# My Coach Joanna – Business Description
My Coach Joanna is a leadership and career coaching practice based in Marske-by-the-Sea, run by Joanna Stokes, a Professional Certified Coach (ICF PCC) with 25 years of Further Education experience. She specialises in supporting experienced professionals, middle managers, and values-driven leaders who are questioning their career trajectory or seeking more authentic, purposeful work.
The coaching focuses on helping clients at critical junctures – whether facing burnout after decades in role, struggling to lead authentically within organisational constraints, or exploring entirely new career directions. Joanna works with individuals to clarify what matters to them, establish boundaries, and take decisive action aligned with their values.
What sets My Coach Joanna apart is her insider knowledge of public sector pressures. Having held senior leadership roles and worked as an Ofsted Inspector, she understands the specific challenges faced by Further Education leaders – the competing demands, the performative aspects of management, and the toll this takes on well-being. Rather than offering generic coaching, she provides straight-talking, practical support grounded in real-world understanding.
Beyond one-to-one coaching, she offers organisational support through bespoke workshops and DISC team development sessions designed for genuine impact rather than surface-level training. The business emphasises empowerment, clarity, and freedom – helping professionals reclaim agency over their careers rather than passively accepting circumstances.
