I coach and train leaders and professionals to discover their uniqueness, envision their future and transform personally and professionally for enhanced personal happiness, optimal life fulfillment and increased career performance. Here are some client comments:“[Joanne has] the ability to address the issue at hand and apply my fundamental vision to all situations. Rather than keep working, working and working I have learned to take a step back and assess situations much better which has helped me reduce my work load while obtaining a lot more positive results. Before working with [Joanne] I produced a lot but didn’t seem to get the results that I was looking for. Then I learned to stay true to my vision and be honest with my achievements and started producing results that I was looking for. The 3 most significant improvements from working with [Joanne] were:1. Keep my company alive: do whatever it took – found new sources of revenue which created the confidence that was required to attract investments. 2. Have a more balanced life – balancing work and family3. Have a better time dealing with daily conflicts.” -- S.D."It's funny, but you can be so good at identifying brand attributes and communicating consumer benefits for your clients, but when it comes to doing the same for yourself, it seems to be an insurmountable task. Joanne helped me to identify what value I would bring to a new position and what I wanted in a new job. When an offer came, Joanne was there to coach me through negotiations. As I progress through the new company, I know that circumstances will arise where I will need to think through my approach. And Joanne will be there to coach me through it. -- M.K.Get in touch with me on LinkedIn to receive a complimentary coaching session.
