"Working with Joanne was one of the most positive life experiences that I've ever had. I was seeking ways to organize my goals, strengthen my focus, and make some big-ticket life changes. Joanne worked with me to crystallize my vision. She brought a sense of clarity, honesty, and enlightenment into my life, that was so valuable to me. Joanne is clear-thinking, directed, and unwavering in her purpose. She puts all the issues on track with guidance and assurance, and charts a do-able path towards achieving what you want out of life. While stripping out the fears, doubts, and grey areas, Joanne worked with me to establish a toolkit for my dreams. I highly recommend Joanne. She made a major difference for me, one that I am very grateful for.
Ceil Diskin, Creative Director
"I have known and worked with Joanne for over 12 years, as a friend, career manager and personal confidante, and I only give her my highest recommendation as a professional Creative Coach. Joanne combines a keen intellect with boundless intuition and a deep well of personal empathy focused directly on you, your talent, your hopes and dreams, and most of all, your reality. She nurtures your dreams while keeping your feet planted in the reality of where you are, so that you can better get to where you want to be. She is caring and supportive even as she prods you to do better. Her world view is one based on generosity and love and those elements are always part of the input she gives you. Articulate, seasoned, creative and filled with innate joy, Joanne is a fantastic ally to have on your side. So what are you waiting for?!" David Simpatico, playwright, screenwriter, director
"Joanne Zippel's life coaching was so key for finally leaving a Wall Street job that was making me miserable and opening myself up to all the possibilities this world has to offer. Writer, editor, urban gardener, English teacher, builder of ecovillages and intentional communities... So many hats I realized I could wear, and many of them at the same time! Joanne simply helped me understand that there's nothing irresponsible about going off on a solo "soul adventure," learning to live in the moment and to listen to my surprisingly ambitious, motivated, and now not-at-all-clueless inner voice. Most importantly, Joanne taught me that a writer is simply someone who writes, and I've been doing a whole lot of writing ever since."
Vicki Litvinov, writer/entreprenuer
"After 25 years in corporate sales, at age 53, I made a life changing decision to follow my childhood dream in becoming an artist. Joanne has an innate talent for listening and accessing with absolute clarity what you struggle in yourself to articulate. She is able to extrapolate the sparkle and true spirit that is trapped within us fighting so hard and so long to get out. She was my respirator that gave me my first full “breathe of air” to my new career. “
Betsy Klein, artist/jewelry designer
"I got divorced, lost my job the next day, and had to put my house on the market a week later. During the darkest days, Joanne's coaching helped me reevaluate what I wanted to do with my life and find the courage to finally become an independent consultant. I am much happier than I've been in many years because I'm finally doing what I love and getting paid for it!"
Murray Karten, successful supply chain consultant
"Joanne has the talent and the heart to always see one's strengths. We met during the most trying time of my career. I wanted to quit the practice of law altogether, thinking that it was the problem. But Joanne carefully guided me through the process of figuring out what I want and helped me work out my limiting beliefs that were holding me back from pursuing my soul work, which still definitely involved the practice of law. She is ever ready to support and empower in ways that are comfortable yet solid. She helped me find the courage to leave an unhappy work situation. With her, I feel safe and confident that I can make my dreams into reality."
Karla Ng, attorney
"What a blessing Joanne has been. Our conversations were honest, sincere and her feedback was incredibly thoughtful. I loved that it was structured and I had an action plan between sessions to keep me motivated after I quit my job. I’ve come out of this experience with new ideas, new energy and new confidence in my soul work that has enabled me to finally move forward. It is tough to fully express how beneficial this process is. Get ready for a life changing experience – Joanne will be there for you from start to finish and beyond. I couldn’t have done it without her."
