Joanne Shank, MEd
Professional Life Coach
I am a highly qualified professional with a diverse academic background. I hold degrees in education, psychology, and economics. My commitment to educational excellence led me to pursue a master’s in educational leadership, which empowered me with the skills to drive positive change in myself and others. With over thirty years of hands-on experience, I have supported individuals in their learning and growth both academically and professionally.
As an Erickson International accredited coach, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise in coaching, enhancing my ability to guide individuals towards their full potential. I draw inspiration from the principles of positive psychology, focusing on my client’s strengths, values, and the pursuit of a meaningful life. Through a positive and forward-looking perspective, I help women navigate challenges, build resilience, and cultivate a mindset that propels them towards success.
