The First of Its Kind

You're are fab at what you do & you know how to get results. Well, you know one way; long hours. Giving up time and space in your personal life to get more done. You watch dismayed as others take the credit for your work and the less competent get promoted. Other entrepreneurs far less capable than you suck up all the attention. Meanwhile you feel like you are running on ice. Not seeing a way forward is exhausting. You start to question whether these big goals of yours are really worth it.

You know you want more, yet you see yourself unseen, unheard, overlooked and teetering on burnout:

• Hesitating pressing go on that long held corporate escape plan; you want out, heck you need out but can you cut it as an entrepreneur? The unknown is scary AF.
• Not applying for new roles that you KNOW would be a better fit and challenge you in all the right ways (AND that you’re absolutely qualified for and capable of succeeding)
• Withholding showing up and promoting your accomplishments, badassery, insights and expertise in meetings, on socials, during networking events and in front of potential clients.
• Sidestepping difficult conversations, self promotion (so icky!) negotiations and putting your glorious offers out there to be judged and rejected (hello anxiety my old friend..).

Leaving you drained, frustrated, inching closer to apathy and even more disconnected from what you really want. AND, to top it off you are a master of overthinking and second guessing yourself so now you' re less and less confident that you can achieve achieve what's MEANINGFUL for you. How can you cultivate the life, leadership and business you want when the world isn't set up for people like you? 

And what if...

You could feel like you are taking steps towards the kind of life you want, too?

It’s possible to have the experiences you want (and deserve) in your work AND at home.

How do you get there? By taking stock of who you really are and getting crystal clear on what matters most to you - AND by taking loving, manageable, meaningful steps in the direction of your goals and your gut. The answers aren’t *always* in more strategic plans (...hear me out on this one).

The answers are *always* in setting your intensions, owning your impact and claiming the life, leadership and business you’re committed to crafting a couple of layers deeper.

A 3-month immersive leadership coaching program that supports ambitious biz leaders, entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs in waiting to curate their most desirable vision for their life, businesses and leadership.  No more burn out, no more should've, would've or could've.

Have we met?

I’m Jo, short for Joanna, long for J..

I've been fortunate to have a really successful corporate, consulting & coaching career.

I laugh at my own jokes & my spelling is a D minus at best.

I've advised major players like Rolls Royce plc, Land Rover Jaguar & the Government of Canada. I've unlocked millions of dollars with my leadership.

I've worked across many industries including civil aerospace, defense aerospace, marine, automotive, legal, not for profits, universities, training & employment services, food manufacturers and with indigenous and first nation groups.

I have coached 1000's of people across 3 continents.

I am also highly introverted & sensitive.

Despite being a high performer - for the first 35 years of my life I struggled with anxiety & self doubt.

Learning to partner with my nervous system & the extra capacity for thought that we introverts are born with has allowed me to minimize self doubt, stop over thinking & take action on my highest career goals from a place of self compassion.

I fought hard to learn how to take up space in this extroverted world without compromising who I really am. I specialize in creating safe harbors for those around me to unlearn everything that is getting in the way of them of thriving in their innate badassery.  

My skills in active listening, human behavior, helping people to stand out, win trust & improve credibility authentically, simplifying & solving complex situations, make me your perfect guide. 

Being an ambitious introvert is tough!  Extroverts have it sooo much easier!  If you have introversion energy you may well have a higher IQ and EQ than your extrovert colleagues.  You also have superior leadership skills. It doesn't matter. Introverts earn over 20% less than extroverts & highly extroverted people are 25% more likely to land top jobs.

Time & time again less capable, less qualified extroverts will beat us in  career & business success.  This is despite study after study proving introverts  make better leaders, perform more highly & exceed the expectations of investors more often than extroverts. 

It is OUR responsibility to fix this! Transforming how introverts see themselves is literally what makes me get out of bed each day; I'm obsessed!

The world needs our leadership, intelligence, creativity, calm & problem solving.  We have to learn how to quieten the self doubt & overthinking. We must speak up, speak out &  showcase the value we bring. 

 We have to show up. And show up on our terms. We must recharge how & when we need to. We are far more likely to burn out than extroverts through a combination of diligence & the social currency of work & commerce.

When I  reflect on how difficult it felt to be me in a world not designed for people like me I am overcome with relief & gratitude that it's not like that anymore.

I am so grateful that by doing the work of leveraging my introvert advantage I am aligned with my values, passions & my business is thriving. Let me help you skip some of the misery I went  through & show you how to jump ahead to the good stuff!
