Helping you find the right words,

and the drive to set them on the page.

Hi, I’m Joe a writer, writing coach, and mindset coach. 

If you’re looking for a steady hand, sound craft advice, and the mindset to get your story on the page, then I’m here to help.

Being a writer isn’t a dream. It’s reality we create with effort and practice. If it’s a reality you’d like, then read on, or drop me line.

What is a writing & mindset coach?

Writing coaches are mentors who focus on the craft of writing. We help a writer take their book from idea to finished product.

In addition, I also draw on positive psychology and cognitive behavioural coaching to help with the “soft” challenges of writing. Some of those include:

  • procrastination
  • perfectionism (that prevents getting started, or results in excessive rewriting)
  • self-doubt
  • stress of producing work and setting deadlines
  • anxiety that leads to not finishing a project 
  • overwhelm

Book Reviews

"The Six Attributes of a Leadership Mindset is not only grounded in solid research and the author’s rich experience, but is also brought to life with inspiring stories and practical exercises. In a refreshingly humble, thoughtful, & humorous style."
Dr Jean-Claude Pierre CEO, Scott Bader Group
“Mr. Britto shows himself to be as good at description as he is at analyzing ideas and depicting feelings. His first book is well worth reading by anyone who enjoys an unusual novel or the challenge of looking inward."
excerpt from a review in "The Source"
"Joe Britto has provided an intriguing and exciting new dimension to the journey of leadership. In a wonderfully structured, powerfully reasoned and convincingly developed framework he brings the attributes of a leadership mindset alive.
