Leadership Coaching
Leadership Development
Happy, Healthy and Successful Leaders and Teams

Cultivating and nurturing the leadership capacities that make you successful in work and life.
In my research at Harvard* I found that the highest performing leaders balance paying attention to the views and needs of others, with knowing when to make difficult decisions independently.
**(Bragar, Joan . “Effective Leadership Practices for Managers: Balancing Interdependence and Autonomy .” Doctoral dissertation, Harvard University Graduate School of Education, 1990)
What is the cost of not effectively exercising leadership?
Poor alignment, ineffective collaboration, and reduced morale – all contributing to suboptimal results.
Up-level your leadership
Are you an executive, professional or entrepreneur who cares about making a difference in the world?
Is there something you want to accomplish that requires others around you to be inspired and motivated?
— But you haven’t yet cracked the code on how to do this?
My clients are high performers who have made a difference in more than twenty countries around the world, achieving the results they aspire to.
Executives and business leaders benefit from my depth of knowledge about leadership and my breath of experience working in organizations across sectors around the world.
Working with me is like being in a customized leadership course.
I am a truth teller in key moments in your life – when you need support from someone who will hold you to your intentions.
I am a committed listener as you learn how to align others to implement the actions to achieve critical outcomes.

Joan’s Approach
It was always about relationships – in leadership and in life
It was always about relationships…
I have been pondering how to explain my new emphasis on Relational Coaching and its link to to my Leadership work.
I think I’ve found a way…
Women and Leadership – a Talk with Harvard Women
In November I gave a talk at Harvard on “Women and Leadership –Current Challenges and Paths Forward” for the Alumnae/-i Network for Harvard Women (ANHW).
We held a spirited conversation that included recent graduates of Harvard College, women who were students at Radcliffe in the 60’s and 70’s, and alumnae of the Harvard graduate schools.
Innovation plus Collaboration – learning that leads to results
The key to good coaching is understanding how people learn, and knowing how to support their learning in a challenging and supportive way.
Learning in this way with others is fundamental to achieving results.
Imagination plus Collaboration are the unique human capabilities that allow us to learn together.
