‘Jo is always a pleasure to work with. She is an experienced facilitator and coach who is client focussed and delivers great results. I look forward to working with Jo again in the future.’

‘Incredible ability to get under the surface of a brief, demonstrating exceptional understanding very quickly. As a result Jo always seems to get it right first time…..delivering outstanding results and with the ability to exceed deadlines. In addition to this Jo is highly personable, professional and also fun in her approach. I very much hope we’ll have the opportunity to work together again.‘

“Jo uses her considerable experience at top management level to suggest suitable strategies for working at Board level. She encourages those she coaches to apply her techniques to produce their own problem solutions and to manage their personal development, allowing them to own the answers, rather than applying textbook solutions. This approach is very effective and appropriate at a senior management level”.

“My firm has recently gone through some upheaval, and I feel much better able to deal with the situation following Jo’s coaching. I am much more aware of the dynamics operating in my firm, and how I can perform at my best within those dynamics. I apply her coaching at work quite consciously, and in my personal life unconsciously! I am also able to help colleagues, by applying what I have learned through this coaching. Her key strengths are her warmth, her belief that we are all capable of being more than we think, her support, her intelligence, her lightness of touch, combined with a deep understanding of how we generally (mis)function!”

“Jo’s key strengths are: She is a very good listener, who is able to draw out key points and themes from a client’s own words. In so doing she is able to help the client to simplify his thinking; to focus on the most important aspects of concern. She is always aware of how to move the client’s agenda forward, providing the discipline to set practical goals as a result of each session to move the process forward. One of her key abilities is through her sensitive listening she is able to help the client to recognise their true feelings about various subjects or courses of action, so that the personal and the logical can be reconciled. She has the commercial experience and intellectual knowledge and skills to apply to help individuals analyse their own situations. She is widely read, well trained and articulate. She is a warm and positive person who is always able to leave the client feeling more optimistic and positive about their future and the next steps. For all of the above reasons Jo is a very effective coach. I believe that she is particularly well-qualified to deal with senior people, as she herself has senior commercial experience, and she has worked with many senior people in my own industry. She also possesses the requisite poise, confidence and professionalism to work with senior people.”

“My sessions with Jo were enormously helpful and stimulating – she guided me with great care and sensitivity through a number of focussed discussions and additional tools, which opened my mind to different possibilities and helped me decide on a new direction.  Her approach was very encouraging and I enjoyed the whole process very much.”
