Testimonials
Read what some of Joan's clients have said about her.
I started using Joan’s business coaching service to help me start a new business. Joan became my sounding board, helped me define
what was important and prompted me to complete important tasks that were outside my comfort zone.
Very quickly I found that I needed Joan’s skills in personal life coaching as well. With a small business, how you personally
operate effects how well you communicate and ultimately the way you do business.
I have completed the 12 week series, but still use Joan’s services every few months to keep on track with goals.
I use Joan’s services via the internet and telephone as I am based on the Kapiti Coast out of Wellington New Zealand.
This has not been an issue for me and works very well. Giving my small business a coach means I have an extra person to help with planning,
as well as someone to talk over problems and possibilities. Joan keeps me true to my goals, both personal and business.
Anthony Ryan, Energy Audit Consultancy
I should have started using Joan much sooner but found the idea of a life coach a little indulgent. Being a busy working mum with
my own business, managing staff, household, children etc. I just knew life could be more enjoyable and harmonious but I just wasn't
staying on top of it all. Add to the mix wanting to ensure I maintain a loving relationship with my husband too which had slipped
by the wayside. I had met Joan through BNI and just immediately liked her warm, professional approach and thought she would be a good "fit".
I also liked the fact that she offered finite sessions which I spread over six months. I knew that if I did this I didn't want it
waffling on forever and if done properly Joan would give me the tools to continue on my own - which she did.
Joan kept me on track and kept our sessions on track, knowing when to let me go on a tangent but not letting me get too carried away.
At first some of the exercises really put me out of my comfort zone but I came to enjoy this and had quite a few "ah-ha" moments
where I realised this is why I did certain things and how I can improve how I go about my life. I also valued the variety of literature
and real tangible lists she provided as they really clarified what's important. I am pleased to say that I am still on track with my
goals and I continue to highly recommend Joan as I really feel she has improved the quality of my life. Indulgent? Absolutely not.
Joanne Harding-Smith, Owner, Travel Agency
Through the very positive aspects of goal setting, I have been able to work with Joan for 12 weeks to
achieve more in my personal life and my business than I could have ever imagined. Joan’s coaching skills have
helped me to clarify my business vision so I can stay on track and I now have all the correct structures
in place which enable me to assess my business and it’s success.
Joan is always very supportive and always knew the best way to get the best out of me. I achieved an enormous
workload in the time we worked together and it was tremendously satisfying to have help in achieving my goals.
Joan also helped me realize that I had the ability to do and achieve more than I could have possibly thought.
I have been given all the tools I need for a “2007 with Ease” and I am most grateful.
I am 250% happy with the work we did together and would recommend Joan to anyone who is interested in getting
100% out of themselves.
Susan Borg, Aromatherapist
I just wanted to let you know how your coaching sessions
have paid off for me. As I lead such a busy life, and not being a particularly good multi-tasker, I have found that your
coaching has given me the ability to focus on one issue at a time. Not only do I find it easier to focus,
but also to logically set goals and put in place the steps to these goals, in practical and workable sequence.
I have also found it invaluable to have someone to be, not only a sounding board for ideas, but to help prioritise
those ideas. I have been able to work through the hazy muddle of my future, and now have a solid picture of my
future direction and the steps I have to make in order to make my dreams and aspirations a cohesive reality
I would like you to know that I recommend your services to anyone who is seeking some direction in not only
their personal and business life, but in any area of their life that they may be struggling with, or indeed, their life as a whole.
Peter Ware, Real Estate Licensee
The decision to undertake a series of Life Coaching with Joan Weir enabled me to not only identify and
clarify my goals but to put them into action in a clearly defined and structured manner. Joan’s ability to
tease out my ideas until I experienced clarity, her dedication to keeping me on track and the many strategies
she used were instrumental in my realising my major goal of opening my own business.
Working with Joan was a valuable experience and one I would highly recommend.
Barbara Trainor, Natural Health Therapist
What I appreciate most about Joan's life coaching skills is her ability to get to the
heart of the matter - both literally and figuratively. Joan's warmth and
integrity helped me feel safe and truly 'en-couraged'.

Joan
gave me complete support and direction and helped me focus on what was the most
important to deal with at the time. Joan had the right mix of firmness and flexibility and she kept me on target no
matter what. I was blown out by how much I had achieved and the different,more confident and happy person I had become.
Yvette Blades,Homeopath
Joan's coaching enabled me to grow exponentially in confidence and commitment to creating
the life I want. She helped me to establish and work towards goals in a clear and concise manner
at a time when I felt I needed to make changes but was unsure how. Her insightful and caring comments
and professional attitude allowed me to develop at my own pace with complete trust in her integrity.
I would wholeheartedly recommend her as a coach to anyone wanting to make positive changes in their life.
Kaz, Art Teacher
I have recently completed a 12-week coaching series with Joan Weir and have found it extremely worthwhile
in establishing and working towards both my personal and business goals. With Joan’s guidance through the process
I learnt a lot more about myself and achieved a lot in a short space of time.
I have found Joan to be very friendly and easy going, knowledgeable, perceptive and easy to interact with.
In particular I valued her support, wisdom and understanding of relationship issues. Joan has a natural and
genuine empathy and understanding. She shares her knowledge and insights, while challenging you to explore
the answers within yourself. She always knows the right book or quote to share, the right insights needed
and the right amount of pressure required.
Joan has a strong intuition, which together with her own life experiences and coaching skills makes her ideally
suited to coaching. I would have no hesitation in recommending Joan to anyone looking for a wonderful coach.
Karen Shorter, Event Planner
I found Joan to be a fabulous life coach. She is of a nurturing nature and
as such is well suited to her work. Joan has helped me to see inside
myself and reach new limits
Tracy Hintz, Property Investor
Life coaching
with Joan helped me achieve balance and harmony in my life and dramatically
shifted me in areas that I’d felt really stuck in. Joan is very organised and
thorough as well as being warm, supportive and insightful.
I found working with Joan especially helpful in my relationship with my partner. Joan has an immense knowledge in relationship work
and brought wonderful, practical and helpful ideas to every session. With her help I was able to work through some very sensitive areas
in a safe, nurturing and supportive way, and was able to achieve some stunning results.
I enjoyed my sessions immensely, but more importantly I achieved very tangible results.
