I reached out to Josepha at a time when I was unhappy with my job and workplace, lacking the confidence to make a change.  Together we embarked on a journey that provided me with the strategies and assurance to take the necessary next steps.  She helped me build strategies in the areas we deemed within my control and resilience and boundaries for the bits that I couldn’t change.

 Josepha’s approach was compassionate yet direct. She is not afraid to ask tough questions and have a discussion to move forward.

It was through her encouragement and coaching that I decided to leave my job and land one that aligned much more closely with my values and interests.  I have new tools that I continue to use when I find myself struggling personally or professionally. I would strongly recommend Josepha to anyone who needs support with strategic planning and implementation or for those who could use some fine tuning and inspiration to meet their goals. She is a leader in every sense and… approachable, honest and passionate!

I had the great fortune to both work with Josepha and utilize her skills as a coach. She helped improve my strategic skills and lead me through a time when I was looking at changing careers and that proved very successful. The coaching sessions were very productive and she had a talent for guiding me towards my own revelations and making progress towards my goals. The greater impact of her coaching I have realized comes many years later, when I still reflect and appreciate all that I have achieved because of it. The many things I have learned from her have benefited me to this day, which is why I highly recommend her for all your strategic and coaching needs.

As an organizational change and development facilitator, now retired, I worked in collaboration with Josepha on many strategic initiatives over several years at The City of Calgary. It was always a pleasure to be part of a team led by Josepha, knowing that each of our participating views and skills would be welcomed to the challenge at hand, leading to thoughtful, synergistic and reliable outcomes.

What stands out for me is Josepha’s strengths-based approach to all of her organizational work. Not only is she cognizant of her own talents, but she also helps others around her become of aware of their own, drawing on these to contribute to excellence in carrying out roles in a wide range of work environments. As a leader, Josepha gets out of the way to let others shine and contribute, continuously growing talent, and building confident employees and strong teams.

As a mentor and coach, Josepha asks thoughtful questions, gently but firmly guiding individuals to recognize how they can resolve their own challenges, once again, focusing on their strengths. “Aha” moments are common in Josepha’s work, both in working with individuals and organizational groups, and are focused on fostering positive change.
