The advantages of executive coaching extend beyond the personal growth of leaders. Although every competent leader strives to improve themselves and their talents, the majority of them opt for executive coaching since it benefits them and their company in the long term. Professional executive coaching provides farreaching benefits for everyone in an organisation, from leaders to all employees — regardless of status. When leaders grow and improve, their organisations tend to follow.
Developing and strengthening leadership skills is about more than just career advancement. It is about providing an organisation with the leadership it requires to grow in all areas. Joanna Thumiger, Director of JET Corporate Development (JETCD), is passionate about helping leaders understand themselves, bring out the best in others, and accomplish their full potential.
Joanna also works with teams to ensure they are getting high-performance results and are completely engaged. Leaders benefit not only from her coaching but also from the learning of the other leaders in the group when they are involved in group coaching. Joanna’s coaching sessions and also the workshops she conducts, are interesting, pertinent, and highly immersive, thanks to her exceptional corporate experience, multi-cultural understanding, and enthusiasm and energy.
A thought provoking and informed coach who is focused on creating a difference for everyone with whom she works. “We don’t want to change someone; instead, we want them to be the greatest / better version of themselves through nurturing their abilities and behaviours.
This means that at the end of each session, they must take action because altering our behaviour is difficult and takes time. Leaders have usually had a lot of success doing what they have always been doing. However, if we want to advance, we must recognise that there are new ways to accomplish things.
As a result, innovating in response to changing market and lifestyle factors is essential,” says Joanna Thumiger, Director at JET Corporate Development. Joanna really discovered what leadership was about from having some amazing managers and leaders to work with. They made a huge contribution to her development as a person. Early in her career she was awarded the ‘Australian Young Retailer of the Year Competition.’ It was then Joanna realised that if she set her mind to anything, she could make it happen.
She began exploring the world and discovered there were numerous opportunities available. One fascinating role that she took on was when she served as Principal of the Pakistan Embassy International School in Turkey. And once she became accredited as a coach, “I was able to help people work on behaviours that were holding them back, with visible results,” she adds. Joanna is backed by a global network of partners that collaborate to deliver added value and complementary services as needed. The head and heart approach is an important ideology -learning for the ‘head’ and overcoming challenges faced to ensure commitment from the ‘heart’. This is incorporated into the JETCD integrated solution approach and is something that everyone at JETCD believes in.

Be ready for an amazing journey with your executive coach as you will be empowered to think for yourself, overcome obstacles, make informed decisions and take action to reach your highest potential
“I believe it is critical for everyone who wants to be a coach to have some experience in the field in which they coach, not necessarily in the job role, organisation, or industry. For example, I’m a leadership coach and have been a leader for many years. So, as coaches, we are not expected to give advice; rather, we are supposed to push others to think for themselves. At the same time, we must assist them in seeking alternative viewpoints. I can both challenge your ideas and accompany you on your path. And I believe that makes a significant difference when it comes to coaching,” concludes Joanna.
