“Undercover Rose is an amazing partner for a team off-site. The experience that they deliver is so truly unique and customized for every client. Today I’ve really learned a lot as the manager of a team about the team dynamic outside of what I see in the office each and every day. What I’ve learned today will inform how I am as a manager and a leader on a go-forward basis. I can’t wait to hear more about what the team learned overall. One thing I am very sure of is that they will take this experience with them wherever they go over time. Great day and hats off to an amazing experience.”

“This weekend has been the most amazing weekend. I’ve met some of the most fabulous women. I feel like I bonded on the very first day in several activities that we participated in together. Every woman at the event has added and brought so much talent and so much energy. They’re vivacious and they’re so supportive of each other. There’s so much love in this group. I learned from every single one of them. I feel like they are my sisters and they will forever be in my heart.

The founder is an amazing lady and she has such a strong background. I knew this was going to be an amazing event because of who she is. I knew the team that she put together to lead and guide us through this adventure was going to be top notch and they have proven to be so.

Today we did a breach and clear. For those of you who are going to be attending this event at some point in the future – and I know you will – will find out what that’s all about. But we learned so many skills over the last two days that helped us to do something that we had never ever dreamed that we were going to do.

Breaching and clearing – entering a building not knowing what’s on the other side of the door and trusting that the woman in front of you and the woman in back of you will lead you into a safe place and have your back. The things that we’ve learned today that we can take into our personal life at home, our business, our friendships, relationships, are something so powerful that we all will take with us.”

“I’ve just finished the one-day class with Janice and I’ve got to say it was absolutely awesome! It was fantastically well-structured and I think to me, the most important thing is that I learned something completely new, I did something completely new and it brought the team closer together. There are a lot of takeaways that we’re going to put into practice. Also we made great contacts, so I think it’s just a start of something really special.”

“Janice was an amazing instructor; I learned a tremendous amount of information. I feel like a week-long course is compressed into about a long workday. Really grateful to have the experience to be here and I’m highly recommending to anyone else who’s thinking about taking this course, absolutely do it.”

“I would like to say that the Undercover Rose is an unbelievable application in real life experience in teaching one how to read people and understand key language instances through voice, body, mind, spirit, and understanding how to become a better person both in communication and in oneself. This was an amazing opportunity for us to learn from within and from others on our team, and I highly recommend the opportunity to anyone who gets a chance to go through this.”

“After today’s lessons, I think the biggest takeaway for me, in addition to all of the amazing pointers that Janice gave us, [was] being reconnected with the team as individuals and being able to learn how to work together. I think we all came together much closer and more familiar with each other at the end, so I’m really excited about that moving forward.”

“The most transformative weekend I have ever had, and the most fun. You have absolutely no idea what your day’s going to be like. None. To be able to be totally present and all you know is that you’re going to have excitement, you’re going to be learning new things, you’re going to be challenged, but you’re going to be laughing and be doing it surrounded by other amazing women. That’s all you have going into the experience and everything that comes at you is just…it’s like what you see in the movies, but it’s relevant to your life and it’s just exhilarating. It’s just the most exhilarating experience I think I’ve ever had.
I would recommend this to every single woman I know, to anyone, to anybody who is wanting to have an opportunity to grow and to learn more about themselves and to receive tools to make positive change in their life, but do it in a really exciting environment where you’re getting to play and you’re getting to explore new things and you’re doing it in the grasp of the most professional, knowledgeable experts in their field. So you’re getting taken care of but you’re also getting challenged; your abilities are getting challenged. It’s just top shelf, from the moment you arrive to the moment you wake up until you go to bed at night, it’s just top shelf. It’s just awesome! I love it!”

“It’s been awesome and truly an adventure. When I first decided to come to this I had no idea what to expect. What I received has been over the top of what I expected. It is an adventure that anyone who takes it can take back and use in their family, their business, their life – any aspect of their life. The trainers here are experts in all areas and their backgrounds are deep and wide. You get one-on-one, they really make sure that you learn. They care about you and it comes through in every aspect from working hard to playing hard, they’re with you the whole time. Anyone who really wants to get unstuck or just wants to improve their lives or have a challenge in their life, find their passion, I would recommend this. It has been absolutely fantastic!”

