Through these services my goal is to help you to create the results you want for yourself and your organisation - results that matter.

I've been coaching clients for over 6 years now, and have found that many managers and professionals come to me for help in similar areas. If you're in a similar situation, you may be able to relate to the following:

• How do I hit the ground running in my new role/project?
• How can I get out of the cycle of repeatedly resolving conflicts and fighting fires?
• How can I improve my team's communication and commitment?
• Why does it feel like an uphill battle to implement even small changes within my team or organisation?
• Am I clear on the results I want for the next 6 months, 2 years, 5 years and beyond? Have I got a clear action plan that I am committed to and implementing?
• What about me ... how can I develop the non-technical skills that I now need to be able to lead effectively?

If that sounds all too familiar to you, please rest assured that you've come to the right place!

Catalyst's purpose is to create results that really matter to clients.

I am passionate about helping business people achieve their potential, so when clients asked about e-learning I decided to develop this website and therefore increase the number of people I could help.  There are links to articles, online tests, e-books and e-courses. I hope you find here what you need to help you achieve your potential. 

If you'd like to know my background, I'm an accomplished and experienced coach, facilitator and project manager. I have a wealth of experience as a management consultant within the corporate sector in the UK and New Zealand.

Based in Harrogate in the North of England, I provide professional coaching and project consultancy services to managers, senior managers, executives and high performing teams throughout the UK and Europe.

If you choose to be coached by me, you will get unparalleled development from our time together. Your performance will improve, your motivation will increase and your career progression will accelerate.  you'll overcome the obstacles that have been holding you back, and you really will be delighted with the results.

Instead of getting stuck in that fire-fighting trap that can creep up on all of us, our coaching work together will ensure you stay proactive.  You will have the space to make clear, well thought-through decisions. You will deliver, and probably exceed, the targets set for you by your organisation.

Your clarity on goals and values will fire up your motivation so that you perform at your best, and the management development work that we do will ensure you get the very best from your team as well. 

Together we'll create tangible results that matter to both you and your organisation.

I am an executive coach with professional experience in a range of sectors. I enjoy helping clients create a greater impact, to perform at their best and get the rewards that go with that. It delights me to know that as well as one-to-one coaching, I can also help busy managers with my e-learning products.

In a recent interview Joanne said:

"What drew me into coaching was, and still is, a great desire to assist people in achieving their potential. There's a simple equation that I love and that is the nub of coaching:

Performance = Potential - Interference"

She continued:

"...skilled, focused coaching helps remove interference that prevents people from achieving their greatest potential. Interference could be from limiting beliefs, poor communication skills, lack of clarity over values and goals (individual and/or organisational), fear, lack of understanding of organisational culture, lack of confidence and many more. Freeing people from these factors that hold them back enables them to perform at their peak; then they can achieve the success, growth and business results that they desire.

This is what drives me to coach managers, executives and project managers - to create a step change in performance that impacts all areas of their personal and professional success. It creates results that matter and I'm honoured to play a part in that."
 

Joanne coaches clients on a broad spectrum of issues from interpersonal skills, confidence, team development and communication skills. She has a particular strength in change management from her background in project management.

As a coach Joanne asks challenging questions of her clients and is intensely focussed on results. Feedback from clients is that she is incredibly positive, encouraging and insightful. 'Life-changing' commented a senior manager in the commercial radio industry.
