Below are a few testimonials from those who benefitted from Joanne's sessions.
Joanne's motivational presentation was wonderfully inspirational, honest and challenging. Many of our staff requested an outline of her performance. I would definitely recommend Joanne to any organization wanting to achieve professional balance.

I attended Joanne's Stress Management Seminar for one week. It was very enlightening to find out how much stress affects your health. She gave us a lot of useful tools on how to deal with every day life and the stresses that we constantly encounter. Thank you.

Thank you for your workshop. Our management team was amazed at the amount of information you were able to pack into just one session! They left with simple and sustainable ideas that have continued to impact their behavior.
The fast paced, 24/7/365 environment of the Hospitality and Gaming Industry creates constant stress. Management of that stress is a major concern. Lost work days due to stress related illness impact our productivity every day.
Your workshop provided the tools and strategies we needed to empower our managers to take control of their lives and deal with the constant pressures they feel each hour while they are at work.

I have attended presentations by Joanne Steed-Takasaki. At each one I have left feeling inspired, having learned new strategies and techniques and excited about the work we all do. Joanne is a dynamic speaker. She enthralls the audience with her wonderful “on the job” knowledge, her research and her passion for her work. There is standing room only when she makes a presentation in our school district!

Drawing on years of classroom experience at both the elementary and secondary levels, Joanne captivates her audience with a dynamic and passionate presentation style. Her poignant stories about the needs of students will remind you about the importance of your work while providing you strategies for your own classroom.

This outstanding presentation offers practical strategies that can be implemented in your classroom upon your return to school. Joanne takes you on a personal journey of trials and tribulations that lead to stories of heartwarming successes. Through implementing the ideas in Joanne’s presentation you too can turn a child’s life around by believing in their ability to take charge of their behavioral choices.
