TESTIMONIALS

What impressed me most about Joanne was her depth of HR knowledge and expertise, as well as her ability to coach me on some challenging people issues. I valued her direct, supportive and thoughtful approach. I highly recommend Joanne for any opportunity!
~Marlo Derkson, PhD, PCC

Joanne is a thoughtful, transparent, and professional Talent leader. I had the pleasure of working with Joanne on various talent-related activities, such as mentoring employees, developing rotation/work assignments, and addressing professional development accommodation requests. In every instance, Joanne made herself available. Her timely professional coaching helped me transition into new roles successfully.

Chinue Uecker, DBA, MBB

Joanne skillfully managed human resources and recruitment functions, and then stepped into a newly-created and very demanding position while here at the school district, managing a multitude of employee relations and labor relations issues. She was the sole HR representative working with building principals and administrators from 60 different elementary, middle and high schools throughout our district. She conducted investigations, facilitated the implementation of progressive discipline, coached managers and supervisors and acted as the liaison between the district’s human resources and legal offices. Her role required her to be knowledgeable of all applicable state and federal legislation and many administrators and managers relied upon her expertise. She is conscientious in her work and never failed to follow-up with her colleagues to complete her responsibilities.

Beth Berg

Joanne was the most competent and critically thinking HR person with whom I have worked. Our organization was undergoing a lot of change and Joanne had the ability to talk me off the ledge while giving sage advice and keeping her boundaries between work, personal, and organizational. There were intense emotions and everybody had stakes in the game and Joanne made me feel like my time, concerns, and celebrations were important to her.

She has the rare skill of listening and empathizing which makes navigating the complex world of human experience a requirement....and a gift. I am still following some of the coaching she gave me and I would not hesitate to send anybody her direction.
~Christiane Levine, RN, LSSBB

I've worked with Joanne in various capacities over the past two decades, and she has always been a superb professional. She has a way of empowering people, no matter their job role. She is an excellent speaker who can present dense information in an easily digestible way. You will not be disappointed if you hire Joanne for your next event. You will be wowed by her presentation, and you will leave feeling empowered, motivated, and knowledgeable.

~Angela Kenzslowe, PsyD, MBA

 I had the pleasure of working with Joanne on a wide range of HR/talent related activities and can say beyond a doubt that she is a consummate HR/talent professional. Together we hired new talent, managed infractions of company policy and inappropriate workplace behavior, addressed workplace accommodation requests and collaborated on the best approach to appropriately manage a layoff that impacted nearly a third of my team. Throughout every circumstance Joanne brought her very best self and provided a solid foundation of expertise, knowledge and support. Her thoughtful and professional coaching and guidance helped me to be a better leader, and ensured that my decisions were not only in the best interests of the employees and the company but also fully compliant with US Virgin Island labor laws and best practices. Highly recommended!

Dan McWhorter

Joanne is a highly organized, smart, and dedicated professional who hits deadlines and goes above and beyond what is expected. She co-wrote a PHR/SPHR certification practice exams book for me when I was an Editor at McGraw Hill Education and consistently delivered top quality manuscript on time. She is a pleasure to work with and always brings new ideas and insights to our conversations. Joanne is not only good at her job, but also great at helping other professionals improve their HR work.
~ Stephanie Evans
First and foremost, I really liked working with Joanne! I always found Joanne to be a transparent, high performing, knowledgeable, business savvy, and personable leader in Human Resources and People Management. Joanne wasn't afraid to tackle the tough issues and she understood how to navigate the organization. When I welcomed Joanne in my office, it was always a collaborative discussion, she provided her thoughtful point of view and valued other perspectives. Her wealth of knowledge and experiences were a true asset to me as a leader. 
~Marly Heidkamp, COO

 What impresses me the most about Joanne is her coaching abilities, helping others to navigate difficult situations in the workplace. She communicates effectively and has excellent problem-solving skills.

Sandy Bellot

I had the pleasure of working with Joanne Simon-Walters for her TEDX Saint Thomas 2017 speech as an event organizer. This process is more complicated than it looks: preparation includes months of practice and planning with a group of volunteers. Joanne was passionate, prompt, dedicated, willing to listen, and willing to help others throughout the planning. We were very lucky to have Joanne and her message as part of TEDX Saint Thomas. Thank you Joanne!
