Your Guide to Project Management and Leadership Success

Forget the polished management textbooks - real leadership is forged in the high-stakes, under-resourced trenches of everyday operations. Joanne has spent her career navigating the world of non-profits as well as the complex landscape of a Fortune 500 corporation. Because she’s held roles across IT, management, marketing, and business development, she doesn’t just look at a project from a distance—she sees the 360-degree reality of what it takes to make an organization succeed.

Joanne’s approach is rooted in technical grit. She knows exactly what it’s like to be the one responsible for the "heavy lifting". For twelve years, she was half of a two-person team that was responsible for the maintenance and operations of 29 applications that operated on 24/7 availability. A highlight of her career includes serving as the sole IT contributor building the backend for a highly technical medical system implementation. She understands that for new and aspiring project managers, the challenge isn’t just learning the theory; it’s surviving the "real world" where resources are tight and technical requirements are complex. So if you’re dealing with long hours, problems or burnout, she’s been there - and made it to the ‘other side’. Her writing is driven by a genuine desire to help you skip the trial-and-error phase, refine your skills, and achieve your full potential without the burnout.
