Joanne Eckton
Joanne is a transformational leader, a widely recognized expert in aligning teams to perform with purpose and improve performance. Her passion is for transforming the workplace so that employees are inspired by what they do and the companies in which they work.
We all know someone who can't wait to quit their job to go do something fun, to start their own business, or to retire... We spend so much time at work, wouldn't it be great if work helped us build the life of our dreams, rather than dreaming of the day when we can escape?
The "future of work" disruptions in business today dictate an evolution of leadership thinking. Audiences love Joanne's practical strategies that enable them to make this shift while driving up project success rates, employee retention and overall employee happiness on the job.
Joanne provides workshops, keynotes, training and one-on-one consulting centered on leading in technology, women in technology and project management. Joanne is an award winning speaker, creator of the Team Maximizer Framework™ and author of "Make Your Job Great: How to Step Up, Own Your Space and Get Your Boss off Your Back".
With a strong background in technology leadership and managing teams of various sizes and shapes all around the world, Joanne is able to bring real-world practical experience to organizations who want a program that not only inspires and educates, but also challenges audiences to rise to the challenge of leading teams to increased productivity, results and team cohesion.

~Caleb Reimers, EFM Events
"Along with her humor and energy, she brought real life challenges with practical, tested solutions that gave our members tactical information they could use the very next day.

~Ryan Tabor, Project Management Institue
"Her presentation had that wonderful balance of professionalism presented in a real and meaningful way. The audience was rapt with the simplicity and relevancy of the message and they nearly depleted her book supply at meetings end. I highly recommend Joanne Eckton as an effective speaker that is considerate in tailoring the message to any group."
~Leah Jack, Executive Director, Donelson Hermitage Chamber of Commerce
