Thrive through Transition
Flourish in Transformation
Coaching to build a life and career
with purpose, on purpose
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.

Intercultural diversity: turning challenge into opportunity
In my intercultural coaching work, I support mainly, though not exclusively, two client profiles. The first are companies in which teams from different countries need to work together. This is often done on a project basis, bringing people to collaborate with clients and colleagues they do not know that well;
Lessons in life from our children
I was recently regaling a close (and willing!) friend with a few stories of funny things my children have said and done of late. For example, my seven-year-old daughter who loves to read Dog Man has taken to exclaiming “Oh boy, this is gonna be great”, which is hilarious given
