"The Leadership Whisperer" : Fostering healthy individuals and healthy organizations.
Scroll down to learn more about BonneFire. Join to willfully commit to be more self-aware, mindful, intentional and purposeful at home and in business, more every day, as a leader in all sectors of your life.
I am enthused to launch my first subscription-based services offering, a community called BonneFire, which is dedicated to fostering healthy individuals and healthy organizations. I invite you to “do the work with Johanne”: to aspire to achieving greater levels of harmony with ourselves and others in all sectors of our lives for greater well-being within our homes, teams, Boards, organizations and communities.
Ultimately how we lead and master our lives, how we govern at home, within our Boards, our organizations and our communities, rests with us.
Let Johanne be your leadership whisperer. Her gift is and ability to listen to others, to bring herself fully with an open heart, non-judgmental in all that she does. Nature is her friend, and she enjoys inviting others out of their regular settings. Her clients embrace her and her skills in ways that they haven’t experienced before. She has an ability to quickly get to the heart of issues and help clients reach new levels of connection and candor in helping all she works with, be more efficient and effective.
“ What sets her apart is the combination of her right- and left-brain skills. She knows how to listen, catch unspoken cues, instill trust and openness, while also being focused on the substance of the issues, the complexities of the situation and challenges, and the business issues that have to get solved. She is direct and candid while also unusually sensitive.”
