She is living proof that winning and succeeding in life is a mindset, and she teaches others how to embrace change due to their encounters with life challenges, sometimes in radically positive ways.

This truly is an awesome program
Through the program You Are Not Your Brain, Josie was able to demonstrate to staff how to ‘direct’ brain chemistry in order to achieve optimal performance, enhance productivity and create the best environment for innovation and creativity.
This truly is an awesome program underpinned by the neuroscience of how people collaborate with and influence others. It received such a positive response from all levels of staff (front line and executive management) that what was initially delivered as a pilot program soon become the foundation of an established curriculum for all Commercial Insurance staff across Suncorp.
I couldn't recommend it highly enough, it has brought a completely new perspective to how I approach my work and relationships, in and outside of work.
Insightful, warm and relatable presentation
Just wanted to say thanks for your insightful, warm and relatable presentation yesterday morning at the ICF. I loved it!
She genuinely cares about the people in her circle
Josie is a brilliant coach and mentor. She understands workplace (and home-place!) psychology better than anyone I've met and her clear, rational advice is always practical. I always feel better armed for the next challenge after a conversation with Josie, and she genuinely cares about the people in her circle.
