Member Spotlight - September

Janine Barr

Kintsugi Leadership

Janine Barr has spent 25+ years building things, and rebuilding herself in the process. She's co-founded and sold ventures, bought 38 houses in five months without a cent of personal capital, and since 2002 has trained and licensed coaches to deliver proprietary programmes to more than 7,000 people across New Zealand, Australia and the US.

Today, through Foundry of Being®, she works 1:1 and in small bespoke cohorts with founders, CEOs and executives who've quietly outgrown the version of themselves that got them here. Her approach isn't built on frameworks that look good on a whiteboard and fall apart under pressure; it's forged through real creation, collapse and reinvention, including her own.

Janine's core idea: most leaders don't hit a strategy ceiling. They hit an identity one. The version of you that built the thing isn't always the version that can sustain it, and the cracks that show up along the way were never the problem. Pretending they don't exist is.

At Auckland Executive Club, Janine will unpack the idea behind her talk, Kintsugi Leadership: why your cracks are where the gold goes.

"I initially started going to learn how to enter a room of strangers with confidence. Now, I go because I’ve found a (growing) circle of friends and leave every event feeling inspired. The Auckland Executive Club isn’t just another networking event – it’s a real community."
