All Certified NeuroTransformational Coaches have first completed a recognized coach training program* before completing all four modules of BEabove Leadership’s Neuroscience, Consciousness and Transformational Coaching, a total of over 81 classroom hours (in addition to their core coach training). Upon completion of these modules, our certified coaches have then completed a rigorous Certification Program, which includes additional reading, review, coaching supervision and feedback. At the end of this program, they must pass a comprehensive written test (essay format) covering key neuroscience topics, as well as a one-to-one interview and coaching proficiency test. We’re very proud to recommend all our CNTCs as transformational coaches and experts in the neuroscience of human development. *in some rare cases, they may instead be trained as therapists — see individual information for more detail.
Along with BEabove's Seven Levels and neuroscience, Joan utilizes system and team development models, assessment and leadership tools from the Center of Right Relationship, Team Coaching International, and Co-Active Leadership. Her approach includes both compassion and rigor; creativity and structure.
Joan is skilled working with ethnically diverse populations, including client and volunteer experiences in the Middle East and Rwanda. Along with local and international work, Joan is involved in community interfaith and social justice organizations.
Joan's coaching mantra is: Who do you want to be? And what are you willing to ask for and do? It is a focus on client movement to a more desirable future state - while also enjoying the journey along the way.
