WHAT CLIENTS SAID

The work in their words

Working with Josianne supported my transition into a complex senior role. Her calm, adaptive coaching helped me unpack challenges, gain clarity, and focus on what mattered. Through our sessions, I’ve grown into a more self‑aware and compassionate leader. Her personalised approach created space for reflection, and she became a trusted partner who helped me see blind spots and grow as both a leader and a person.

At the time I reached out to Josianne, I was looking to explore my career drivers, and prepare for new career opportunities. I knew I needed professional growth and wanted someone who would challenge my thinking. Josianne always came across as positive and energetic. This came through strongly in our first meeting and I enjoyed that aspect throughout my coaching. What changed for me during the coaching was a greater appreciation of the need to be less binary and more fluid in my thinking. What changed for me after the coaching was improved confidence, increased curiosity, and the ability to engage with others with greater ease. Josianne is masterful at guiding the process and will offer many "invitations" to grow and learn, you just have to be willing.

Josianne has been my coach for close to 6 months now. When we began working together, I had no idea it would deliver the motivating, thought-provoking and change-inducing results that it has. Based on a premise that the answers to many questions, both personal and professional, lay inside of you, Josianne perfectly guides you to find these, asking you the right questions and giving you the space to discover. I thoroughly enjoy (and am deeply grateful) for our sessions together.

I knew I wanted change — and needed it — but I had no idea how to make it happen. That’s why I started looking for a coach. From our very first call, everything clicked. I instantly felt I was in good hands. I came away feeling energised, motivated, and genuinely hopeful that change was possible. I trusted my instinct and made the decision to work with Josianne that same day. In terms of what changed during the coaching, I'd say everything and nothing. This was my first coaching experience, so I came in with an open mind and no fixed expectations. Everything — because my mindset fundamentally shifted. I approach life differently now. I ask myself questions I never used to, I listen to myself more, and I evaluate decisions and choices with greater care and intention. And nothing — because I'm still me. I'm the same person I've always been. All the tools were already inside me. I just needed help opening my eyes and paying real attention to me. Josianne was recommended by a friend who shared a positive experience without going into too much detail — and that was enough. I went in with an open mind and a positive attitude, ready for whatever came. I think that's really all you need to know, because the rest is so personal and won't be the same for everyone. If I had to give one piece of advice to someone considering working with her, I'd say: it's a journey. Josianne plants the seed, but we're in charge of watering it — so I hope you like gardening! On a more serious note: I initially thought I'd be guided through a clear framework or step-by-step process, and to some extent that's true at the beginning. But I wish I had realised sooner how much I needed to bring to each session — being more proactive with topics, sharing doubts, asking questions, and showing up more prepared. Because it's deeply personal — there's no set program. The more you put in, the more you get out.

I decided to work with Josianne because I had reached a point where I felt stuck - mentally and emotionally - after changes in my personal life. I was aware that certain beliefs were holding me back, but I couldn’t quite figure out where they came from. While I was initially skeptical about coaching, my previous experience with Josianne who is empathetic and non-judgmental gave me the confidence to give coaching a try.One of the biggest shifts for me was developing a much deeper understanding of myself: why I react the way I do, where some of my limiting beliefs come from, and how past experiences shaped my inner voice. Through the coaching sessions, I learned to process my feelings, instead of pretending they didn’t exist - I was surprised that I was still deeply emotional about something that happened decades ago! The sessions helped me realize that these emotions don’t have to define me, and that I can acknowledge them, coexist with them, and still show up as the best version of myself. What I realised when working with Josianne is that coaching is not about “fixing problems”; it’s about rediscovering who I am. And only when I keep an open mind, the real breakthroughs happen!

I recently had the privilege of working with Josianne in what ended up being a blended executive and personal coach capacity. From the very beginning, her warm and engaging approach made me feel at ease, creating a foundation of trust. Josianne’s empathy and deep understanding reassured me that I was in capable hands. Drawing on her vast experience across various roles, organizations, and cultures, Josianne has a unique ability to ask insightful questions that not only made me pause and reflect during our sessions but also stay with me long after. Thanks to her guidance, I’ve gained a renewed sense of confidence, clarity on what drives me, and a stronger vision for my long-term career goals. If you’re looking for a coach who will challenge you, support you, and equip you with the tools to thrive, I can’t recommend Josianne highly enough. I would strongly encourage you to schedule a 'chemistry meeting' with her to get a sense of engaging coaching style. Josianne has been an amazing coach for me, and I’m sure she’ll have the same positive impact on anyone who works with her.

