gets to the root of why we struggle and points toward the only foundation that holds.
  • Talking to Your Kids About the Hard Stuff  Practical, research-informed, and biblically grounded guidance for parents navigating tough conversations with children and teenagers, from anxiety and grief to purity and identity.
  • When Life Doesn't Look Like You Planned: Navigating Transitions, Loss, and Uncertainty  
    Whether the season is an empty nest, a cross-cultural move, a broken relationship, or simply the quiet grief of a life that went a different direction, this talk meets women where they are and points them toward something solid.

Feedback from Workshop Participants

This was by far the best presenter of the conference. She did well at getting everyone involved, allowing some time for reflection or processing, and giving helpful information and tips.


Janeen does a great job at leading, and it was very encouraging and insightful. It was not boring like I thought it would be since I had been through some of [this training topic] before.


I was surprised by how much I gained! This session went a lot deeper and covered more of the process. It felt very interactive, even though it was being done virtually.


This session was so so so good and very well done. Again, in a professional and sensitive manner.


Can we just clone Janeen and have her travel to every [region] to teach this? I think the training was great, but was even better because of her way of relating.


Janeen does a great job interacting with the group virtually.


Best session! Just so practical, biblical, simple, and needed.


SUPER good! It was seriously one of the most effective and engaging large group [virtual] meetings I have ever been a part of. Janeen did a great job using technology, making use of the chat box, and providing time for the participants to apply the lesson on their own! This was far and away the most effective session for me.


Thank you so much for your time! You do what do you so well!


Your posture, light-heartedness, and wise counsel MADE this. Thank you so much!


Very organized, clear, and concise; she is a great presenter who offers good and practical examples and advice.


You did an amazing job. Very well presented – very professional and personal.


The content and presentation is fantastic.

Feedback from Multi-Day Trainings
and Team Retreats

I cannot think of a way to improve the time. I felt it was a good balance of instruction/teaching, group discussion, individual reflection, and next steps discussion and commitment time.


Your excitement, passion, experience and wisdom was a true blessing!


Thank you for teaching so well and so graciously, for entertaining our every question and thought, and letting each day flow naturally as our group needed. Beautifully done. Thank you!


I think it certainly helps that you are so passionate about this topic and method, you really made me believe that I’m capable of pursuing peace in this way, and it was possibly the most useful training I’ve been to in my three years overseas.


I think the work you are doing with PP is the work of God himself. It’s the precious blood of Jesus brought to bear on our lives through humility, grace, and forgiveness. I think the way that you present and share personal tidbits from your own life is very powerful in reaching those you are training.


This has been tremendously helpful and insightful. Thank you for your energy and full engagement, and thank you for graciously receiving and thoughtfully responding to our questions.


Presentation and time use were excellent.


I think the content was really good and I appreciate Janeen’s passion.


Thought it was perfect, appropriate amount of small group, one-on-one, and large group sessions.


I appreciate you so much. Thank you for allowing God to use you. I am changed because of this.


Honestly, I have a hard time thinking about how this could be improved. I felt like you presented this in such a gracious, wise way.


This has been a highly impactful training. I can’t yet say how wide reaching the impact will be, but I know this will be one of the mile markers in my life.
