Leadership Coaching offers emotional, practical support in times of change & transition

What is Executive Coaching?

Executive coaching supports you in times of change or transition, accounting for the interplay across all areas of life. I offer executive and leadership coaching for entrepreneurs, managers and leaders on an individual basis and in group/team settings.

The emotional and practical support that executive coaching provides is particularly useful in times of change or transitions, so you can thrive as a leader, overcome leadership challenges, improve performance and accelerate leadership development. We work together to meet your objectives in balance with other parts of your live and your whole self.

Executive coaching is suitable for any stage in your career. Whether you’re looking to improve performance, develop new skills, start or scale your business, identify your strengths or overcoming any derailing tendencies, it’s best to book a free no-obligation call with me, where we can discuss your needs and I can talk you through my approach.

Joanne Cook Executive Coach and Life Coach Accreditation 3 Badges

“I remember the first time I heard Joanne speak at a leadership conference in 2018, I was immediately impressed by the clarity and focus that she brought and how she was able to inspire a group of store managers to begin their own leadership journeys.

In early 2021 I had the opportunity to work with Joanne in an informal coaching relationship. 

At the time I was at a career crossroads and was struggling to understand my own future and how I contributed to the longer-term success of The Co-op. It didn’t take Joanne long to understand where I was and help to bring that clarity and focus to my own situation.

She was supportive, challenging and quick to build rapport, which meant that I was comfortable in speaking openly with Joanne enabling me to dig deeper into the underlying reasons for how I felt.

Very quickly she enabled me to see things that I hadn’t been able to for looking too hard. She was able to surface within me the courage and confidence to try new things and to recognise the value that I brought.

I thoroughly enjoyed the time that we had together and would absolutely recommend her. Joanne is an incredible coach and a delightful person.”

What my clients say

“Joanne is an extraordinary coach, I’m completely blown away. I found her approach really refreshing; her razor-sharp wit, free from judgement caring nature and incredible humour instantly puts you at ease. Joanne has guided me through discovering my values and uncovering the self-limiting beliefs that once stood in my way.”

Joanne has been my coach for the past 2 years months and I can honestly say the whole experience has been both an enjoyable journey and a revelation!

Whilst I felt I had a good grasp and understanding of myself and what made me tick, I was at a crossroads in terms of my career and personal growth.  What initially started as work related coaching has evolved gradually from being inward facing in terms of myself and my next potential career move, rapidly blossoming into unearthing a deep inner passion, entrepreneurial spirit, and untapped creativity beyond the realms of my current job.  This insight led to a seed of an idea for interior design developing into a tangible viable business model with room to grow and evolve at my own pace so I can maintain a balance.

In a matter of weeks, I was able to turn this idea into tangible action and outcomes.  Joanne has been instrumental in helping me realise my potential, she has been a huge motivator whilst providing a balance of challenge and support to help me stress test my thinking to unlock my passion and creative flair, as well as helping me realise that anything is possible, and the only limitations are those I put on myself.  I am now even more focussed and living a more enriched life than ever’
