Emerge Coaching Program
It’s Time to Thrive!

Are you ready to Emerge from…
“My confidence has been rattled by some critical self-talk and bad habits. I need help to get my life back on track to make real, meaningful change.”
“I’ve spent 20 years in the same business and now I want to spend the next 20 years doing something more meaningful. How do I make the transition?”
“I’m leaving corporate America and setting up my passion business! I’m overwhelmed and need help figuring it all out!”
“I don’t find joy in my work anymore. How do I reinvent myself to find more meaning?”
“I know what I want my life to look like, but I have no idea how to get there. I’m stuck and need help to move forward.”

Joan helped me meet my true self!
Through our work together, I learned how to embrace, trust and celebrate my gifts and to silence the bullshit story I had been telling myself most of my life.
Joan was my sister, my friend and my drill sergeant. She held up a mirror and made me do the necessary work.
I will always be grateful our paths crossed!
I heartily recommend Joan as a co-pilot for anyone looking to reset old patterns and thought processes to chart a new course in life.
Many thanks, Joan!

Joan’s Emerge Coaching Program is life-changing!
I contacted Joan after doing some soul searching about generational habits and how to kick some of those bad habits while preserving tradition to become a leader for my family.
She helped me recognize the values that define me and discover the tools that will refine me far into the future.
I discovered the importance of self-care while still maintaining the leadership roles that are important to me.
I found that changing my thinking empowered me personally and professionally to move me toward my inspired life.
I will be forever grateful that her program helped me discover my best self and the tools to become the type of leader that I strive to be personally and professionally.

Why work with Me?
I get results.
I have a proven track record. For 25 years, I’ve coached entrepreneurs to develop the mindset, create the structures, learn the skills and up-level their tools to design a life and business that exceeds their expectations.
Diverse Experience
I am a personal development coach, a business attorney, a serial entrepreneur, an artist, a student of life, a dream chaser (and catcher), a believer in big, hairy audacious goals and a legend maker.
Extensive Training
I’ve invested countless hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars in training and education over several decades to learn cutting edge processes and continually evolving resources. Each coaching program was thoughtfully designed to comprehensively package a lifetime of learning to help you create breakthrough results.
Supportive Environment
I create a safe, nourishing, judgment-free environment to give you full permission and safety to show up and be real (and messy). I provide compassionate yet no BS support that gives you permission to be honest, vulnerable and, did I mention, messy.
I know the pain, overwhelm and soul-crushing loss from navigating a divorce. The days when numbness consumes your body and the only thing you want to do is pull the covers over your head and hide. When you find yourself behind locked doors wracked in pain, unable to face the world and desperately wondering if you will ever feel joy again. (You will.)
I’ve dared to leave my safe, lucrative dream job to launch my own business and face the uncertainty, the unknown, the fear and crazy lifestyle of an entrepreneur. (After 25 years, I’ve never looked back.)
I’ve picked up and moved my life across the country, multiple times, to follow my inner guidance and live life by my adventurous standards pursuing my unique dreams. (I highly recommend following your unique path!)
I’ve massively transformed my business over the years to follow my purpose and passion. From
-
- putting myself through law school,
- to working at a law firm,
- to leading the legal department of a corporation,
- to setting up my own law firm,
- to becoming an artist,
- to becoming an intentional creativity teacher,
- to having an art studio on the Napa River,
- to leading retreats and experiences,
- to becoming a transformative personal development coach combining my wisdom with my skills, gifts & passions. (And I’m only just getting started!)
As a result of my life experiences, I’ve created powerful, results-driven coaching programs to help you create the life YOU love!

WARNING:
These coaching programs are not for everyone.
I want to be very clear who these coaching programs are specifically designed to serve.
These programs require commitment and dedicated time to yourself and your vision of life.
There is no flying by the seat of your pants or showing up unprepared.
This is a true investment in yourself and what you can create with your life.
You can’t create shortcuts for the most important process of your life.
THESE COACHING PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED FOR WHOLEHEARTED INDIVIDUALS WHO:
♥ Are trying to navigate big change in their life or business.
♥ Want to stop doing what they think they HAVE to do and start doing what they LOVE to do.

♥ Are facing hard truths or feel stuck in life and have no idea how to deal with it.
♥ Want to change the negative inner dialogue that’s holding them back and create an empowered mindset to accelerate their growth.

THESE PROGRAMS ARE NOT for people who want a quick fix or buy a program with great intention but with no commitment.
They are also not for you if …
- You are not willing to be coached, receive direction or act on the guidance.
- You blow off assignments if they are inconvenient
- You are not 100% committed to being honest with yourself, taking a real look at your life (the good, the bad and the ugly) and taking radical responsibility for your life.
- You are not willing to invest in yourself or see the value of making yourself a priority to honor your vision, your purpose and the impact only you can make.
Have some questions?
How is coaching different from consulting or business advising?
The traditional consulting or business advising roles are designed to tell the client what to do based on a set of facts and desired goals. Coaching is defined by the International Coach Federation as:
“Professional Coaching is partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. Coaches are trained to listen, to observe and to customize their approach to the individual client’s needs and relates to the client as the expert in his/her life and work.
The coach’s responsibility is to:
- Discover, clarify, and align with what the client wants to achieve;
- Encourage client self-discovery;
- Elicit client-generated solutions and strategies; and
- Hold the client responsible and accountable.
A coach seeks to elicit solutions and strategies from the client and believes that every client is creative, resourceful, and whole.”

Why do successful people hire a Personal Development Coach?
Successful people recognize they need to bring people into their lives who have the skills they don’t yet have but want to develop. They value coaches, mentors and advisors who can help them get from where they are to where they want to go. They know they need a trained professional to help them determine the best direction, hold them accountable and to provide objective support and feedback. They also recognize that a coach can help them achieve their goals more quickly than doing it on their own.
Do you accept payment plans?
Yes. Plans are available to pay over the coaching term depending on the program you select. We can discuss the terms during the initial Discovery Call.
What is a Personal Development Coach?
The role of the personal development coach is to expertly guide clients to get clear on their goals, dreams, priorities and vision. A personal development coach helps people achieve defined goals, overcome obstacles, create an empowered mindset, overcome limiting beliefs, become self-aware and learn how to take radical responsibility for their lives.
Personal development coaches thrive on helping clients unleash their potential and teach them tools to go after what they want in life and achieve it.

Can’t I reach my dreams, goals and vision on my own? Why do I need a coach?
The reality is that you cannot create a new desired outcome by doing the same things you’ve always done – you have to learn to do things that you’ve never done to get results you’ve never (yet) obtained. If your current life does not support your desired vision of your life, or you haven’t yet figured out your vision, then change, and the willingness to get uncomfortable as you navigate it, are necessary components leading to success. This kind of change generally requires seasoned guidance to help you navigate the fear and discomfort of letting go of what is to embrace all that can be. A coach can remove the mystery and help you achieve your desired outcome.
Where does the coaching take place?
Coaching is provided over the phone or Zoom, which allows you to conveniently schedule and meet from the comfort of your home or office. I strongly recommend you take each call in a distraction free location where you can soulfully and solely focus on our conversation and get the most out of our time together.
How long is each coaching call?
The initial coaching call is 2 hours during which time we comprehensively review a life assessment that you will complete in advance of the call. Each subsequent coaching call will be 60 minutes.
