Meet Joanne Heyman, integrative coach and founder and CEO of Heyman Partners…


Before becoming a coach, Joanne Heyman spent the first 23 years of her career in senior management and running pro-social organizations.

Joanne Heyman is a self-described anti-authoritarian who believes that deprivation is a terrible motivator and that coaching is a way to game success – both personally or professionally.


“To combat insecurity, tell yourself this: I know enough. I have enough. I am enough.” Joanne Heyman


Have you ever been too nervous to ask for a raise or charge what you think you deserve?

Does your inner people pleaser ever hold you back from getting what you want personally or professionally?

Do you find it hard to compete with other women and not take it personally?

Well lots of women do. Because women have a greater expectation placed on us, in terms of how we make other people feel.

And in this episode of Women Wanting Women Joanne Heyman helps me explore why and what we can do about it in our own lives.


During this interview Joanne Heyman shares:


  • How to relate to your inner critic…
  • How to create boundaries that allow you and your relationships to flourish…
  • How to manage and counterbalance the part of you that wants to people-please…
  • How to define success on your terms…
  • How to demand what you’re worth and stop negotiating against yourself…
  • How to powerfully reframe our perspective we feel jealous of another woman… and
  • How we can all contribute to reducing cattiness between ourselves and other women…
