One-on-One

Teacup Meeting

Scheduling of new Teacup Meetings is on hold until further notice. Thank you for your understanding.
Want to spend an hour with me? --- Okay, in reality, it's probably more than hour. I usually get carried away.You buy the coffee --- Ok, actually hot tea or maybe even hot chocolate, you can drink coffee --- and I will listen and ask lots of questions. You probably will have some homework to do ahead of time, so we can accomplish more in our time together. Then our conversation will guide you towards where you need to focus on and what you need to do.

Topics can be personal or professional --- or both. This is a one-time opportunity for each individual.

And I don't hit you up for more work. I'm not a good salesperson, and many have pointed that out. But I wouldn't offer this in the first place, if I did not have different priorities. If you do want to sign up for more time with me, let me know at the end of our first session together, and you can become a Guiding Client .

Own a business and need help with that? Look below at the Out Loud Sessions.

Guiding Client

If you want to continue working with me one-on-one, you become a “Guiding Client”.

I do not require a minimum number of meetings, or have you sign a contract.

Session Price: 75 minutes - $150

For select circumstances, a sliding fee arrangement may be possible. Please email Joanne for more details.

All fees are in US Dollars

Resume & Job Search

People sometime ask me if I work with people on their resumés and other job search materials. The short answer is --- sometimes.

Usually it is because I am working with someone on a project that ties in with resumés, where they are looking to clarify who they are, what their gifts/talents/skills are so they can move forward in their career. This could be in the same organization for a promotion or raise (or both), or moving to another organization.

Those people already know I am likely to take them a different way than is traditional, so you need to know that before you work with me. I will recommend you do things, and not do things, that are in most resumes’. My goal is for that resume’ to represent you, in the best way, so you are excited to give it to someone. I do not want it to be like anyone else’s. It will still be professional, just not template.

There are two steps to work with me on a job search and other career path activities. One is free, but the other does involve a fee.

Tea with Joanne Videos --- these are FREE! And if you work with me on your resume’ I will have you watch them before we talk, so it is a good place to start.

Guiding Sessions where we collaborate on your resume, cover letter, LinkedIn, interviews or whatever area you need. For documents we will be sharing on Google Docs and Zoom to work on them together.

Out Loud Session

Do you own or lead in a business or other organization, and want to work with me one-on-one, or with your team to talk about that business? Then what you are looking for is an…

Out Loud Session...

Think Out Loud
Create Out Loud
Solve Out Loud
Question Out Loud
Focus Out Loud

This is how I work with individuals and organizations developing what they do, want to do, or need to do.

I am the child of a right brain highly creative (“What can we make out of that paper towel tube?”) mother, and a left brain engineer father (who sent letters with diagrams in them), and like to think I got the best of both of them, and became an expert on filling in the holes and bridging the gaps. I am an entrepreneur who has reinvented myself as times and life has changed, and love doing the same with others. I get very excited when someone says “I never thought of it that way”, and then working with them to create a better “whatever needs to be fixed”.

Because of feedback from those who have worked with me, and because I do not believe one size fits all, I created a “different” kind of fee structure. People would say to me “I got more than I expected and what I needed in 15 minutes”. So I thought why should you pay for an hour when you don’t need an hour? And maybe sometimes you do need an hour. Or something in between.

15 minutes - $75
30 minutes - $150
45 minutes - $200
60 minutes - $250
Monthly retainers - on request

All fees in US Dollars
