Life Coach and Sports Coach
Location Chatswood, Sydney
Joanne holds an Applied Science degree in Computer Science. In recent years she has specialised in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and the programming of people to create success in their lives.
She specialises in NLP for sport and is qualified as both an NLP Practitioner, and a level 2 Sportsmind trainer. She is currently studying to become an NLP Master Practitioner with Inspiritive. Her company, Kaizen Coaching, provides individual mental and emotional coaching; success and lifestyle coaching and immediate behavioural change. She says "The cornerstone of my coaching [with Inspiritive and Kaizen] is the Kaizen Philosophy - one of continual improvement. This applies to my clients, that they should be moving towards their goals, and to myself as a coach and practitioner to always be studying and learning new ways to draw out the best from my clients".
"I have extended the NLP for Sport metaphor to one of fitness - being the capability to do what you want. I encourage my clients to strive for what I call 'Mind, Body and Life Fitness'. To me this means balance in all areas of their lives. The focus of mind fitness is using the NLP technologies to improve aspects of your life such as career or relationships. Body fitness aims to increase your energy levels through improved diet, exercise, self care and self image. Life fitness supports Mind and Body fitness with practical tools including time management."
Joanne 'walks the talk' by applying the Mind, Body and Life Fitness and Kaizen concepts in both her professional and personal life. She runs a successful small business, consulting to SPORTSMIND and WorldGames. She competes at State and National level in Kendo and Naginata and has even recently been filmed as a sword fighting Jedi for Star Wars. Other adventures in the name of charity fundraising have included abseiling 36 floors down the Regent hotel and a 404 km kayaking marathon.
As a coach, you will find her to be intuitive, creative, experienced, helpful, humourous, challenging, logical and successful in creating the outcome that you want.
