Distinctions Executive Coaching
Executive Coaching that Drives Clear Decisions, Stronger Teams & Measurable Results
Business Impact for Global Orgs
I’m Joanna, an ICF Master Certified Coach (MCC).
I work with senior leaders and executive teams, across commercial and corporate sized businesses, to navigate complexity, enhance strategic impact, and deliver sustained performance across geographies, time zones and cultures.
With 25 years of experience, I bring a calm, focused partnership that turns strategy into delivery. My approach is always tailored, practical and results-driven.
I coach CEOs, founders, MDs and C-suite teams to sharpen decision-making, align behaviours and accelerate results.
The Distinctions Coaching Way
A confidential, outcome-led partnership that meets you where you are and moves you forward with momentum.
I draw on Develop EQ emotional intelligence work, because who we are is how we lead, and small shifts in self-awareness often change everything.
I’m also one of a small number of MCC coaches in the UK, and I work with six global associations to keep practice and standards high.
“Joanna is a fantastic coach. She helped me discover my blind spots and challenge my beliefs and assumptions that were getting in the way of being a better person, colleague and leader.
Joanna is patient, insightful, direct and honest. Her ability to both support and challenge has been invaluable. Working with Joanna was a true pleasure.”

How it Works
30-minute chemistry chat (free)
We clarify goals, context, and fit. You’ll leave with an outline of focus areas and suggested cadence.
Proposal
You receive a written proposal covering the number of sessions, approach, schedule options, fees, and T&Cs (incl. cancellations/rescheduling).
Agreement
Simple e-signature to confirm scope, confidentiality, and logistics. The invoicing schedule is agreed here.
Outcome design
Your coach drafts the coaching outcomes and programme. You review/confirm so we’re aligned on what success looks like.
Stakeholder alignment (recommended)
A short call with you, your line manager and/or HR to align expectations and success measures, and to confirm confidentiality boundaries.
