growth-minded LEADERS

As a leader, your well-being and inner capacity directly shape your ability to show up with presence and authenticity. I offer individual leadership coaching and small group learning experiences for leaders seeking to deepen self-awareness, build nervous system resilience, and develop the relational skills to lead from grounded presence rather than reactivity—so you can navigate complexity and show up as the leader you want to be.

offerings

  • In partnership with some of my favorite humans, I facilitate nature-based leadership retreats that invite deep reflection, authentic community, joy and play, and embodied practice. These immersive experiences create space for you to step away from the demands of daily work, reconnect with yourself and your values, and build capacity for grounded, resilient leadership. I offer retreats 2-3 times a year.

  • I offer open-enrollment classes and workshops, both online and in-person, on topics ranging from nervous system awareness and self-regulation to navigating difficult conversations and trauma-informed leadership. I also host learning and practice groups where leaders gather to discuss books, practice skills, and connect with others who are committed to human-centered leadership.

  • I LOVE working with leaders individually in one-on-one coaching relationships. My approach is deeply relational and combines nervous system awareness, an understanding of human needs, compassionate listening, and reflective inquiry. Together, we'll work to develop the inner tools to lead with authenticity and grounded presence.

Leadership is inherently relational work, and some of our most profound growth happens in community with others who are on a similar journey.

I facilitate small group workshops, retreats, and cohort-based learning experiences that blend nervous system awareness, authentic connection, and embodied practice. These spaces are designed for leaders who want to deepen self-awareness, strengthen their capacity for authenticity and courage, build relational skills, and practice showing up with their full humanity. This work also invites us to examine how dominant culture norms—like urgency, perfectionism, and individualism—shape our leadership patterns and to reimagine what's possible when we lead from different values.

In addition to group experiences, I offer one-on-one leadership coaching for individuals seeking more personalized support. Through reflective exploration and nervous system-informed practice, we’ll work together to close the gap between your intentions and actions and develop the inner capacity to navigate complexity and lead from grounded presence.

Whether in community or individually, this work invites you to show up with curiosity, compassion, and courage—building the foundation for authentic, resilient leadership that challenges the status quo and creates space for all people to thrive.

INVITING PERSONAL + collective GROWTH AND TRANSFORMATION

  • “Working with Jo 1:1 has been a breath of fresh air. She has a rare gift for seeing you exactly where you’re at, and then helping you set goals that are actually realistic (like, no “just wake up at 5 AM and hustle harder” nonsense). Everything feels tailored, doable, and grounded in who you are.

    She’s not just knowledgeable—she’s personable in a way that makes you feel instantly connected. The kind of coach who remembers the small stuff, laughs with you when things get messy, and somehow always knows the right question to ask.

    If you want someone who’s real, honest, and actually gives a damn about your growth—Jo’s your go-to.”

    Brittany W., Coaching Client

  • “Jo is a direct and engaged teacher and her gentle and compassionate style of facilitating is inviting, inclusive, and authentic. Her ability to break down complex ideas into an easy-to-understand presentation is remarkable, and more than that, she provides you with the tools you need to apply these ideas to your own life. Her ability to foster true connection between a group of disparate people is both transformative and empowering.”

    Sierra M., Participant: “Intro to Mindful Self-Compassion” Online Course

  • “Jo is an amazing facilitator. She brings her whole self, along with a depth of experience and skill, to create sessions that touch people deeply. Her wise presence invites you in and offers a soft and joyful place to learn, explore, and connect with your heart. Jo’s emergent and intuitive facilitation is exactly the kind of powerfully transformative work we need in our world today.”
