She helped me gain clarity and direction
First speaking with Josie I found her lovely and warm and felt like she really listened to what I was saying. Once I met her this was confirmed and I truly believed she wanted me to achieve my goals as much as I do. She helped me gain clarity and direction in important areas in my life.
I would highly recommend her to anybody hoping to do the same.
HER CALLING AS A COACH IS INSPIRATION ITSELF
Josie Thomson is one of the most amazing people I have ever met. Her generosity shows no bounds, her capacity to love and inspire stretches as far as the moon, and her calling as a coach is inspiration itself!
Josie taught me to shine the spotlight on myself and truly see my unique gifts! The only problem now is I am unstoppable!
I can’t prove it – but I’ve got a sneaking suspicion Josie is an angel in disguise! Let me know if you think I’m right!

Josie, thank you. You have done a wonderful job by summarising a wide range of tools in ½ a day. It is a great way to look at myself and address areas of improvement.
