Joann is one of the most dedicated individuals I have ever met. She shows a great deal of compassion and care when coaching clients. I have had the joy of working with her previously thru various events and teams, and she is always extremely easy and fun to work with. I have sought out her career and life advise thru her coaching service, and the amount of professionalism and great assistance she provided myself, is unmatched. She will leave her mark on the coaching industry mainly thru the people she has the opportunity to work with.
Joann is a great mentor and leader. She is an inspiration to everyone she meets.

You have been such a positive role model for both the company and us employees. I can’t say how much we have both needed you and appreciated you in all your support and encouragement. I have never worked with someone so dedicated and with such integrity for us all as a team and as individuals. I hope you continue to live out your dreams, Joann. You are what we all hope to be—an inspiration to others and a commitment to be the best you can.

Sample Talks

Unleashing the SuperHero Within

This game changing conversation/workshop is centered around the Super Hero that lives within all of us.

It begins with a very real and confronting (yet fun) look at the things that hold us back and why. From there we move into a discovery zone of how to transform these limitations into leveraging powers. The conversation/workshop leaves participants with a sense of wonder and awe: wonder of what other things/thoughts/people are holding them back and awe for what is possible.
