A friend once said to me: “I always wear matching underwear.” How ridiculous I thought. Who has the time and energy (not to mention money!) to actually manage this in real life? Yes, I have a couple of matching sets, but let’s be honest, they were rarely matching on me.
My closets were full of clothes, yet hardly anything fitted me properly and I used my bedroom as storage.
I was…
It’s Friday morning and you check your diary for the day, only to realise that you’ve been invited to an important meeting with your boss at 3pm. Who in their right mind organises a meeting at 3pm on a Friday? That’s just bad form you think and off you go to make your morning coffee and maybe have the biscuit that Mother brought in.
You get on with your day….
You look at the pile of clothes in your spare bedroom and despair. This is not what you’d ideally like to be doing on a Saturday afternoon but then it has to get done… Today IS the day when you will tackle it.
But first – a cup of tea because everything starts with replenishing your energy.
You think to yourself how could I make this fun? I know I have…
“Morning everyone, I made some cookies last night, I’ll leave them by the kettle, please come and help yourself” she says coming into the office.
She makes sure people take their breaks and is usually the one who does the coffee rounds for everyone in the office. She has never fired anyone in her life, because she always gives people the benefit of the doubt. ‘They will do better next…
You’re getting ready to meet your team. You know there has been a lot of unease going on recently – people have been complaining about how much is going on, and how Betty just doesn’t pull her weight. Sue shared in her one-to-one with you that she doesn’t even know why they’re doing this project, it seems pointless and she doesn’t know how much longer she can even stay…
Last week I shared with you that perhaps we need new role models and that the power that it took for us to get where we are today is not going to sustain us, let alone take us any further.
As promised over the next few weeks, I will be introducing you to the 5 Women PowerTypes™ but first I need to take a minute to…
I’ve been raised without strong feminine role models. I was a proud tomb boy and valued friendships with boys. I used to think that I don’t need women in my life because they just gossip, stab you in the back and they cant be trusted. I even used to think that I only want to work for men, because they are way better leaders and bosses. Oh how little…
My client Kate called in for the first session.
So, Joanna, she said, I just really want to know what is the right way to eat. Just tell me what and when and I will be good to go.
This is not an unusual request. With so much conflicting nutritional information out there it is easy to get lost and confused.
Unfortunately I had to disappoint Kate, as there is no one…
Ever since I was little I was a little different. I liked to play alone, I liked to help around the house, and even then I didn’t have a sweet tooth:)
Ever since I was little I had an old soul, I think. I wanted to find my purpose in life. I questioned career advice given to me at school.
I had never been drawn to any of the traditional jobs…
I look forward to connecting with you. Please contact me if you have any questions or would like to schedule a free strategy session
