Coaching to build a life and career

Bilingual transition and transformation coaching
I create a safe, supportive yet stimulating and challenging space for clients around the world to take control of their own development to build a personal and professional life they love – with purpose and on purpose.
With warmth and compassion, I help the executives, leaders, teams, children, couples and families I work with to gain perspective and clarity, identify their ambitions, goals and objectives, and create and implement concrete, practical plans to make them happen.
Make changes.
Get results.
Flourish.
Transitions of all kinds – from changing jobs, reinventing a career and creating a business to starting a new life in a new country or becoming a parent – can be a powerful catalyst for growth. I help clients leverage all kinds of change to develop their adaptability, curiosity and resilience.
I offer all my clients my dynamic energy, intelligent insights, and laser focus on achieving the results they want.

What my clients say about me
Joanne's caring attitude, active listening and powerful questions helped me find my path, my resources, and the right action to take to achieve my objective: finding myself and receiving the respect I need to live happily. Her cultural approach - which is different to mine - was hugely supportive, both to undo some typically French limiting beliefs and to find a job in the English-speaking world. Thank you, Joanne!
Joanne knows exactly how to help people access the best of themselves. She is an exceptionally charismatic group facilitator who knows how to create trust, bring together people of different profiles, and inspire transformation.
Joanne is a captivating and inspiring coach, with infectious enthusiasm. With her support, I have been able to identify my strengths and obstacles as a female leader in a particularly masculine industry. I have begun to emiminate roadblocks to create the career I want. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Joanne's two-day leadership workshop was just what I needed when I accepted a new role managing a team of high-potential international profiles. Working with her helped me figure out my management style, plan ways to build team cohesion, and gain the confidence to step into my new role mindfully, with a sense of direction and renewed purpose.
I didn’t know about intercultural coaching but from the very first session with Joanne, I knew I couldn’t do without it when making the transition to life in France. She offered me the perfect mix of cultural insights to help me adapt to life in France and support as an energetic and compassionate coach.
Working with Joanne helped me enormously when I returned to work after having children and was searching for a way to balance being a present mother and continuing to carve out a fulfilling career. She offered me a safe space to explore my objectives and gain clarity on how I wanted to achieve them – all with intelligence, generosity and a light touch.

You are enough: when it’s time to say no to self-improvement
It may seem at best counter-intuitive and at worst blasphemous for a coach to say this, but lately I’ve been pondering question of whether, at some point, we should say enough is enough when it comes to self-improvement and personal development. I’m surely thinking these subversive thoughts in part because
Stop shoulding on yourself: how to break the habit
Do you ever should on yourself? I sometimes do. It goes something like this. That colleague is getting a new certification. I should do that. That family is going to Lapland for Christmas. We should do that. Maybe I should be using Instagram. Maybe I shouldn’t have left Twitter. That
Six little words: balancing the pursuit of excellence and enjoyment
Before every exam, test, performance or interview I have ever had, my mother said just six words: “Do your best, and enjoy it”. Sounds odd, doesn’t it? No “good luck” or “it’ll be fine”, and I don’t think many parents tell their kids to try to enjoy an exam. But
