Here's a few: 

Deanna Mills, "JoAnn's ability to help clients reconnect with and fine tune their greatness and immediately put it front and center is both quick and unmatched."

Alan Allard, "JoAnn is that rare coach, speaker and writer who understands both business and people. She is incredibly intelligent and equally pragmatic; she knows both the "what to do" and the "how to do it" when it comes to her craft."

Daniel Downs, "I was only able to have one coaching session with JoAnn...but what a profitable time it was. In one conversation JoAnn's expertise and extremely practical input gave me a solid foundation from which to launch my career search. Her approach and direction was truly a paradigmatic change that has simultaneously broadened yet focused my career search. I wasn't sure how much I would gain in one session but my expectations were far exceeded. I highly recommend JoAnn's expertise and helpful ideas to anyone needing direction, reinvention, or enthusiasm in their job search."

Our Mantra:  Minimize costly mistakes by borrowing our expertise, experience, and knowledge until you gain your own. 

Ask...> How much time and money is your leadership team's capacity worth?> What if you could expand or free up that capacity by quickly resolving or successfully addressing an issue? > How much would it be worth? > Have you ever calculated it for you and/or your team?> How much is untrained, underdeveloped managers costing?

Here's an example: Let's say an annual base compensation is $200,000, given 1,920 hours of work over the course of a year, that would translate into $104.17 / hr.  (For many of our clients, their compensation is much higher -- so translate the example accordingly. You'll notice the financial impact is much higher.)

Let's estimate 5 hours (1 hr a day) could be freed up and redeployed to more productive activities, what would be the improvement value?  The immediate financial impact for the first month - appx. $2,083.00 (20  hours) sustained for a year would be appx.  $25,000. ...if improvement accelerated and expanded...even higher.  With our hpt (human performance technology) approach, momentum can be gained, sustained and improvement expanded, so these are very conservative numbers.

When a leader changes there is usually a "ripple effect" with regards to others and operational improvements overall.

So let's do this example for your entire leadership team. What financial impact could there be? As an example, let's say you have 4 key leaders with a similar improvement percentage. That would 4 x 13% = 52% improvement value for your leadership team! Wow!! (And the interesting fact, with our expertise, it really doesn't take much to achieve this).

[Translated into dollars with annual earnings at $150,000 each - it would be around $19,500 x 4 = $78,000 + yours = total of $105,083.00. This is at a minimum. It doesn't reflect the leadership impact to stock price and other operational/revenue issues.] (See the article listed below -The Cost of Poor People Management)

See the value in quickly getting help? Calculating cost also calculates value. The value and tangible financial impact of key leadership improvement is typically very substantial.
As mentioned in the Core Focus section, there are a variety of needs business leaders have to which our expertise can be applied.  We serve as sounding boards, trusted advisors, coach and educator,  interventionist and strategist. 

Imagine if you were wrestling with a problem employee and conflicted about how to proceed...not knowing whether to fire them or hang on. Now imagine having someone to call -- someone with a discerning, educated ear -- someone that could help you quickly sort out the issue, so that you could move on -- freeing up your precious mental bandwidth/capacity.

Imagine wrestling with the best person to hire and you could quickly get help to confidently decide... feeling really good about the decision made.

We found the most popular area of need for business leaders is that of judgment- decision-making... they just slug it out on their own, when a simple phone call could make all the difference...saving time and money.

| IMPROVED DECISION-MAKING | "The greatest psychological need any human being has, is the need to be and feel heard."
Confidential Sounding Board - Trusted Advisor Here's an area that we've discovered is a significant need.   You know that phrase "It's lonely at the top"? Well, we've experienced for many senior leaders that phrase has proven to be true. Many leaders have difficulty finding a confidential, discerning and trusted resource to express thoughts and needs to gain clarity and maintain positive energy from which to function and make critical decisions – in essence to function at their best in the midst of a particular challenge or transition.

And so…many confide in fellow colleagues who may have a vested or competing interest, and therefore do not provide the independent, unbiased input they need. Or, they may work with other business advisors who do not have the specific expertise needed to adequately address the issue.

The bottom line?... to be and lead at their best, leaders need a safe place to talk, process, be real and brutally truthful, stripping away barriers and pretension -- removing any fear of judgment. They need to be able to lead with clarity, confidence and positive energy. They need someone who will speak truth to them operating for their highest good.
