Jan Carpenter
I established Turn Over A New L.E.A.F.® in 2018. I did so as an outcome and recovery from my own stress related emotional, physical and social wellbeing issues. I am aware that my own trauma back story weakened my resilience as a Social Worker so much so that I joined the many that leave the profession, after 10 years... I returned deeply committed to my own wellbeing and the wellbeing of others.
My Story
Having worked as a carer from a young age I understands first-hand the realities of care work, latter becoming a young Social Worker and supervisory Social Worker and eventually a manager, I understand leadership strain, burnout risk, and organisational complexity — and I seek to bring calm, customer service, clarity and nervous system awareness to environments where people are expected to perform while carrying emotional load.
Becoming a certified Personal Performance Coach was part of my escape, recovery and passion as was becoming certified Havening Techniques® Practitioner and Trainer. As Team Manager, with over 25 years’ experience across statutory adult Social Work practice, supervision, and leadership in complex social care systems. My approach bridges operational management with human-centred leadership. Performance, Quality and Wellbeing.
When i returned to Social Work, after 3 years out, i was determined to find a way to sustain it with well-being and over time i realised that my message was an important one to share with other Social Workers and that is what i did one workshop at a time.
My recovery and my work is informed by neuroscience, trauma-informed practice, positive psychology, NLP, DiSC, and years of delivering reflective, practical workshops to professionals working under sustained pressure.​
