HER GENEROSITY IS BOUNDLESS AND HER COMMITMENT UNWAVERING

Josie Thomson has the most extraordinary ability to hear the unsaid, understand the real issues and say the one thing that is most needed to be said to unlock the answers that we have within. Her generosity is boundless and her commitment unwavering. It has been a privilege to be coached by Josie as she has made as enormous difference to my work and life.

I HAVE BECOME A BETTER LEADER

Coaching with Josie Thomson has helped me join the dots in respect to many things that I have intuitively felt or thought and matched them with greater knowledge and understanding.

Understanding how people think and react in specific situations, myself included, has helped me to be more mindful, more present, more engaged and ultimately more purposeful. It has allowed me to manage some of my frustrations and continue to drive the foundation forward no matter the obstacle.

I thought I was coming to coaching to be a better CEO… I think that has been secondary. What I have learnt has helped me be a better person. And by virtue of that I have become a better leader.

Josie has helped me join the dots and given me perspective. She has given me real tools that have assisted me and I am now more reflective and even more self-analytical.

I have taken more responsibility for how I am perceived and for my actions and am not as distracted by the inconsequential.

Hey Josie you rocked

Hey Josie you rocked. I got a lot out of it and thank you for sharing your journey. My heart went out to you hearing about the adversity you have experienced but I was happy to hear how resilient and powerful it has made you as an individual. I am sure husband and children get inspiration from that every day – probably don’t mess with you as well – again a really great session and was happy to experience it. Thank you again. Peter

Thankful ThursdayThis week I acknowledged the birthday of a much loved loved one who died almost two years ago. It still feels somewhat surreal and yet my heart knows that my reality is forever changed. I’m grateful to have the awareness to witness the interplay between the battling thoughts of my mind that wish things to be different, and the serenity and acceptance that resides within the depth and stillness of my heart’s intelligence. As the years pass, I’m learning to live in attunement and alignment with my heart. I’ve learned that I can trust its guidance more than the fleeting urges of distress thoughts that seek to comfort me in some way, yet create more disturbance due to resistance or non-acceptance of reality. This shift from head to heart-centred living has been a progressive and evolutionary journey. Despair is now discovery: grief is gratitude; and pain is power. I’ve discovered a possibility of creating an inner alchemy that has resulted in less suffering and more freedom to live life ‘out loud’ and fully - learning from and embracing the full spectrum of emotions along the way. I intend to teach how I’ve done this. I’ve realised that part of my mission is to uplift others by sharing my journey and what I’ve learned - showing how to be a more conscious and powerful creator in your life. I’m so grateful to know that I can transform the perception of loss into a deeply felt bow of gratitude to what was. An honouring, a treasuring of memories. An unattached awe of the gift it was. And to step forward into life's unfolding and new adventures with a fearless and open heart. This doesn’t happen over night. You must be gentle, kind and patient with yourself, allowing the unfurling of difficult emotions to be felt and eventually become breakthroughs that will provide wisdom and strength to carry on. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that nothing is permanent nor ever truly mine to keep. To hold, yes. To treasure, yes. But never to keep. So I look up each day in deep appreciation, and I walk in gratitude, mindfulness and awe. And I thank you for sharing my journey with me. Jx
