Testimonial

Client Feedback

JoAnne did a fantastic presentation. Her presentation was completely in line with our goals, and she objectively shared her expertise, knowledge and recommendations in a professional manner. I also received positive feedback from participants about her presentation during the lunch gathering after.
I shared how expertly she navigated my pushback in front of staff. The current landscape in education has been one of great angst for Educators. I recommended her presentation and shared her contact information with colleagues.

JoAnne is an INSPIRATIONAL speaker! I’ve heard her speak in a few different forums. Her keynote speech at the Bridgewater State University HerStory event not only made me feel like I was enough, she made me feel like I was more.
JoAnne’s interactive style engages and captivates her audience, personally moving them and taking these women to places in the heart that are uniquely personal. She makes you feel like you are the only person in the room. Her words resonate. She has a real way of making you feel seen, heard, worthy, and appreciated.

Mindset Matters: From Surviving to Thriving in the Workplace was a perfect option for our educators on their professional development day this fall. It’s no secret that teachers are working harder than ever, yet many are feeling discouraged and ineffective. Through her interactive workshop, JoAnne inspired teachers to shift their perspective and reconnect with their ‘why.’ Every educator in attendance agreed that the presentation content was just what they needed, and that it would directly impact their work with students.

These are the participants comments from your professional development presentation “Mindset Matters from surviving to thriving” The speaker was so easy going and relatable. She made you feel comfortable and unjudged. She demonstrated a common understanding of the stressors educators experience and presented strategies to help. I have gained valuable information that will inform my work and responsibilities and I would strongly recommend this presenter to other schools and districts.
