NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Joanne

I've always been someone who could see the constellations in the stars. By that, I mean I see the whole picture, but also what's missing. It's an odd skill that is difficult to explain. 

It's this skill that is the foundation of my ability to help you. Whether I'm working with a CEO to develop an ambitious strategic plan or speaking to a theatre full of women at a conference, I shine light and help you see a path that was once obscured by darkness.

MY COMMITMENT

Truth and Reconciliation


As a settler who lives and works in Treaty One territory and often works in communities that span the territories of Treaties One through Eleven and unceded territories across the lands of Canada, I am deeply aware of my responsibilities to listen to Truth and walk a path of Reconciliation that begins with re-education of myself. I have been gifted many teachings through generous interactions with Elders, Knowledge Keepers, and Community members who have helped me better understand my place in history and my role in walking a respectful path alongside Indigenous Peoples. While I continue to learn about the shameful history of Canada, I am also working to reconcile my own family's participation in fostering children stolen from their families during the 60s scoop era. I am grateful for opportunities to build reciprocal relationships, am inspired to continue learning from those who hold our histories, and am committed to carrying the lessons of those stories forward to ensure I live, work, and support my clients in a good way.
