Testimonials
From the CEO (after our first three monthly one-on-one meetings):
Johanne has provided a mirror into myself, helping me to step back and view my actions and true feelings. By her perceptive and insightful questioning, she enabled me to look within. Just being able to speak openly about myself was most helpful. Without question this awareness is leading to positive change both personally and professionally. I find myself a more effective participant with my direct reports, peers and my board.
From the referring Entrepreneur/CEO:
I sense the change in the CEO. It is wonderful to see him more at ease and reflective, and more present. I think that you have had a strong impact on him and expect that this will continue. I am confident that it will have positive ripple effects on his team and the organization.
