I have developed a powerful process called the Soulful Coaching for Creative Leaders Success System that will help you align with your passion, balance your life, and move forward with your BIG project confidently and joyfully:
1: Connect with Your Body and Listen for Wisdom
My approach to coaching and to life centers on a deep respect for the inner wisdom that each woman holds inside of herself. In our sessions, we listen for the important information about your BIG project and your life that you have stored inside.
In our process, we listen deeply for your priorities, values, and needs, and begin to envision your life and work based on those factors. By focusing on your inner wisdom, you will also learn incredible decision-making and confidence skills, as well as gain freedom to be exactly who you want to be.
2: Get Inspired and Think BIG
Often times, we forget how to be inspired, excited and on fire for life. From this place, it is challenging to find the energy to envision and follow through on our goals and projects.
The Soulful Coaching for Creative Leaders Success System places considerable emphasis on living your life from a place of inspiration so that you always have a renewed source of energy to accomplish your big dreams. We will explore the obstacles in your way and then activate your passion, creativity and inspiration.
Then, we get to look at the bigger picture of your life and think BIG! Together, we will get really clear on your talents, gifts and interests so that we can create goals for your career and life that excite you. We will get very clear on the vision, mission, and scope of your big project; we will also make sure that you set goals that come from your heart, not goals that you think you "should" achieve, "have to" achieve, or are expected to achieve.
3: Design a Blueprint for Your Bigger Visions...and Get Organized!
A well-planned strategy is key to your success. Whether it is career transition, a marketing plan, a new diet or having a tough conversation with a loved one, a thought out strategy with clear action steps and intentions will joyfully and ease-fully get you to your goal. Using your inner wisdom, we create action plans, timelines, and specific action steps to help you achieve everything you want. We will also work towards creating sustainable and efficient systems for your work and life including budgeting, weekly and monthly to-do lists, organizing your office and home, and much more.
As your coach, I provide support and guidance not only during our sessions, but in between to help keep you on track and be your cheerleader. We translate bigger goals into weekly action steps that are manageable and ensure your success.
4: Cultivate Your Leadership Skills
Whether leadership is brand new to you or you've settled into it, it is vital to consistently build upon your natural leadership abilities. In our work together, we will identify areas for growth and effectively improve your ability to direct your project or business with grace, joy, and success.
Possible leadership aspects that we explore include: communication skills, how to delegate so you can create more time and empower those you work with, unlocking your creativity for effective brainstorming, public speaking skills, writing skills, time management, seeing the big picture instead of getting lost in the details, making tough decisions, and discovering your own natural rhythms for efficiency.
5: Eliminate Distractions and Conquer Fears
A major component to being successful at your big project and in your life is about naming the distractions and obstacles that keep you from getting what you want. So often, while we long to be big and be seen, we also secretly sabatoge ourselves out of fear. Together, through the Soulful Coaching for Creative Leaders Success System, we will address any and all blocks standing in your way of your SUCCESS and HAPPINESS.
These distractions/obstacles might include: fear of failure, fear of success, overeating, working too hard, spending too much time on the computer or watching TV, relationships that no longer serve you, persistent habits, self-criticism and judgement, lack of self-confidence, fear of surpassing a parent, believing that you are unworthy, guilt about being successful or happy, unhealthy relationship to money...and many more.
We will go deep and explore the origins of these obstacles, and more importantly—the purpose they serve in your life. Then, we go straight to work at learning how to let them go so that they no longer stand in the way of what you really want for yourself.
6: Develop Your Unique Style
I've noticed that often we look towards others not only for what our dreams and goals should be, but also for how we should act and experience them. Aren't you just sick of that?!?
In our time together, we will identify your unique personality and leadership style, and work towards strengthening them. As you gain confidence in your unique style you can approach all aspects of your life with ownership and belief in your own interests, skills, and points-of-view.
7: Balance Your Time (and...Make Time for Self-Care!)
