Meeting & Management Essentials, founded in 1993, celebrates over 20 years of providing clients of all sizes value-added business management skills that increase productivity, morale, and profit.
The main focus is on improving meeting, time, and decision-management skills for individuals and organizations. I’m also an author (7 books in 7 languages) and ghostwriter.
Named one of Idaho’s Accomplished under 40 (years of age) business owners in 2001 and the Better Business Bureau’s 1999 Integrity Counts small business award winner, I have worked to bring the power of productivity, morale and profit to day-to-day business meetings and activities since 1986.
My clients include a variety of organizations such as: Fortune 100 companies, non-profits, associations and government agencies.
Length of client service engagements range from one meeting facilitation to nearly 20 years of workshop delivery, management team development, and strategic planning.
My community involvement includes volunteering for the Learning Lab for 9 years, serving on the State Bar Association Public Information Committee; teaching leadership and speaking skills to statewide groups of 4-H teen ambassador groups; and church committee work. It also includes serving on the boards of such groups as the Idaho State Association of Parliamentarians, the American Society of Training and Development (now ATD), Easter Seals Goodwill, Senior Solutions and the Learning Lab. I’ve also served in the Idaho House of Representatives (2004-2006). Raising someone else’s child from the age of four through to the present rounds out my community involvements.

“Jana’s passion for skilled group communication garnered enthusiastic participation from our board members as they worked to define a powerful long-term strategic goals document. Her work also helped us to overcome short-term obstacles and to identify staff members who were not investing with us for the long-term. Our work with Jana lead to a strategic initiatives document that we have posted in our board room and refer to often. We look forward to working with Jana Kemp again and again.”
“Jana did a great job with the Mobility Management Task Force. As a result of her efforts, we go forward with a solid coalition in public transportation to better serve the citizens of Idaho, especially in rural communities.”