“This was one of the most unique experiences that I’ve ever encountered. I was in law enforcement already so the opportunity to be part of this event knowing all the tricks of the trade and watching these unique women experience it first hand, I learned from it even though I was in the field and I continuously learn from it. To watch them grow and see myself grow. It’s also empowering for other women in my field to come to an event like this. Not just restrict it to women who’ve never seen a gun or made an entry into a house. It would be rewarding for other law enforcement to enjoy this type of event because it would empower them and take back tools that Janice and her crew presented to us. I’ve learned so much in the last two days just by meeting these women and having an opportunity to meet each and every one of her hand-picked team. A lot of you don’t know this, but I’ve seen Janice at the very beginning. I’ve seen her grow; I’ve seen her evolve to where we are today and if I had to say anything to anyone that I meet, I would highly recommend this to every female that I ever encounter because they will walk away from this truly a different person, a stronger person and take life for how it is handed to them.”

“To all my warrior sisters that are out there, you get to the computer right now and you sign up! You’re going to learn how to be beautiful, be strong, be smart, be feminine, and be sexy all at the same time. No one is going to be a better instructor and commander than Janice Niederhofer and her wonderful team of professionals. CIA agents, DEA folks, you name it, Janice has thought about it, every detail is impeccably attended to and you’re going to have a blast! They make passion plus persistence pay off. I’m an individual who has never even held a gun, much less shot a gun or even felt that gun ownership was even endorsable. However, I have a totally different respect for it now; I understand and appreciate handling a gun, what it means to shoot a gun. I have a better appreciation for law enforcement and what they do. All of these professionals instilled in me a belief in myself and my own strength in how to overcome the unknowable.”

“Our commander, Janice, is amazing and that team that she led – just incredible – law enforcement, FBI, DEA, military, tactical. The skills on that team were amazing and the at the same time so were their people skills. We went from learning the physical skills that they have to learn, to learning the psychological skills that they have to know. So everything about the team, all of the aspects, were wonderful. The event was amazing because of that team!

[I’m taking away from the event] the presence of mind, to stay present. One of the things that we learned is that you want to live and exist in a state that is somewhere between being completely relaxed and being completely on alert. You want to be present in your surroundings at all times. I think people forget that. We also learned accountability. We, each of us is only, the only one that’s responsible for our own well being. It’s something that we learned over and over again and it’s such an important lesson.”

Executive Director – California Women’s Conference

“I attend conferences all over the world and I have the opportunity to work with individuals that have amazing messages and gifts to give back to women. This by far has been one of the most incredible experiences I’ve ever had. This weekend was amazing. I had no idea what I was coming into or what to expect. It has been an opportunity for me to take back personal development tools that I can use for my business. I’ve learned how to respond when I’m in a stressful situation. We had a phenomenal team of women that I had never met before and within the first few hours we were so tight. [Undercover Rose] puts you through this experience where you are able to go ahead and test yourself. There were points where I thought – you know what, I can’t do this; it’s too hard. They gave us tools and resources to be successful and keep pushing.

I can’t believe how much I learned and how this experience has just made me feel like – wow! I can take this and come back and really apply it to my business. This is a world class conference. We often don’t have time to get away for a weekend. You want to make time for this. This is something that you absolutely want to give yourself. Give yourself this gift. I am so thankful that I had the opportunity. Working with the founder, Janice – she really made a point of making this a world class event.

What I loved is that the evenings were about having fun and really celebrating our feminine contribution to the world. During the day we’re out there doing things that I never imagined. Without telling you too much about what you’re going to experience – let’s just say shooting a gun, I had zero comfort and by the end of the day I was a very good marksman. I’m really excited about being that comfortable.”

“Before starting the day with Janice and her class, I thought of myself as having pretty good listening skills. But really learning from Janice about matching, how not to match, and learning about the importance of keywords, I realized I’d walk out of here a much better listener and much more able to build rapport and connect with the people I’m talking with. Those are skills I’m bringing back to my work immediately.”

