Style
Joan is an enabler, identifying the blocks to success then guiding clients through the processes they need to engage with in order to get what they want. Her approach is inspirational and fun, combining hard pragmatism with the soft skills of positive psychology, energy work and NLP. She uniquely combines the psychology of communication with non-verbal, behavioural skills and energy work in her communication, presentation and negotiation skills training. Joan recognises that we’re all unique, and her flexibility ensures every client’s needs are met.
Consultancy
Joan offers consultancy to companies seeking to improve performance or in need of help with communication issues.
She is a certified LAB Profile consultant and trainer. Language and Behaviour profiling is a powerful tool to create targeted communication that hits the mark. It’s used in advertising, marketing, corporate communication, political speech writing, team building and recruitment, to name a few.
She is a co-founder of Meggitt Bird which aims to help create healthy companies on all levels through a number of cutting-edge techniques, including Value Networks Analysis. (see MeggittBird)
Joan is also certified in Success Factor Modelling, having trained with leading developer of NLP, Robert Dilts, in what he describes as organisational NLP.
SFM has its origins in the innovative business models, practices and organisational structures that led to unprecedented growth and prosperity in California’s Silicon Valley in recent years.
Executive Coaching
Joan is a Certified Prosperity Guide, helping people overcome what keeps them from getting whatever they want, wither at work or in their private life. She uses a number of disciplines including NLP, energy work and positive psychology. She also coaches people in resolving issues connected with communication at work and elsewhere.
Her coaching has helped people overcome interview anxiety and win jobs, work more effectively and make more of an impact, as well as improve their leadership and influencing skills, improve interpersonal relationships and manage teams.
Joan also coaches media professionals both on and off screen.

Communication strategy

Training
More than 30 years experience in national and international print and broadcast media as a journalist, writer, TV producer and presenter.
NLP master practitioner, certificate in Group Dynamics and non-verbal communication from Michael Grinder.
Joan has created a unique formula for charismatic communication which combines language, non-verbals and energy work. She offers this training in a 12-day, 6 month programme, but can also tailor shorter courses for business clients.
She also offers:
Personal effectiveness training;
Media Training which combines the above with practical training in dealing with the media;
Presentation training which again combines Joan’s approach to charismatic communication with practical training in how to deliver compelling presentations, whether in the areas of after dinner speaking, addressing company staff or persuading protential investors.
NLP
Joan qualified as a LAB (Language and Behaviour)Profile trainer and consultant with Shelle Rose Charvet in Canada. The LAB profile is a powerful tool in business, but Joan fins it’s also an invaluable aid in coaching and training.
She is an NLP Master Practitioner and trained with Ian McDermott at ITS, as well as with Suzie Smith and Robert Dilts. She also learned and was certificated in Time Line Therapy from its developer, Tad James.
She studied successful entrepreneurship with Robert and John Dilts on their Success Factor Modelling programme and has a certificate in Group leadership Dynamics and Non-Verbal Communication from Michael Grinder.
This behavioural, external model of communication married with NLP’s internal model offers powerful strategies for good communication.
Joan incorporates the best of these into her training delivery and style of coaching, as well as moulding it into content of her work in the area of prosperity consciousness. As a result her training, particularly her media training, is unique, yet powerfully effective.
