For over 30 years Joanne Love’s coaching methods have influenced Australia’s leading athletes, coaches, and teams

Every quarter each member in our community reviews their goals and aspirations for the coming week, month and year and we did it the same way every year until I met Joanne almost 5 years ago.

You see, Joanne Love has been an elite swimming coach for many years, being included on many State, National and International teams. Joanne has represented Australia at the 2008 Beijing Paralympics as a swimming coach and has also coached a number of Olympic Medallists and World Record Holders. Joanne holds a degree in psychology and currently works with elite sporting organisations imparting a wealth of information on how psychology and neuroscience can create successful outcomes.

Joanne has been featured in and contributed to numerous publications, incorporating both psychology, leadership and coaching, while also being featured as a regular guest speaker at conferences across the world, schools and sporting organisations. Joanne also acts as a mentor to other elite sporting coaches, working with them to incorporate psychological skills in their training programs.

Joanne, after working with elite athletes who struggle with mental health issues 20 years down the track, has identified the specific mental health issues that come with lack of effective goal setting.

She talks about some key areas in her work:

• The impact of setting goals we don’t have control over
• The perfect combination of goals to set each day, week, month and year to move you towards success
• Pressure and what holds us back from performing at our best

Her work inspired the redesign the goal-setting process for the Women with Influence Community, to a more evidence-based approach. She also consulted on the design of our popular Personal Power Planner.

"I love to see everyone perform at their best. Unfortunately, many people are held back by leaders who don’t know how to inspire the people they lead. Today’s young people aren’t lazy! They just need to be engaged."

Joanne has written 4 books, been featured in the media and rolled out her goal-setting programs in organisations and schools across Australia. She was recently interviewed on the podcast, take a listen!

As an industry expert and leader in her field, Joanne is part of our Women with Influence Community, maybe you can see yourself being part of this community too!?
