You're exactly what I was looking for.'Grace McDonald

'Joanna is a brilliant coach. She assisted me with my move from being a new senior manager to a confident leader and member of the executive team within the Corporation.

I use the information and skills she taught me every day for work and for my personal life. I highly recommend Joanna for all areas of coaching.'Lisa Hresc, Senior Marketing Executive

'hank you for the creative thinking workshop for our advanced rural leadership program, TRAILblazers. I have to tell you that your session was one of the 'must keep' sessions for the group - they used a lot of the techniques in their mastermind session on the last day of the program- and it worked beautifully. I have heard that many of them have even incorporated some of the techniques with their colleagues upon their return to work. I am definitely booking you in again for the next program! Thanks again.'Zoe Routh, Manager - Network and Short Courses, Australian Rural Leadership Foundation

'Work life balance sometimes seems a term that is quite hard to define, but Kate prompted lots of thought-starters for me. One thing I found vital - recognition that the balance can and does change frequently, depending on issues that are happening in either my work or private life. I hadn't truly realised that before now.'Executive Assistant to GM Human Resources & Corporate Affairs, Powercor/CitiPower

'Joanna is a great 'nemesis' - she got me moving on issues that I'd thought about but hadn't acted on for ages. The best thing was the power to think outside the square, look for the positive and creative for myself. Don't let life pass you by. Don't think it's too late to start. Talk to Joanna, one of the most inspiring people I've met.'Andrew Cochineas
'Working with Joanna is fun - she has a great sense of humour! She is also extremely creative, and able to work with me in a way that facilitates and encourages my creativity. Together we have been designing structures within which I have been able to be really creative and no longer waste a lot of energy by not being connected to my life direction.'MR
'The joy of Joanna's creative thinking keynote is that it does exactly what it says on the tin - it gets everyone in attendance thinking creatively! Joanna's enthusiastic, knowledgeable delivery couples with fun interactive elements to really get her audience buzzing with ideas. The practical advice for breaking through mental blocks and approaching work, and life, from a different angle meant that I came away from the afternoon with a step-by-step guide for thinking outside of the box. A thoroughly enjoyable session from a great presenter.'Oliver Kitchingman, Editor, Australian Fitness Network
'I attended your session at Flying Solo yesterday. I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your presentation.

So thank you!'Alison Evans, Alison Evans Consulting

'I started my e-learning consultancy last July after many years of working in adult education generally and the community/not-for-profit sector specifically. I realised that I needed help to plan/design/organise/manage/understand my business - and that's where Joanna came in. I didn't know what I needed to know and Joanna offered me a simple framework which helped to start the thinking I needed to do. Joanna's approach is calm and flexible. She is warm and friendly, professional and knowledgeable. I would recommend her without hesitation and fully intend to avail of her services in the future.'Ann Brady, Learning Lines
