MY APPROACH
◊ When working with me, you will discover something or experience something that “clicks” and shifts you or your team to change your perspective on how to walk your path or meet your purpose.
◊ You will experience FLOW; connection and challenge, purpose with meaning. And that will feel magical!
◊ My tools and methods are a result of my learning and experience with others in business settings, in cultures not my own, in schools, through reading and reflection, and being influenced by others met as teachers, friends, clients, leaders, teammates, or thought a random ride when hitchhiking.
◊ My use of traditional and non-traditional human resource modalities and ways of knowing create a developmental experience for you to successfully and joyfully do the work in from of you, that you have chosen or to which you have been called.
◊ Working with others to potentiate themselves, potentiates and jazzes me! Together we will engage in life and work in new, creative, interesting, and positively impactful ways.
◊ I am inviting you into the world of the Human Resorceress; one of courage to find the possibility and dance in the discovery, creating the experience of you or your team being released, not through “Abracadabra”, but holding the mirror reflecting your potential and welcoming you to dive into your future.
CLIENTS & COLLEAGUES SAY…
Joanne helps me be the person and consultant I desire to be as well as modeling for me the skills and behaviors of a responsible shadow consultant. She stretches me in the most positive ways and keeps my skillfulness in good shape. I always leave our conversations with a calm, a new perspective, and my own ability to stay in whatever situation I am navigating.

Joanne’s coaching has been invaluable to my leadership development and in critical moments of decision-making. She has helped me connect my head, gut and heart. Leading from a space of alignment has jettisoned me to a Senior Vice Presidency. I will continue to find a guide in the Human Resorceress at pivotal moments in my leadership.
Joanne’s unique ability to strategically identify opportunities, challenge the norms, achieve leader buy-in, align leaders, and facilitate a paradigm shift – is a unique skill set I have yet to see in anyone else. Joanne’s positive impact is still seen within the organization six years later.
The capacity to assist individuals in discovering their own solutions to complex and sometimes ambiguous situations is one of the many talents Joanne possesses. Her remarkably unflappable style of leading and mentoring colleagues is refreshing.
