"Knowing and working with Joanne Dunleavy has deeply awakened my recognition and understanding of my abundant possibility as a leader and a person. I have greater clarity around my purpose and more intention and focus energizing my passion. Joanne’s deep wisdom--and the authenticity, warmth and precision with which she communicates that wisdom--has profoundly changed the lives of so many who have the good fortune to cross her path. Joanne is singularly adept at enhancing the effectiveness of coaches and leaders. More importantly--I think, she powerfully and compassionately challenges people to manifest their potential as human beings. Joanne’s work with others is like a spiritual growth hormone that penetrates the soul and continues working and resonating on different levels as life presents itself. I am continually growing and ever grateful."

~ Kimberly Nobbs Evans, Executive Coach and Marketing Strategist and Consultant

"Joanne has been great help in my growth as a coach. During the time frame we worked together, she always lovingly kept a compelling picture of what I could be in front of my eyes and encouraged me to move towards that picture. It is amazing how she can be soft, caring, compassionate, and also encouraging and challenging at the same time. Having received my MCC accreditation from the International Coach Federation recently, I count Joanne as one of the important teachers on my way."

"Multiple life-changing opportunities abound in the interactive Six-Month Coach Training course. Because it is so personalized, participants can see, feel, hear, speak, dream, love, give and learn at radically higher levels. The main ingredient of what makes the course so personalized is Joanne. Since graduating, I've learned that each course's delivery is distinct from each previous course's delivery, based upon who is in the course and what is going on with the group or a participant in the moment as the course occurs. In addition, Joanne's availability and loving intuition as an allied coach in each participant's process is a distinct value-added trademark to the many benefits of this training. As a result, not only can I exercise significantly more personal and professional power, but I can also claim a network of friends who are mentors, colleagues, and family members. Out of 25 years of self-help, therapy, and transformational trainings with different companies, this course has been the most forwarding and fulfilling with applicable results."

~ Tracy Tischer, Educator and Professional Coach

“Words can not begin to express the gratitude I have for the privilege of participating in the Institute as a participant and then as a student and mentor, but to also have been coached one-on-one by Joanne for over four years. There is a significant difference between mainstream coaching and Joanne’s heart-centered approach to coaching – Coaching with Intent. I have been the fortuitous recipient of this approach and my life has been completely and forever transformed again and again by working with her in sacred partnership. Joanne holds the vision I have for myself, even when I don’t, and is consistently there to remind me of my vision. In addition to being a masterful coach of the heart and soul, the experience that Joanne brings to both my business and personal endeavors has proven infinitely valuable. I really can’t say enough about the impact that Joanne has had on my life as a coach, a mentor, friend and teacher. Joanne was born to teach and is a gifted teacher. The New Agreements Coach Training and Leadership Institute is helping people every day to “release and expand their creative human spirits” and from my perspective, the world needs all of the releasing and expanding it can get! Thank you for doing what you do so well, Joanne! “

"I have worked with Joanne on a number of projects since 2004 and continue to be inspired, enlightened and enjoy each time we connect.

"Joanne Dunleavy is a teacher, friend, guide and angel to me. She magically brings insight, intelligence, sensitivity and boldness into her messages, support and work. I know with certainty that each time we connect, be it for coaching, as a learner, as a colleague, I benefit at an instant surface level and at a deeper permanent level too.

"I have been professionally coaching since 1999 and have experienced many different types, styles and depths of coach learning. Working with Joanne on the New Agreements programme allowed me to go deeper into my practice as a coach, about me, about them and about the impact I have on the world. During the 6 months and on going I have experienced many awakenings, shifts and wonderful changes in my coaching, the practice, the impact and in my life journey."

~ Simon Tyler, Master Coach, Coach Guide & Mentor, United Kingdom

"Participating in one of Joanne Dunleavy’s programs is life-changing. She creates powerful learning experiences that consistently challenge participants to grow to their fullest potential both personally and professionally. She is an inspired master teacher and transformational leader who unlocks the heart, mind and spirit of her students. As a school administrator I found the NACTLI Coaching Program to be the most significant professional development of my career."

~ Morag Cronkite, School Principal & Certified Professional Coach

“After the first weekend of participating in NACTLI’s 6-month Coaching Intensive Program, I came back to my organization energized and very clear on the future. What I experienced and the methods I learned kept me on the edge of my seat and wanting to learn MORE! Joanne is a Master at teaching one to be a successful Coach and Leader with Intent. This Program is a necessary piece of work for leaders in Corporate America to learn the skills of Coaching. It is the key to transform the workplace.”

~ Betsy Cerulo, CEO, AdNet/AccountNet, Inc., Executive Search and Staffing Agency

“My coaching relationship with Joanne has proven to be the single most productive endeavor that I’ve undertaken in the past 18 years. Her genius lies in holding an unwavering view of greatness for her clients. Her gift lies in her ability to relate to her clients in such a way that they, too, view their own greatness and act on that view. Of all the books I’ve read and seminars I’ve attended and mentors/coaches I’ve had, none inspired me to actions necessary to fulfill the largest vision of my life. Joanne has. Thank you!”

~ Leanne Hedberg, Professional Coach

"My reason for pursing New Agreements Coaching was to learn more about improving systems in the work place. I’m also fortunate to be working for a company that is mentored by a New Agreements Coach. Throughout this training I was amazed at how effective shifting and enhancing systems can be. We focused on structural improvements and streamlining processes. By addressing issues from a systems perspective it eliminated a lot of the complexities and angst typically experienced because of emotions. What has impressed me the most is that we are now experiencing much more success in our business. I’m proud to be apart of such a winning environment. Another added benefit is the improvement in own personal and professional growth. I have definitely developed more confidence around my communication and leadership skills."
