About Me
Real coaching for real-life leadership.
I’m Joann Gomez, a Certified Coach, Interim Executive Leader, and Nonprofit Management Consultant with 15+ years of experience guiding mission-driven organizations and leaders toward clarity, balance, and sustainable growth.
As a Certified Life Coach, I believe every person deserves to thrive, not just succeed. My work is about helping those in leadership remember their worth, honor their wellbeing, and lead with intention. Through personalized coaching and holistic support, I help clients create space for what matters most so they can lead, live, and dream on their own terms.
As an Interim Leader and Nonprofit Management Consultant, As an Interim Leader and Nonprofit Consultant, I help nonprofits navigate transition, strengthen systems, and realign around purpose and sustainability. With a focus on strategy, people, and financial clarity, I guide teams and boards to build strong infrastructures through board development, leadership coaching, and organizational design that promote stability, accountability, and lasting impact.
Across all my work, whether coaching an individual or guiding an entire organization, I’m grounded in the belief that sustainable success starts from within: when leaders are aligned, confident, and supported, their organizations thrive. I believe in:
Radical rest as resistance
Healing as leadership
Saying no with love and power
Creating space for joy—even when things are hard
Bringing your full, unpolished, brilliant self to the work
If you’re navigating a big transition, healing from leadership trauma, or reimagining what’s next, I’m here. Not to fix you. But to walk with you. To hold space. To ask the hard questions. To remind you that you're allowed to take up space and that soul work is leadership work.
Working with me is equal parts reflection, strategy, and real talk. I’m here to help you create alignment — in your work, leadership, and life — without losing yourself in the process. Together, we’ll make space for what’s next, move through what’s in the way, and build the confidence and clarity you need to lead from your center.
When we work together, you’re not just getting a coach — you’re getting a thought partner who knows how to hold space and get things done. I bring both heart and structure to the table: room to explore what’s possible, and a plan to help you move forward with purpose.
This is a judgment-free zone. We’ll laugh, reflect, and get real about what it takes to live and lead in alignment with who you are.
Here’s what we’ll do together:
Turn your vision into a grounded plan. We’ll take the ideas and goals floating in your head and shape them into something real and actionable — aligned with your lifestyle, energy, and values. No burnout. No chasing busy. Just intentional momentum.
Center how you want to feel. Because success without ease or joy isn’t the goal. We’ll build habits, systems, and boundaries that help you feel good while doing good.
Unpack and release what’s holding you back. Together, we’ll look at the stories and patterns that keep you stuck — the ones that whisper “play small.” Then we’ll replace them with practices that honor your growth and confidence.
Build confidence in your decisions. You’ll learn to trust your own wisdom. No more outsourcing your power or second-guessing what you already know deep down.
Blend insight with action. This isn’t just talk. You’ll walk away from each session with perspective and a plan — practical steps you can take right away.
What to Expect:
Every session is a mix of conversation, reflection, and strategy. Sometimes we’ll dig deep into mindset work; other times, we’ll roll up our sleeves and get tactical — mapping out your next move, building structure around your goals, or fine-tuning how you lead.
You can expect honesty, warmth, and accountability. I’ll challenge you — gently but directly — to stretch beyond your comfort zone while staying true to yourself.
By the time we wrap, you’ll have more clarity, more calm, and a renewed sense of confidence in your voice, your choices, and your direction.
