How I Help Organisations

Are you:


  • Fed up with

    high staff turnover

    too many complaints

    to HR

My Services For Individuals


I specialise in helping Further Education professionals who feel stuck in their career. If you've lost

lost that passion for what you do

and are desperate to get it back, I’m here to help. You may want to stay in your role and learn to make changes so you can reignite that spark. Or you may want to explore new career options. Either way, that’s fine.




But please – don’t stay feeling stuck.





Because it can become all-consuming. I know how it is to feel

demotivated, overwhelmed and stressed out

with your career. I’ve been there – and I came out fighting. I want you to feel happy, inspired and energised by your work. I want to show you how to have a better work life balance. Because we all deserve that.






I went from:

  • Having sleepless nights
  • Working all hours and missing precious family time
  • Suffering with constant major back pain
  • Living on a fast-paced hamster wheel of stress
  • Feeling exhausted every single day – both in body and mind


To:

  • Sleeping well and waking up excited for the day ahead
  • Choosing my hours and sticking to them
  • Having time and energy to start my day with exercise – so I’m now pain-free
  • Living a relaxed and fulfilled life
  • And my friends and family tell me I’ve never looked happier





I did this by digging deep into what was going wrong with my career and making the right changes. And this is what I help my clients to achieve too. I’ve had business and career coaching, I’ve studied strategies and I’ve been through rigorous training. All of this forms part of my unique way of guiding and supporting you.

If this sounds like the new life you’ve been dreaming of, please get in touch and let’s do this together.

I love helping my clients to

rediscover their passion and self-belief

; and it seems they love it too. Have a look at this testimonial. It had me smiling for days…



“When I first contacted Joanna

I was completely lost

. I had long been unhappy in my work, but had a very well paid job and a very specific knowledge base that allowed me to be good at it.

I wanted change but couldn’t see how.

Joanna asked me all the right questions. At the times I didn’t have an answer, but Joanna kept pushing and kept digging until I found my next steps.

As fantastic as those conversations were,

the best thing Joanna did for me was to believe in me

, even when I didn’t believe in myself.

She has been invaluable

to getting me to where I am now.

Where is that? I’m starting out on my own, in an industry I have never worked in, with no knowledge of what it takes to become as successful as I was in my last career.

But what I do have now is a passion and a belief.

I used to say I want to succeed.

Now,

because of my work with Joanna

, I say I will.”

Teaching Your People How To Be Inspirational Leaders


From my 25 years in management roles (18 of those in Further Education), I understand the pressures you face.


You know it’s vital for your business to have:

  • Leaders who

    inspire their teams

    to perform

  • A

    stable and happy workforce

    who are dedicated to staying with you

  • Staff who are

    hardworking, organised and efficient



Because without this, your organisation will start to lose money at a terrifying rate. No business can afford that – especially right now. That’s why I’m here to help.

Through my blend of coaching, mentoring and training, I teach your valued leaders exactly how to:



  • Raise their self-awareness – meaning

    improved relationships and outstanding results


  • Develop their emotional intelligence – so they can

    get the best out of their teams


  • Become highly effective communicators – to

    keep morale high


  • Have the

    ability to problem solve

    – to nip issues in the bud

  • Become the best

    high-performing, confident and successful leaders

    they can be

Team Training In Leadership



"Joanna took over the Director’s reigns at Swarthmore in April 2018 at a time of great change for the organisation. She

gently supported all staff to work together

for the betterment of Swarthmore resulting in a cultural shift to team spirit.

Many positive changes

were made, including a systematic overhaul of HR, improved facilities, a new discipline to review and cost all courses, and a refreshing approach to Governance. Her skills included upward management and her influencing of the Board as well as an authentic way of

cutting to the root of the problem.

We continue to grow through COVID-19 and develop some of the

positive building blocks

established during Joanna’s tenure."

Julie Badon, Chair Swarthmore Adult Education Centre June 2020



Workshops/Training/ Speaking:

  • To explore a

    leadership, coaching or team building

    topic of your choice


These are powerful, energetic days to inspire real change in your people. They will leave your workforce feeling more motivated, energised and positive about their role in your organisation.

And a happy team

works harder, smarter, and is dedicated

to staying onboard.




"At Kirklees College we recognise

good leaders are critical

to the success of our organisation. When we have had management recruitment gaps,

Joanna is the first person I think of as she has excellent leadership skills

and can hit the ground running. She has

empowered our middle managers

to recognise and

develop their emotional intelligence.

As a result they have had

greater empathy and demonstrated improved self-awareness

, which has been fundamental in leading their own teams. One of the key things Joanna worked on with leaders and managers was

developing personal growth.

She was able to

help managers become more self-aware

and reflective, working with individuals so they could identify the leadership skills they needed to improve and then

guided them to set their own goals.

This has resulted in clear ownership of professional development and

improvement in performance

over extended time. Joanna also coached leaders in preparation for our last Ofsted Inspection which strengthened our approach and helped us to

achieve a positive outcome.
