Joanna Mackie

Joanna Mackie is a Leadership Coach, Consultant, and Facilitator for SHAMBAUGH. Joanna has over 30 years of global experience supporting meaningful individual, team, and organizational change. She uses high engagement approaches that help people strengthen their abilities to lead inclusively through noticing and disrupting unconscious biases, navigating the complexities of inclusion and cultural differences, and building communities/teams of support for sustaining desired changes. She also guides the development and rollout of inclusive system conversations and processes to build shared vision and strategy, to grow engagement, and to take powerful action that has transformative impact.

Joanna has worked with clients from more than 30 countries across industries and sectors including not-for-profit organizations, professional services firms (global and national), financial services, healthcare, and arts organizations. Current and previous clients include: The Office for Victims of Crime, Onwards Together, Deloitte,  Care International, United Nations (UNHCR, UNAIDS), Ted fellowships, People with AIDS Foundation, Canadian Blood Services, Up With People Inc., Bullfrog Power, State Street Bank, Ernst and Young, McCarthy Tetrault LLP, CIBC, Toronto Dominion Bank, Cirque du Soleil, Dancer Transition Resource Centre, Toronto Stroke Networks and many other organizations in Canada, the U.S. and around the world.

Joanna’s approach to leadership coaching and consulting is generative, ontological and strategic. Her approach is generative in that she focuses clients on strength-based conversations that build momentum around what people want to generate more of, both individually and collectively, to propel meaningful change. Her approach is ontological in that she helps people become more effective observers of themselves, to see new possible actions that generate both desired and unexpected results. Joanna’s approach is strategic in that she continuously guides clients to clarify their vision and strategy, to align all other efforts and systems with this ‘anchor’ in mind, and to adapt to their continuously changing landscape.

Joanna has a Masters degree in Organizational Change from the University of Toronto and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Western Ontario. She completed her diplomas in coaching through the Newfield Network and in Emotional Intelligence through the Institute for Health and Human Potential. Joanna lives in rural Ontario, Canada with her husband, their rescue dogs and formerly-feral cats.
