Meet Joanna

Accredited Coach & Leadership Expert

With over 35 years of experience working in complex and challenging environments, I understand the demands and pressures on leaders. As a mother of three, I also understand the challenges of balancing family and career, and the conflicts this can cause.  

 

Having been a senior police officer, a Non-Executive Director and Chair of a Board of Directors in the finance sector, I understand that it can be lonely at the top with the heavy weight of responsibility.   

 

As someone who is neurodivergent, I also know what it's like to not quite fit in, yet feel you stand out. There can be so many things that weigh us down and prevent our full flight. 

​

I now embrace and celebrate my difference and all the positive things about being uniquely me. I use my gifts, skills and experiences to help others identify and be their unique selves, achieve their full potential and find a balance that works for them.

I genuinely believe in lifelong learning and continuous professional development.  I left school in 1983 with mediocre grades and spent a year doing voluntary work before joining the police. I soon realised that learning and developing, together with hard work and determination, really mattered and made a difference. However, it wasn't until 1996 that I decided to turn my knowledge, skills and experience into formal qualifications.
