Once coaching begins, we will meet twice a month for 2 hours. During each meeting, we will have conversations that reveal blind spots which currently serve as barriers to your performance and realizing what’s important to you. You will start to see changes immediately, and have substantive results in 6 months.
I’m still with Joan after 8 years because this coaching truly makes a difference in how I approach my leadership and my ability to deal with tough issues.
Sheila Stampfli
CEO, Courtesy Associates, a Smith Bucklin Company
I was impressed with the hard work from each member of the team during the coaching retreat, and their willingness to participate in a process that takes a ‘deep cut' at understanding team dynamics. I perceive a genuine progress in our internal transparency, respect for each other, focus on team, fulfilling our mission, as well as individual accomplishments.
Susan Stout

We very successfully sold the business we have been running for nearly 3 decades. Thank you Joan for all your coaching and support through the years. You have made a tremendous contribution to me as a person and as a leader. I don't really have the words to express my gratitude, except to say that you are truly a contribution to the world. Thanks to you, I am free!
Smiley Hsu
President and Co-Founder, Action Systems
I was able to increase my effectiveness as a CFO. I no longer relate to myself as an employee in finance, accountable for having the finances work. I now relate to myself as the Chief Financial Leader of our whole enterprise, and hold myself accountable, in partnership with our CEO, for the entirety of revenue, the long and short term financial strategy and growth. I now think from the big picture on down to the details, with a lot more peace of mind, productivity, and fulfillment for myself and all those on our team.
Diane Gange
CFO, Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe
I like to do things on my own and my way, but this coaching sped up my learning by years. It helped me easily create a roadmap to making my mission real in the world. There's no way I would be at this level of success without it.
Andre Margutti
President, AMEC Contracting and Margutti Properties
This coaching isn’t for people playing a small game or satisfied with “OK”. It’s for people who want productivity driven by inspiration and are on a mission. I recommend every business professional complete this training. It quickly gave me clarity and a solid plan on how to deal with tough challenges and achieve even more success.