I love how the GICA Framework that Josianne shared in the workshop encompassed both the professional and personal aspects of the participants. And the self-reflection questions will continuously be relevant later in a different period because our circumstances will continue to evolve.

Josianne has been and still is playing a very critical role during my transition from a domain expert to a leader. She is giving me a different perspective to all the challenges I am facing; she is inspirational to help me find out the approach to overcome the difficulties; she is there together with me to discover my strengths (yes, you will be surprised that you don’t know your own strength and even somebody else tells you, you won’t believe in your own strength); she has this magic to boost your confidence, to enlighten you. More importantly, she comes from a neutral ground. She doesn’t have any other agenda other than to help you. I benefit a lot from her coaching sessions. And believe you will too.

I first met Josianne in 2015 when we worked for the same company and her approach to her role and presence was very impressive. As such, and notwithstanding my hesitation to enter this kind of process, she was a natural choice when I realised I would benefit from support and a sounding board to transition between roles. I was not disappointed. Josianne’s style is one that I can relate to; she is extremely personable, very pragmatic, her questions are thought-provoking and she is just great at reframing perspectives. She certainly knows her onions! I don’t hesitate to recommend Josianne. She has ‘been there and done that’, and this deep, practical personal and professional experience combined with her awesome character and natural coaching ability is a tremendous mix.

Jossianne was a rock for me during a massive career transition. She helped me sort through the noise, find my inner confidence and adapt to a completely new context. I appreciated her patience, her support and her clarity - she was amazing at helping me navigate the shift. What changed for me during our coaching was being able to go back to myself, trusting my practice, why I was hired and my perspective. Even if the values around me have changed, I don't need to and can lead from where I define to be centre.

I was very stressed at work, at a pivotal moment in my career where I was very much outside of my comfort zone and I was questioning myself if I could be happy in that situation. I decided to see Josianne to find tactics to become more comfortable in my role and be successful both in my personal and professional life. What changed for me during the coaching is that I realised I needed to take my future into my own hands and that I had a choice and I could be in the driver seat rather than the passenger seat of my own career. Since then, my professional life really shifted for the better. I was lucky enough to find Josianne at the time I needed her and I am happy to be able to recommend her coaching to other friends since then. What I would say to my friends is to go to coaching with an open mind, not try to manipulate the outcome, because in my case, the outcome was mind blowing and unexpected because I did a complete career change thanks to Josianne and have never been happier in my life since then.

Right from the start, it felt less like a coaching session and more like a genuine dialogue. Her insights weren’t just theoretical—they were grounded in years of real experience working with people, which made her feedback incredibly relevant and practical. That combination of authenticity and expertise made all the difference. What changed for me during the coaching was how Josianne helped me connect the dots between my past decisions and the present. She has this incredible ability to link current situations to my own experiences, helping me see them in a new light. Through her guidance, I was able to contextualize past choices and use them as stepping stones to move forward with greater clarity and purpose. I wish someone had told me how naturally intuitive Josianne is. She doesn’t just listen—she really hears what’s being said and, more importantly, what’s not. Her ability to meet me exactly where I was, without judgment, helped me open up in ways I hadn’t anticipated. I think if someone had told me how deeply personalized and human her approach is, I would’ve had less hesitation.

Josianne offers excellent adaptability coaching for those looking for self-investment like I did. She has enabled me to explore and shape my very own leadership style and work towards communicating with authenticity and effectiveness. She guided me with toolkits to turn fears and vulnerabilities into opportunities; and I am still using these toolkits long after the coaching sessions have ended. Her unique coaching style has inspired me to explore my own coaching journey in the near future. Many thanks to Josianne!

I’ve worked with many coaches, I distinctly remember after our intro call, I just knew Josianne was awesome and that I wanted to work with her! I also really liked and was intrigued by the name Adaptologie! What changed for me during the coaching is that I was able to see how sometimes I’d be too uptight and be in my own way. Josianne gently guided me to see that.
