Business Coaching

I was very fortunate to have Joanna as a coach during a key period of my leadership career journey…This has been a powerful and formative learning experience for me and hugely impactful at a pivotal moment in my leadership career journey where I needed to apply and then navigate a new executive role. Joanna’s supportive and inquiry-led coaching style offered me a good level of challenge, reflection, constructive feedback and to focus on my goals and objectives. Overall, the coaching relationship was very positive, and I feel that it has strengthened the leadership tools in my toolbox through the ability to talk through different scenarios, assumptions, perspectives and test out different approaches to navigate through a range of contexts/circumstances.

Joanna has been instrumental in helping me organize my thoughts by providing strategies and talking things out to structure my ideas effectively. She has also helped me reflect on past experiences. This has enabled me to gain deeper insights into my strengths, weaknesses, and areas for growth. Joanna has helped prepare me to navigate the future with clarity and confidence by taking a whole person approach and not just talking about situations as they occur. We have worked together for a few years and I can most definitely say she has contributed a great deal to my success in progressing at my organization.
