Bio
David Maclean
I have had the privilege of being coached by Joanne, in the context of my professional capacity. Joanne's coaching style is compassionate yet assertive, and gentle but bold. Joanne's skill and approached equated to me quickly getting to the root of my fears, and dealing with them in a realistic, sustainable, and humane way. I have no hesitation in endorsing Joanne's skills to professionals and businesses seeking a very refreshing and no-nonense approach for personal and strategic growth.

I had the privilege of managing Joanne for two years and have known her for at least ten. Joanne is an exceptionally gifted and insightful teacher, coach and consultant who mixes her competence with professionalism and passion. Having observed her in a variety of situations, one thing remains constant - she passionately and vigorously pursues whatever she takes on. Her confidence and enthusiasm are infectious, thus igniting the spirit of those who work alongside her. Scott Roy Director, Whitten & Roy Partnership, Ltd.
