"I started working with Joan a few weeks before I had to do a big presentation. Although she did ask some uncomfortable questions and made me think, the end goal was to get me to be more confident in myself and the material I was presenting.
Joan helped me become more myself and I was able to go and do a great presentation. The sessions really helped my confidence and it was really impactful and inspiring to have sessions with someone who has so much experience and knowledge. Joan is a real role model.
I would recommend Joan to others for short- or long-term work."

"I very much appreciate Joan's whole person approach to coaching, you are allowed to be real and to unpack the obvious and not so obvious areas for redress and supported to find solutions/adjust perspectives and to progress.
The question 'I was able to work on what was discussed during coaching session' was rated 4 as some of the session outcomes were for application and further development outside the session. The coaching session provided excellent ground to prepare - very insightful and comprehensive support. "
