“Almost a decade ago I had the opportunity to attend an executive leadership training course at GE’s Crotonville. where I met an executive coach who put me in check and helped me to grow so much. Her name is Joanne Ferrante Miller. She is nothing short of amazing. Seriously. I brought her on as a consultant in subsequent CISO roles and she has helped to grow my leadership teams in ways they never thought possible. Her attitude is infectious. She challenges people to push themselves and her level of empathy is off the charts. I know she is leading her own practice of coaching executives; but if you want to see amazing growth in your org…and you can get on her calendar, do it. She’s amazing.”
