Who are Wisdom at Work clients and how does coaching work?
Professionals, entrepreneurs, and philanthropic/NGO/United Nations leaders who make changes that make a difference. They’re successful people, scattered throughout the US, UK & Canada, who bring their visions not only into focus but also into reality. They understand that coaching isn't like getting psychological help; it's an investment in excellence, creativity, productivity, vision, aligning life and livelihood and unleashing potential. Independant studies indicate that good coaching has a minimum 150% return on investment.
The Wisdom at Work client/coach relationship is similar to the relationship between Olympic athletes and their coaches. Olympians never go for the gold without a coach - and that's not because they're weak! It's because they're strong enough to accept that a highly trained professional partner can make all the difference. The coaching field is booming - you can find a coach for almost anything almost anywhere nowadays. Dr. Carley’s experience, innate skills, credentials, and sustainable results are a rare find in the coaching field today.
Most coaching happens by telephone. Clients sign on for a set number of one hour calls, they do "homework" and they take advantage of e-mail support services. Calls are scheduled at mutually convenient times and there's a money back guarantee. A Madison Avenue executive says that coaching with Joni is her "secret weapon."
What value do Wisdom at Work clients get?
Clients use Wisdom at Work to evolve themselves and their organizations in 4 ways:
- Some clients hire us to become "unstuck." Wisdom at Work helps them increase the effectiveness and scope of what they already do. We help circumvent old habits and spark innovation. By changing aspects of operational deployment, people gain more vitality and their organizations start evolving more smoothly yet more dynamically.
- Some clients work with us through pivotal career points. Coaching provides reliable scaffolding for career building. It helps client's access and act on the power of personal vision. Transitions are more likely to be transformational, i.e. satisfying and meaningful, with a well qualified coach.
- Some clients hire us to help maintain a sort of dynamic equanimity - in other words, to stay on top of the inevitable rocking and rolling of doing business. They’re doing what they love and use us as a highly skilled check-in for maintaining clarity, for objectivity in making hard decisions, for an unconditional sounding board, for keeping eyes on the gold and feet on the path. Vital organizations manage both the ebb and flow well. Coaching helps organizations best negotiate the winds and tides of change in a way that partners, co-workers, friends and even spouses just can't.
- Some clients hire us because they’ve already achieved plenty – now it’s time to focus on legacy. Conscious dedication to the greater good changes the world. Having had responsibility for giving away over $1 million, Dr. Carley has a unique take on what money buys and what it doesn’t. Having a Doctorate in cultural transforamtion, working with United Nations departmental leaders, and sitting on countless NGO and philanthropic boards, she has an unprecedented ability to support leaders who are ready to give back. Get the best return on investment of your time, talent and/or money. Create a legacy that makes a difference.

Sustainable change happens when you address core issues because that’s how you access your wisest choices. Dr. Joni works with clients, primarily by telephone, to drill down to the values, beliefs and assumptions that drive and transform behavior. At the same time, she helps clients develop their vision and talents into work they treasure.
From the jungle to the boardroom, the classroom to the stage, from the heart and soul of the matter to the bottom line, Joni brings a unique depth and breadth of experience. The combination of thirty years of consulting, advising and teaching; a doctorate in the Reinvention of Work and Coach U grad; an innate gift for addressing core concerns; and her highly developed communication skills all contribute to exceptional insight and understanding that allow Joni to act as an inspiring facilitator, sounding board, warm mentor, wise guide, and relentless instigator. Dr. Carley shows both individuals and organizations the doors to change. And then politely, but firmly, nudges them through.
