Mind Waves: Quiet Your Inner Critic Build Calm Focus and Habits That Hold
MindWaves is a 1:1 coaching package for high functioning people who look fine on the outside, but feel mentally noisy on the inside. If your mind tends to spiral, self critique, second guess, or overwork to feel safe, this work helps you build a steadier inner climate. You will learn simple mental practices you can use in real time, so you can make decisions more cleanly, recover faster, and stay focused on what matters. You will receive: • One Positive Intelligence (PQ) assessment & 60 minute debrief to interpret your results and choose a focus • 7 weeks of PQ app access for daily reps, reflections, and progress tracking with weekly 1:1 meetings (60 minutes each) to build the mental fitness skill and apply it to real situations • 6 additional private 1:1 coaching sessions (60 minutes each) to integrate the skill into your goals, habits, boundaries, and decision making over 3 months Some of the common coaching activities included in this package are: • Spotting the moments your mind flips into fear, control, perfectionism, or avoidance • Practicing quick reset techniques you can use in meetings, conflict, or decision moments • Building a personal language for what is happening internally so you can interrupt it faster • Strengthening follow-through without relying on pressure or last-minute urgency • Working with one real goal or challenge so the tools become part of your life, not homework • Creating a simple sustain plan so the change holds after the package ends

Hi, I’m Johanna Danaher. I’m a coach, a former people leader, and someone who has always been drawn to the ocean. I grew up in New York, spent my summers in Maine, and went to college in Maine. That coastal rhythm shaped me. It is probably why my work is all about helping people stay steady while they are in motion. I started out in marine biology before taking an unexpected turn into HR and leadership development. What connects those worlds is curiosity and pattern spotting. In science, you learn to observe what is happening beneath the surface, look for signals, and adjust based on what you find. That is how I coach, too. For 25 plus years at Pfizer, I led work in culture, talent, and career growth. I built and scaled programs that supported early talent, internal mobility, and leader development across a global organization. Now I bring that blend of strategy and humanity to coaching across career transitions, leadership growth, and life redesign, because most turning points touch more than one part of life. On the personal side, I’m a mom to a college aged daughter who keeps me laughing and grounded. Clients often describe me as calm, direct, and deeply supportive. We will name what is real, get clear about what matters, and build a plan you can actually follow.
