MY APPROACH TO CORPORATE CONSULTING
You need someone to walk beside you, providing professional support and guidance
I make sure you have what you need to support your board and lead your team
A strategy is one of the most powerful tools a leadership team can develop to achieve alignment, performance and results. But not all strategies are created equally - and the path to get there is often as important to organizational culture as the actual plan itself.
Through comprehensive support customized for you, I help you go from where you are now (with ideas, but no real clarity to support decision-making) to a place where your organization is fully aligned and empowered to deliver results.
Our core service offerings include:
- Strategic and annual business planning
- Stakeholder engagement
- Organizational culture assessment and planning
- Meeting facilitation
- Workshop development and facilitation
- Process improvement (Lean Facilitation and Human Centred Design)
- Government relations and Board advisory support

NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Joanne Zuk
As a business strategist and consultant, I love working with CEOs, boards, and leadership teams that want to have a positive impact in our community. With over 20 years of facilitation experience and training in multiple innovation methodologies, I help teams navigate their most complex challenges, where the path forward isn't always clear.
Because I spent the last 5 years of my corporate career working in the Cabinet office of the Manitoba government, I have a strong understanding of power, politics, and how to move sticky issues forward. As a result, I often work with organizations that have a complicated relationship with governments.
To deliver the results you are looking for, I tap into an extensive network of smart and trusted consultants across Canada, with whom I regularly partner. Together, we are able to take on large and small projects, based on the unique needs of each of our clients.

Let's TalkOUR COMMITMENT
Reconciliation
As settlers who live and work in Treaty One territory and often work in communities that span the territories of Treaties One through Eleven and unceded territories across the lands of Canada, we are deeply aware of our own responsibilities to listen to Truth and walk a path of Reconciliation that begins with re-education of ourselves. We have been gifted many teachings through generous interactions with Elders, Knowledge Keepers, and Community members who have helped us better understand our place in history and our roles in walking a respectful path alongside Indigenous Peoples. While we continue to learn about our shameful shared history, we are inspired to continue learning from those who hold our histories – and are committed to carrying the lessons of those stories forward to ensure we live, work, and support our clients in a good way.
