When Dr. Janet Lockhart-Jones reflects on her 25-year career as President and CEO of Lockhart Jones Consulting (formerly Project Partners Consulting, Inc.), one truth stands out: her journey has never been solely about business. It has been about service—empowering people to discover their voices, unlock their potential, and step into their purpose.
Today, she carries that mission into her groundbreaking new role as the inaugural President of Ms. Corporate America Texas, where she is setting the stage for women to lead with confidence and make their mark on the world.
Building Success on Experience
Running a successful consultancy for over two decades has given Dr. Lockhart-Jones a unique foundation. Just as she guided organizations in leadership development and strategic management, she now leads Ms. Corporate America Texas with the same entrepreneurial focus—overseeing marketing, financial management, community engagement, and growth.
“Ms. Corporate America is a business,” she explains. “And like any thriving business, its success relies on vision, strategy, and heart.”
Her deep understanding of Texas’ cultural landscape and rich history of pageantry further fuels her ability to build a program that reflects the state’s spirit while amplifying women’s missions, passions, and purpose.
Resilience Through Challenges
Her success was not without trials. Like many leaders, Dr. Lockhart-Jones faced turbulent seasons—including economic downturns and the pandemic, which forced her to pivot her services online. The challenges were not only professional but also deeply personal: overcoming cancer, caring for her elderly mother and aunt, and raising her daughter as a single mother. Through it all, she leaned on faith, resilience, and a commitment to mental health.
“As a certified mental health educator, I believe true leadership cannot exist without mental well-being,” she shares. “To thrive, we must strengthen both our professional skills and our inner selves.”
A Platform for Women’s Brilliance
What sets Dr. Lockhart-Jones apart is her unwavering focus on service. Beyond consulting and coaching, she sees her role at Ms. Corporate America Texas as a sacred opportunity to spotlight women’s brilliance. Her mission is clear: to make the Texas competition the gold standard for all 50 states—a model of how professional pageantry can inspire, empower, and equip women to shine in their careers and communities.
“I want women to see Ms. Corporate America as more than a competition. It’s a movement. It’s a platform to share your mission, elevate your voice, and lead with authenticity.”
Faith, Family, and Purpose
For Dr. Lockhart-Jones, the work is also deeply personal. Her life is a testament to perseverance through adversity, anchored by her values of integrity, family, and faith. “To God be the Glory I am still here,” she says, quoting scripture that grounds her decisions: ‘For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?’ (Mark 8:36).
Her story is not just one of professional milestones—such as authoring Stories from the World’s Greatest Speakers, being nominated for the Fluxx Award, or gracing multiple magazine covers—but of resilience, compassion, and service. Service is at the core. This is how Dr. Janet Lockhart-Jones is championing the next generation of women leaders.
Looking Ahead
In the years to come, Dr. Lockhart-Jones envisions both her consulting practice and Ms. Corporate America Texas reaching new heights. Her dream is to create a nationwide ripple effect—empowering women leaders across industries and communities to embrace their brilliance and use their platforms for good.
“Success is not just measured by profit,” she reflects. “It’s measured by the lives we touch and the difference we make. That is the legacy I’m building—one leader at a time.”
