About Joel Junker Leadership Coaching

"Leadership is a calling to transcend oneself, to love and serve with purpose.
By empowering others to find meaning, we create a world where everyone can flourish.
Every moment is an opportunity to lead with love and leave a lasting impact."

About Me

My mission is simple—and deeply held: to help leaders understand that they can lead with love, grace, and dignity and deliver results. In fact, when leaders lead this way, results don’t diminish—they multiply. People feel empowered, trust deepens, and organizations flourish.

My leadership journey began with four years of service as an Army officer following college. That experience shaped my understanding of responsibility, character, and service under pressure. In 1999, I completed my military commitment and joined a niche recruiting firm focused on helping commissioned officers transition from military service into meaningful business careers. Over the past 25 years, I have held a variety of leadership roles within the firm, and today I serve as a Senior Vice President and Partner.
​

​I bring both practical experience and formal training to my work. I hold a BBA in Finance from the University of Notre Dame, a Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership from Gonzaga University, and an Organizational Leadership Coaching Certificate from Northwestern University. I am also a Certified Coach through the International Coach Federation (ICF).

​

Today, I live in the Texas Hill Country with my spouse. We have four grown children who live across the United States. Outside of work, I’m an avid reader and recharge through outdoor pursuits like hiking and kayaking. I love dogs, good conversation, and nothing more than sitting on the back patio with a glass of wine, surrounded by family and friends.

Who I Coach

I provide leadership coaching and consulting services to mid-level and executive leaders in for-profit and non-profit organizations. My expertise extends to various industries and sectors, empowering leaders to achieve their full potential and lead with purpose and integrity.

My Approach

I serve as a guide and partner walking alongside individuals and organizations. You don't need to do this alone. My coaching and consulting will help you answer the toughest leadership questions: What are my deepest desires as a leader? How do I want to lead? How do I want to serve? What don’t I want as a leader? How do I want my organization to be different because of my leadership? What does this require of me? 

What You Will Learn

You will learn to navigate conflict, make difficult decisions, coach, provide constructive feedback, and hold individuals accountable with the perspective of loving and serving. You will learn to have a greater sense of purpose and meaning, feel lighter, and be in touch with your authentic higher self, allowing you to create organizations where employees and members feel the same, living their values, flourishing, and serving others.
