Prior to founding her firm, Joan Lloyd & Associates, Inc., Joan was the Officer charged with Leadership and Organizational Development at Northwestern Mutual, where she led internal consulting, training and communications for more than 3,000 employees.

Joan enjoys helping her clients solve people problems and implement changes that create a more productive, healthy workplace. She says, “I find it extremely rewarding to apply my years of experience in creative ways to help each client. I get real satisfaction when a leader turns around his or her career, a team works effectively together for the first time, or a dysfunctional workplace becomes a place where people like to come to work.”
