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
