Words do not do justice to the impact Justine's training has had on us as individuals, leaders, and our organization. Brené Brown’s material is exactly what we need to take our team’s leadership to the next level and Justine was the perfect facilitator/guide on the journey.

Manager of Talent Development, Commerce Bank
Justine is one of the brave people helping leaders think differently and strive to build genuine connections with their teams. For the past few years, Justine has been a staple in our leadership development programs at Commerce Bank.
Jeff Lefton
Vice President, Psychological Associates
In my opinion, this is one of, if not the best, programs I’ve seen since I’ve been involved with St. Louis Organization Development Network. Justine’s combination of knowledge from being a therapist coupled with the Brené Brown content is a very powerful combination!
Lori Maher McCombs
Owner, Maher Group
Justine’s presentations are suited for any audience, and in particular, will help leaders build a stronger, more resilient culture. As a convention planner, I would highly recommend any of Justine’s presentations. She is a true joy to work with!

receive all the love this life has to give you
Today I taught the shame resilience and empathy lessons. Which means some really tough and important conversations around how we respond to shame and how it shows up at work, along with telling my infertility and loss story before we

be part of the healing of this world
As I teach in the courage work, emotions get first crack at writing our stories when something hard happens. More than that, though, our bodies do too. Our bodies come in to save us through fight, flight, or freeze to

life is too short to keep living from “I’ve always wanted…”
Growing up in Iowa, all my life, I've heard, "I've always wanted to see the tulips in Pella." When I was here speaking for Pella Corporation last year, I booked this trip for us. This week is decently terrible timing

You are worthy of being all of you and fully seen.
We are worthy of and deserve to be fully seen. What if you didn't compartmentalize yourself to be more consumable by the world?
