- A senior level project manager in a global engineering design company succeeds in leading the firm’s biggest and most prestigious project.
- Deputy Director of a large sustainability company finds a leadership style that inspires her and uses it as a template to move from a rather tentative approach to engaging her boss in a complete overhaul of the company’s vision
- A utility company CEO re-engages his team with a shared vision and successfully delegates key projects.
“My contribution was to see what was possible and to hold on to that idea, never allowing the memories of past poor communication to get in our way; it was a delight to see her present the vision for the business with passion, energy and commitment.”
Joella lives in London with her husband and two of their five sons. She comes from a strongly creative background and is an accomplished cabinet maker and a successful artist. She has a love of the outdoors and delights in having once, briefly, been a cowboy in the Rockies.
