Hi, I'm Joan Russell — a San Diego-based change coach, facilitator and speaker who helps people get cozy with change.
I work with individuals navigating major life transitions AND some of the biggest organizations in the world — because change is change, whether it's personal or professional. My clients come to me in the middle of career shifts, identity reinventions, and to make life's biggest leaps. We create clarity together, and somehow make the whole thing feel less scary and a lot more fun.
My approach blends practical strategy with embodied tools — coaching, somatic work, Human Design, CliftonStrengths, and community. I believe real transformation happens when head and heart are both in the room.
Offerings include 1:1 coaching, group programs, workshops, and speaking and facilitation for retreats, conferences and organizations.
