JoAnne Funch’s #1 core value is connection. That value defines what her business believes and is the key principle for guiding other professionals from making random connections to making strategic and high-value connections that result in more profitable, long-term opportunities.
As a connector, she was always that person everyone could count on to plan the family get-togethers, pick-up the phone first to reach out to old friends, write a personal note in every Christmas card, and throw the parties at her house.
She was also raised with entrepreneurship in her blood! Both parents were business owners and she caught that bug early. What she learned from them was respect, resilience, integrity, guts, and compassion.
Since 2008, JoAnne has applied her core value of connection along with honing her skills on LinkedIn as a tool for business, reputation management, thought leadership, job opportunities, and brand exposure to empower others to build a brand worth following!
