About Joanne Newlund:

Joanne Newlund is a coach and facilitator at Mission Facilitators.  She works to help individual leaders and their teams understand, use, and perfect their leadership and the creative side of leading teams and companies.  Joanne has advanced training in executive coaching, and emotional intelligence, and has owned and led several successful businesses.

Joanne’s belief matches McKinsey and Company’s 10-year global study of senior knowledge workers that found employees who spend the most time trusting their intuition and experiencing the creative state of “flow" are up to five times more effective than their counterparts. 

Joanne’s three-part process overlays her coaching, speaking, and training.  

1. Discovering.  Getting to the ‘root cause’ by listening and asking probing questions, 

2. Preparing.  Developing game plans for her clients, 

3. Leading.  Reframing and suggesting new approaches.   

Joanne speaks on leadership, using intuition in decision-making and team building.  She has traveled worldwide and led or owned healthcare, design, and home construction companies. She spends most of her time now in Bend, Oregon, or Phoenix, Arizona.
