Joan Owen

Joan Owen is a life-long learner who has a passion for the humanities and being of service to those in her community through coaching, sharing, conversations, and kindness. Joan believes her purpose is to be of service to others through encouraging them to be their best selves. She has been a member of the organizational committees for two Followership Conferences held in 2019 and 2023. She believes her most compelling experience has been to raise three fine and thoughtful members of the next generation who will have influence and impact in their chosen professions. Her research interests include followership, which was the focus of her Organizational Leadership Project for her MA-L. Currently, she is interested in personal values and the perceived divisiveness phenomenon during the Covid-19 Pandemic as well as followership as an interdisciplinary practice.

Joan holds a Master of Arts in Leadership (MA-L) from Royal Roads University (2017) and is a Registered Corporate Coach (2018).
