Hi, Joanna here.
As the multi-award winning CEO and Leadership Development Partner to multiple organizations across the globe, I'm proud to have created a company of expert facilitators and coaches who are customer-centered and who create safe spaces for busy professionals to learn the key tools and practices needed for the future of work. Our work is fresh, valuable, fun, engaging and leading-edge.
I’m a facilitator, internationally certified executive coach, program architect, speaker, and visionary—dedicated to helping leaders understand their impact and use it for good. Having done this for 25+ years, I know what excellent client partnership looks like and I only hire those who are at the top of their game. I have worked for 7+ training companies and learned the very best practices, tools, certifications, as well as the needs of hundreds of companies.
One of the things I learned through this exposure was that many training and coaching companies don't practice what they preach. They may speak to inclusion or innovation, but not apply it in-house. Here, we walk the talk and we use all the tools and strategies to make sure that we model the way in everything we do. My team is empowered to be at their best and in turn, they always empower our participants to find their own power.
When I founded this company in 2014, I didn’t realize what it meant to step into my own power until one day, my team was asked to describe me in one word.
Their answer: "powerful".
I was taken aback. After being told early in my career that I needed glasses to ‘look smarter’ and a masculine suit to ‘make it’ in business, power was the last word I associated with myself. I used to think power was tied to titles, but I came to understand it as the ability to influence and inspire.
Being underestimated in the past lit a fire under me to work even harder at my craft and at being my authentic self.
Now, I help others step into their own power.
Throughout my journey, I've witnessed firsthand the profound impact that leaders can have on the lives of those around them. From my work in leadership development with Canada’s Big Five banks and diverse industries worldwide, to my decade-long experience as an HR leader navigating the highs and lows of the tech and financial services sectors, one truth stands out: empowered leaders empower others. With countless hours coaching thousands of executives and leaders, my mission remains clear—helping individuals harness their potential to inspire, lead, and create meaningful change within their organizations.
Whether through...
- Large-scale global change initiatives for high-growth, fast-paced organizations
- Transforming cultures to drive greater innovation and human-centered approaches
- Designing and delivering experiential development programs that equip leaders and empower teams to bring us into the workplace of the future
- Organizational restructuring and design
- Or, building inclusive attraction and retention strategies
I’ve been in the trenches, led teams to success, and deeply understand our clients’ modern workplace challenges. My unwavering commitment is to empower our clients to overcome these challenges and achieve their highest potential.