“The Undercover Rose off-site today was incredible. I’ve done a lot of corporate off-sites and this is one that I will take with me. It is about bringing out the very best in people, honoring people, and learning how to pull out the very best in people through really listening, repeating back what they’ve said to you, giving them your full attention. You are going to bring out the very best in people and honor them and build trust and you’re going to get what you want in life, so that’s pretty cool. The other thing that I learned is around leadership. You don’t have to necessarily have the manager title to be a leader. I learned that in leadership you just need to decide to be the leader in everything that you do and act from a place of integrity and even if people don’t give that back to you it still comes back to you in other forms that just bless your life. So, it was totally worth my time and I got a lot out of it.”

“I’ve had such a wonderful experience and I’ve learned how to harness my own inner power as well as work collaboratively. The experience was absolutely amazing. The individuals that I encountered over that past three days I have absolutely fallen in love with. This experience has allowed us to really communicate together as a team and the speed at which we connected was absolutely incredible. I walked with away with the ability to truly be empowered in myself and not be competitive in that power, and be able to share it with a group of wonderful women. And the things that we were able to accomplish this weekend were absolutely amazing.”

“Twice a year, we bring our Lab Managers together, pulling them in from various locations across the United States and Canada. Our goal is to educate, motivate and most importantly, to unite this group. Our CEO happened upon Janice Niederhofer. What an incredible FIND! Janice is an amazing woman with a true gift of communicating and coaching. Janice’s experiences and insights were shared with this group in such a way; allowing them the opportunity to take part in an exercise of confidence, endurance, and belief within themselves. She knows how to empower and energize and is an inspiration to all. As the coordinator of this event, I found Janice to be incredibly organized and easy to work with. She brings along her own technical crew and sets-up the day before the event to ensure organization and a smooth-running operation. When Janice touches your life; she leaves an imprint on your heart.”

“Janice’s recent presentation at our Information Security conference was a breath of fresh air for a bunch of technology-focused people who often forget about the importance of the person on the other end of the email. She was able to relate well to our audience and hold their attention; not an easy thing to do when talking to techies about a non-tech topic. Her knowledge of non-verbal communication and her lively and interactive method of presentation was not only informative, but also entertaining. She was definitely one of the highlights of our conference.”

I left with a desire to learn more from Janice in the near future.”

You have a gift that allows you to connect with and empower the people who you share your experiences with, and you are putting that talent to excellent use! Keep up the great work, there are a lot of us that need to hear the message that you bring. We all have obstacles in life and business which we avoid tackling, and usually those are the very things that are keeping us from being able to reach our maximum potential. You’ve reminded us of that, and also that where the will exists…the way will always be found..”

“Janice Niederhofer’s One Day Interview and Interrogation class is a great addition to our training program at the DEA Training Academy. Janice is very experienced and you can tell she has a passion for and believes in what she teaches. She captures the 4 full attention and the students show enthusiasm and interest for what they are learning. The student comments and evaluations prove that she leaves them with a full understanding of what they were taught and that they will use the training to improve their future drug enforcement cases.”

“Janice Niederhofer delivers! In a truly heartfelt way, Janice drives home a simple message that seems so basic yet often overlooked. That message being understanding, acceptance and love is found in all of us even those that seem, on the surface, unlikely providers of those attributes. Although Janice’s message should be in plain view for all to see, we need her out there helping to make that clear! Many thanks to Janice! It is my hope that she continues to do what she does so very well while reaching as many people as possible!!”

Director, St Isabella’s Marin PYC

“St Isabella Church’s Marin Parish Youth Council, or PYC as it is commonly referred to, which is one of the largest Youth Groups of Northern California was excited to welcome Janice Niederhofer of Undercover Rose to it’s annual Speaker Night on Monday January 29th. The theme of Speaker Night was ‘Follow Your Dreams’ and Janice spoke with honesty, intelligence, and enthusiasm which is exactly what this generation needs to hear in terms of motivating them to get ready for the future! She offered examples from her fascinating and humble past with the emphasis on how she wasn’t going to let where she came from dictate where she was going.

Speaking to teenagers isn’t always the easiest task, but the children were quite invested since Janice chose not to talk to them, but with them, especially when she interacted with them and took time to answer their own questions. It was both an honor and privilege to have Janice Niederhofer speak to the youth of our community and we hope that she continues to inspire people with her wisdom and knowledge.”
