After a diving incident in high school, I became terrified of scuba diving and thought I'd never overcome this fear. In 2015 I earned my scuba diving certification in Fiji.

Overcoming fears and taking risks is part of my personal and executive/career coaching philosophy, especially for finding a career and job you're passionate about. I know it can be challenging–I've changed careers, moved across the country (with no job) to live and work in San Francisco, and started my own executive search firm, all while raising a family.  

My career passion of over 30 years is helping clients fulfill their passions and land their dream job, advance in their career and step into their leadership role with confidence and competence.  I work with clients around the world, in person or by  phone or video call, from mid-level to senior management in corporate, academic, non-profit and government sectors.

While decades of experience as an executive recruiter and running my own executive search firm was a tremendous education, I also earned a Masters at Harvard and an MBA from Simmons School of Management in Boston, and completed the program at CTI (Coaches Training Institute), a global pioneer in coaching and relationship management.
Once Joanne gets to know you, it becomes a mission for her to guide and coach you until you get where you want to be in your profession. I have experienced it first hand, how she is with you at every step of the process and will not rest until she has seen you succeed in your professional quest.
