Restore and ‘reset’ the real you
Professional competence and the benefit of surmounting the challenges and accumulated life skills gained over more years than one cares to count, mean little when an emotional tsunami hits you. Reeling from the unexpected force of a blow with the capacity to destroy you, your intelligent self tells you that you need help, but the suddenly emotionally incompetent resident in your body just doesn’t know where to turn. What help do I actually need? Where do I go to find it? I was fortunate to have as a friend, colleague and fellow Telstra Business Woman of the Year Finalist Qld 2005, who I thought might help me. Yes, I called Josie Thomson and am incredibly grateful for the inspiration that led to that decision. Josie helped me to see a clear pathway forward that was arrived at by working openly and honestly with her over several sessions, covering many months. Her methodology is fascinating as it is gentle, imbued with empathy, drawing courage out of you to face the forces that have engulfed you. However she is quietly firm and offers constructive considerations designed to restore and ‘reset’ the real you. Whether by tears or laughter, deep conversation or dedicated pursuit to the inner self, Josie’s product is unique; she is a beautiful soul who delivers a world-class, life coaching, professional service through understanding gained by the challenges of her own life’s pathway and her pursuit of professional qualifications and knowledge. Her body of work is impressive working with high profile executives and corporations in Australia. Therefore, based on my own experience and professional association with Josie, it is my absolute pleasure, without reservation, to highly recommend her for personal or professional consultation where a deeper understanding and awareness of self is considered the cornerstone for success.
