About me

Energy for Growth this Spring and Summer - Review, Reflect, Recharge and Renew

With all the change and uncertainty that is happening in our world, the natural seasons continue to march on, and if your life is at a crossroads or you're feeling unbalanced, or you just want more energy, I would love to support you.

What are you hoping for in 2025? How would you like to feel about your life, your work, your future? Now is a perfect time to Review, Reflect, Recharge and Renew – take the insights and learning from the season past to provide focus and energy and for the season ahead.

If you would like to give yourself this gift through some coaching, please drop me an email and we can spend some time discussing your hopes and expectations in a complimentary Discovery Call. From there we can craft a bespoke coaching series to meet your needs and hopes.

Your tailored coaching might include:

  • Exploring your purpose generally or for this next season
  • Defining your goals so they shine and draw you towards them
  • Creating your personal map of the way to reach your goals
  • Growing your self-awareness, self-compassion and self-belief
  • Boosting your resilience, wellbeing and energy
  • Celebrating your progress in ways that make you smile

Positive Intelligence (PQ) Mental Fitness Program

Alternatively, you may like to join me and others on an 8-week Positive Intelligence program to understand your Saboteurs, grow in wisdom or your inner Sage, and take back control from the autopilot of your thoughts. This program gives you the tools and resources to boost your mental fitness, just like going to the gym boosts your physical fitness. The program includes an app with weekly videos and daily focuses, a weekly learning pod with me as your PQ Coach plus individual coaching as requested.

Positive Intelligence is a great program for anyone, at any stage of life, neurotypical or neurodivergent. Some of my clients with ADHD have really found it helpful.

You can find out more about Positive Intelligence (PQ) at  positiveintelligence.com and you can take the Saboteur Assessment https://www.positiveintelligence.com/saboteurs/. My next PQ program starts 28th April 2025.

I look forward to meeting you in a Discovery Call, hearing your hopes and goals and supporting you to reach them 😊

Past client recommendations:

"I am so pleased that I had the good sense to commission you as my compass back in January. I would most certainly not have found my feet within 6 months (within 6 months!!) had I not done so. I was completely without any view of the future or of myself and you helped me turn around – I shall always be extremely grateful for the time you spent with me."   Christopher, Surrey

"Joanne has been an incredible benefit to me this past year. I'm not the most structured of people and as such, can often have differing topics each session that she needs to adapt to. Every session has been hugely beneficial as she's helped me work through challenges I've faced in areas like parenting, mindset, family, career, and more. Can't thank Joanne enough for the quite literally life-changing impact it's had on me."  Client with ADHD, Sussex

"The impact of my coaching with Joanne has been great, particularly in terms of my emotional well-being. Through our sessions, I've gained valuable insights that have helped me understand my thoughts and feelings more deeply. This awareness has allowed me to navigate challenges with greater resilience and clarity. The practical tools and strategies provided during our coaching have been instrumental in helping me set and achieve my goals. Whether it’s through goal-setting frameworks, mindfulness techniques, or actionable steps, I've learned how to break down my objectives into manageable tasks. This not only keeps me focused but also boosts my confidence as I make progress. Overall, the combination of emotional support and practical guidance has not only enhanced my well-being but also empowered me to pursue my aspirations with renewed vigour. I truly appreciate the positive shift this coaching journey has brought to my life."  Coachee with ADHD, London

“The biggest benefit of the Positive Intelligence programme for me was that whilst the program helped me improve my self-awareness to achieve a deeper understanding of myself, it also gave me the tools to channel this very positively into my life, both personally and professionally.  

The group element was a real plus as it was a safe space to open up, discuss and helped me work through my own preconceptions. I believe the outcomes I achieved were strengthened through this group approach.  

Joanne perfectly balanced support and challenge and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending both her and the programme to anyone.”    Kate, Suffolk
