Janet Perez Eckles is a nationally recognized speaker on resilience, bestselling author, and transformative leader who has redefined what it means to rise above adversity.
Blind since the age of 31, Janet didn't let the loss of her sight stop her from building an award-winning career in the demanding field of language interpretation...
…When her youngest son’s life was tragically taken by violence, she became a beacon of light, guiding others through the darkness of grief. And when the man responsible was acquitted, Janet chose forgiveness over bitterness—revealing a deeper understanding of healing and strength.
Her remarkable journey from darkness to influence has touched millions through five inspirational books, 33 stories featured in Chicken Soup for the Soul, and hundreds of published articles. As a bilingual keynote speaker, she travels the U.S. and the world, equipping English and Spanish-speaking professionals to “remove their blindfold” and lead with courage, clarity, and everyday resilience.
With authenticity, humor, and unforgettable storytelling, Janet helps audiences see what’s possible—not in spite of adversity, but because of it. She is the ideal guest for podcast hosts looking to deliver powerful, hope-filled conversations that inspire listeners to overcome their own challenges and thrive.
