Joeann Fossland I first met Joeann at a coaching conference in Hawaii back in 2001. She opened her heart and her mind to me then and her passion, enthusiasm and support has been an inspiration to me ever since. Joeann is one of those incredible woman who just is all she wants to be.
Joann's belief in me has absolutely brought out the best in me, she has inspired me to really go for my big goals and dreams.Her support has been unconditional and she has been a driving force for me as I gained my coaching qualifications and built my business. She keeps me on track with a simple smile, I feel incredibly blessed to have met her, to have connected with her from that moment on and to have her in my life even though we live on opposite sides of the planet. Inspiring woman she is in very pore of her being and I love her dearly and will be forever grateful for her unconditional love and belief in me...I love you, Joeann. You are truly an an inspiration to me and I know to so many others....
