Be valued & recognized for more than your scientific expertise.
I help scientists working in life sciences and academia to make bold moves & create business value to get noticed, get promoted and have massive impact in their fields.
You spent years earning those credentials behind your name in an area of science that excites you.
But now that excitement feels like a distant dream.
Do you believe
if you just…
work longer hours
put your head down
do exceptional work
demonstrate your commitment
wait out the constant company changes
...you'll finally get noticed for a promotion?
Maybe you have gotten to the next level, but you...
feel ill equipped to lead a matrixed team?
have no idea how to interact with executive leaders?
aren't getting the support you need to be successful?
Or maybe you just feel like you need a safe space outside of your organization to explore your career aspirations, personal branding and chart the next phase of your career?
it's not your fault.
No one has ever let you in on the secret that your scientific expertise is not enough.
Scientists are significantly underserved and rarely thought of for leadership & career development.
I'm here to help change that.
I'VE SEEN IT TIME AND TIME AGAIN: SCIENTISTS are the last to be thought of for leadership development.
(And often scientists themselves don’t want to "waste time" learning these skills.)
hi, i'm joanna
I'm a Leadership & Career Coach with over 15 years of experience in healthcare, biotech, and pharma.
My clients are Brilliant Scientists who
want to feel more connected to the patient impact of their work
are ready to step Boldly into their Authentic Leadership to make massive impact
want to get sh*t done & need support navigating the unwritten rules of the workplace
are incredible leaders & seek a Partner to challenge them to think Bolder
are startup CxOs who want to inject urgency to engage investors
are immigrants who want to stop being taken advantage of and start thriving in America
Everyone is busy, so it's hard to find people who want to invest time in you to help you get where you want to go. Going it alone is hard, takes so much time, and you may never get where you actually want to be.
That’s why I’m committed to helping scientists, like me, to get noticed, get promoted, change roles, become inspirational leaders, and have a massive impact in their fields.
