Journae was founded to serve as a dedicated and trusted thought partner for professionals navigating the complexities of their leadership journeys. Drawing on more than 20 years of experience in transforming diverse organizations, combined with a foundational background in education, the practice is deeply informed by both strategic insight and an enduring commitment to continuous learning and development. JOURNAE aims to provide leaders at all levels with practical, actionable guidance and thoughtful inspiration that supports their ongoing growth and equips them to lead with greater confidence, clarity, and purpose.

This isn’t therapy, mentoring, or advice-giving. Coaching is a space for discovery. It’s a space where you’re in the driver’s seat, and Journae is here to help you navigate what’s real and what’s next.

The International Coaching Federation defines coaching as:

“Partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.”

In our words? A coach helps you pause, process, and move with more clarity, on your terms.

On this journey, you will be:

• Seen and heard without having to explain away your truth

• Encouraged to lead from your values, not just your title

• Supported in building self-awareness, accountability, and resilience

• Invited to explore the whole you—including the parts that often get left out of leadership conversations

Your coaching topic should be something current, meaningful, and unresolved. It’s yours to choose. Here are just a few examples:

• “I want to transition out of my current role but I’m unsure of what’s next.”

• “I don’t feel seen on my team.”

• “I want to lead differently—without burning out.”

• “I’m trying to delegate more, but trust is an issue.”

• “I need help navigating a reorg I’m responsible for.”

• “I want a better work/life balance—but I’m not even sure what that looks like anymore.”

• “I’m nervous about an upcoming presentation and want to show up fully.”

• “I need to give feedback to someone in power—and I want to do it well.”

Nothing is too big or too small. If it matters to you, it matters. This is your journae.

Bring yourself. Bring a real topic—personal or professional—that you’re thinking about or wrestling with. We’ll talk for an hour (video or phone, your choice). Because coaching is a bit of a journey, the expectation is for clients to commit to a minimum of two sessions a month.

If it feels good and you’re getting value, we can keep going for additional sessions.