There are two common obstacles for nearly every woman who is creative, motivated and busy: not knowing how to manage time and not taking good enough care of herself. As you move forward with your compelling goals, it is important that you learn how to make your schedule work for you and how to balance all of the important projects, relationships, and entities in your life. It is only by taking control of your time that you can succeed with ease, energy, and joy.
During your transformational coaching process, I will challenge you to let go of the things in your life that are not true priorities and that are draining your time. This means learning when it's appropriate to say "Yes!" and when it's appropriate to say "No". It is amazing to see how our lives just open up once we are able to let go of the projects, relationships, and ideas that are taking up space in our lives without serving us.
Managing time is essential in creating energy for yourself and your life, in reducing stress, and in making good decisions from your soul. Too often we find ourselves tired and drained. In that spirit, together we also look at your self-care tactics so that you take the very best care of yourself, your body, your finances, and your soul. This can include diet, nutrition, exercise, sleep patterns, meditation techniques, getting massages, balancing your checkbook, quitting smoking, creating a practice of self-reflection, and much more.
8: Celebrate Yourself
My personal favorite part of the process! Once you begin Soulful Coaching for Busy Women, you will see and chart your progress...and be amazed by it. The transformation in your life will be palpable. However, I have noticed that as women, so often we do not acknowledge our accomplishments and celebrate everything we are and have done. Celebrating our successes is what keeps us motivated and interested. Plus, it makes life juicier!
Through our time together, you will learn how to really appreciate yourself and all that you do. The more you learn to honor and celebrate your achievements and yourself, the more you will be inspired to set new and juicier goals for yourself.
You may use the coaching sessions in any way that serves you best. Each program is customized for applicant's needs based on past history, experience, current goals and other factors. Joanna will customize a program that will best meet your needs in an ongoing co-creative partnership with you. All private programs are intentionally designed to be at least six months. This is because lasting transformation takes dedication and time to integrate your new knowledge into action in the outer world.
By making a commitment to yourself for at least four months, you will experience profound shifts around long-held core beliefs. Most clients choose to continue the coaching process beyond the initial four months in order to continue to create and achieve inspiring, exciting goals for themselves.
I coach with innovative, motivated and creative women who want to create a life and career that is truly in tune with their deepest desires. They want to be BIG. You are involved or long to be involved in businesses, careers, the arts, not-for-profits, volunteer organizations and various projects and movements that are helping bring about deep healing and change in your families, communities and the world. I call this your "BIG Project". My clients are ready to step more deeply and fully into their roles as leaders so that they can function at their most authentic level for personal happiness as well as global change. You know that you can benefit from outside support and someone to help hold you accountable to your dreams and goals.
These amazing women I work with want more out of life, and are committed to their personal, professional, and spiritual growth. You want to feel fulfilled, passionate and successful in your worldly endeavors as well as your personal life. More than just a life coach or business coach, I believe deeply that a woman working on her heart's desire out in the world must also always be connected to and in right relationship with her personal life. Her personal life informs her professional life, and visa versa. Therefore, the leaders I coach also seek to amp up various aspects of their personal lives including work-life balance, self-care, parenthood, financial freedom, travel, home environment, health, family life and romantic relationships.
I coach with artists, entrepreneurs, mothers, lawyers, yoga instructors, CEOs, daughters, acupuncturists, HR professionals, politicians, writers, Presidents of the Board, performers, curators, innovators, atheletes, members of the PTA, philanthropists, doctors, therapists, travelers, coaches, and retirees. If you recognize the benefit of outside help in order to amp up your life, take big leaps forward, achieve success, make more money and help transform your part of the world, then Soulful Coaching is what you're looking for!
As a result of our time together, the women I coach, achieve their juiciest goals—even ones they never thought possible! They increase their productivity through transformational coaching and learn to successfully balance their time with work, play, and nourishing self-care. You will learn how to listen to your inner wisdom and your hearts in order to make decisions that will bring joy, meaning, satisfaction and huge success to your life.
