Consultancy and teams
I work with teams and organisations to address entrenched problems and achieve deeper change to the way the team or organisation operates. These assignments include a combination of coaching, group work, action learning, reflective practice and/or training with individuals and teams. I bring themes that have arisen from my conversations with teams and individuals to identify changes and improvements that can be made in the team or wider organisation. This work acknowledges that tackling entrenched problems involves changing the wider system, not just enabling individuals to navigate that system.
“The training was an absolute joy. Each week built seamlessly on the previous week. The training was all online but felt engaging and relaxed. The course had the right balance of theory and practice. Joanna supported and encouraged us to try things out and share our feelings. She held the space really well and welcomed questions and critique. I learned a lot from observing her as well as participating in the course. The course was practical and inspiring and the most enjoyable learning I have done in a long time.”
“Having worked with Joanna over a number of years and projects, I have valued her approach to creating winning teams. She takes the time to listen and understand what’s needed, is great at building relationships and enabling others to reflect. It’s never her solution, but the best solution for the situation and team she’s working with. That’s why I chose Joanna to support me recently, I was confident that her collaborative approach and creativity in designing an inclusive, appreciative team programme that enabled all to participate would be exactly what was needed.”
“Joanna’s coaching skills training was thought provoking, engaging, and well organised. She held an inclusive environment where everyone was able to contribute and participate, and the session was really interactive and provoked some great conversations among the participants. I have found the training has already had a positive impact on my work, and has allowed me to refine my practice and use my skills more consciously. Joanna is a skilled trainer and I highly recommend her training!”
“Working with Joanna always means bringing new dimensions to individual and team thinking. She is hugely insightful and her approach to coaching opens up new understanding and reflections that deliver change and impact. Joanna has the theoretical underpinning and the empathy to match.”
