Hello!
I’m Joelle Greenland (yes, the firm’s name is a play on my name), I founded Green Lands Consulting with the mission of providing holistic planning services to meet the needs of those wanting and needing effective and efficient strategies for implementing meaningful changes.
I became a planner 20 years ago because I wanted to help make people’s lives better and be a steward of the environment. Planning with intention to bring about positive change for a resilient future, that is inclusive and equitable, is a central tenet to the values of GLC.
I think strategically and get to the point. I do not waste time or resources. Knowing your “Why?” will be tantamount to working with me as it will be the first question I ask you - “Why are you choosing to do this? And why now?” The what and how will follow.
If you are ready for this, and want a strong working relationship built on open, honest and direct communication - I’m in. We’ll find what works for you and the solutions that fit your needs.
P.S. I also have an unhealthy obsession with giraffes - how can one not?!
