Lots of valuable insights

I’m very glad I was invited to attend. Josie has highlighted lots of valuable insights to understanding others in relation to myself. I have a greater understanding of how the brain works under different circumstances. Thank you!

Highly relevant and inspirational session

During these unprecedented times, resilience and mindfulness is something we all need in spades to deal the added stress and anxiety of the current circumstances. The key principles of emotional resilience and fundamental wellness strategies shared by Josie at the workshop was instrumental in to being able to regulate emotional response, gain clarity and cope successfully in challenging times of change. Thank you Josie for a highly relevant and inspirational session!

Amazing woman and speaker

Josie has a very practical and easy approach to self development subjects and neurosciences. She is an amazing woman and speaker and I am convinced that anyone would benefit from her smart tips and great workshop.

THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER ATTENDED

Josie there is a reason I chose rating ‘1’ on the feedback form. Because my
expectations were negative, and based on a fixed mindset. This presentation was THE
BEST THING I HAVE EVER ATTENDED.

She has so much energy and joy for her craft

Josie’s story is amazing. She has so much energy and joy for her craft. I’m so fascinated by her ability to recognise the importance of neuroscience so many years ago. She has inspired me to make some changes in my career.

It will help develop and gain trust

I enjoyed and will use the SCARF and 5 Levels of Focus today! It will help develop and gain trust to grow our team to meet further challenges.

Knows what she’s talking about

Josie is very engaging and knows what she’s talking about. I find it helpful on changing to the reward focus.

Useful and easy to understand and follow

Thank you for sharing your kindness and positive energy with us – it is very inspiring to watch you do what you’re meant to be doing in life. The information provided was useful and easy to understand and follow.

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!

I want to share this with everyone!

A wonderful workshop – so many Ah ha! moments that energised me and reminders from our coaching. I want to share this with everyone! Especially my husband. Your presentation style is so easy to engage with – I’m very grateful to have you in my life. Thank you.

JOSIE HAS A WONDERFUL ABILITY TO DELIVER A RELEVANT AND THOUGHT PROVOKING MESSAGE

I rarely give recommendations however if you genuinely want to learn and develop then Josie will be the catalyst to make it happen!
She is exceptional in her presentation skills and product knowledge and has a wonderful ability to deliver a relevant and thought provoking message.
I have attended a workshop with Josie and also utilised her DVDs and it is a pleasure to find content that is extremely practical, informative and dynamic.
She is a delight to learn from and I highly recommend her Resilience workshop.

If anyone deserves to be called a Master Coach it is Josie Thomson

I have known Josie for some six years and have had nothing but positive experiences with her. She coached me the first time we met and I was very impressed by her insight, her skill and her persistence. She has won several awards for her coaching. She has the very unusual ability to be able to complete a large number of coaching sessions in a day without tiring or fading. On the personal side she is a very good mother of two great children and her people skills are outstanding. She is also extremely bright, quick on the uptake and worldly wise, and I have no doubt that she will be an asset to the program.

Since all the things I want to say about Josie are superlatives, I thought I should add some weakness to show that my view is balanced. The truth is that I can find nothing about her to criticize. If anyone deserves to be called a Master Coach it is Josie Thomson, except she is very feminine. I have known her for many years and she has coached me on a number of occasions very successfully, and I am no push over. She is challenging, tough and persistent in the most gentle and caring way. I have grown much from working with her. Furthermore she really enjoys coaching people and devotes an inordinate amount of her time doing so without getting bored or stale. When coaches really genuinely enjoy coaching, they give of their very best and Josie does just that. I would trust her with my vulnerabilities any day.

Such a style leaves the audience saying to themselves “I must do it” rather than “I would like to do it”.

I have attended three presentations of Ms Thomson during which she espoused the value of “Coaching” to representatives from corporate organisations as well as interested individuals from the local communities. These presentations were to audiences ranging from forty through to four hundred attendees. Josephine has an engaging style that is inclusive for the audience by means of Josephine referencing audience members at regular intervals throughout her presentation is one of the numerous delivery techniques used. The many and varied benefits and applied philosophies of Coaching are communicated with a passion that cannot emanate from the almighty dollar.

What makes Josephine different from the many other presenters I have endured over the years is that Josie makes the content “real” and it is delivered with absolute credible belief from her heart. Such a style leaves the audience saying to themselves “I must do it” rather than “I would like to do it”. Alas therein lays Josephine’s strength and the coaching fraternity’s weakness. Josie has truly set the “Bar of Expectation” for delivery so immeasurably high for potential clients and coaches alike. I like many others who have attended her presentations and Art of Coaching training forums have been left questioning ourselves was it the content or was it the presenter who made the difference. Invariably the answer was the presenter and her natural and very "real" approach.

Rated the presentation the best they had seen

Great session and always love hearing from Josie. She was a keynote speaker at our Hairhouse conference last August and our network rated her presentation one of the best they had seen. Can thoroughly recommend any business tapping into Josie’s life experience.....it’s transformative.

Loads of Aha moments

I really enjoyed this workshop. I got great clarity on how the brain works and how to change my thinking. I had loads of Aha moments about why I do some things I do and how to change them. Josie is a wonderful and engaging presenter who presented this topic in a really easy to understand way.

Your words sparked meaningful conversations

I want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your inspiring contribution to the Women’s Leadership Forum. Your insights, passion and enthusiasm not only made a lasting impact but also filled us with hope for the future of leadership. Your words sparked meaningful conversations and reminded us all of the power we have to create change. Through your experiences and wisdom, you’ve given us the confidence to move forward with purpose and optimism. Thank you for being part of our very important event and for your dedication to empowering women leaders.

You had the team very engaged, entertained and inspired

Firstly a big thank you Josie for facilitating a very interesting knowledge sharing workshop to our team.

I would think for many of our team this would be the first workshop they have witness where the content was key to each person individually.

You had the team very engaged, entertained and inspired.

What resonated most is the detailed description of the brain and how the different sections of the brain work simultaneously to provoke thoughts and actions.

I am sure you inspired many that you are what you think you are and that everyone has the skills to make change in their life.

Lots of practical and applicable lessons

Josie is fun, inspirational, knowledgeable and free and open with her advice, guidance and tips to help me live my best life. Josie makes a few hours flash by in an instant and I am taking away with me today lots of practical and applicable lessons to help me get what I really want in my life.

The best investment in life

Time with Josie is the best investment in life. I always learn something (many things) new and come away feeling positive and armed with a strategy for life.

You connected so well with the audience

Josie, I know you have a wealth of knowledge and experience, and have changed many lives. As you know I was fortunate to personally experience one of your recent presentations and I was so impressed with the way you presented, it was exceptional. You connected so well with the audience, creating trust and providing high-quality education in an entertaining style for a considerable amount of time. Congratulations, and I know with your knowledge, experience and talents, you will excel to a much bigger 'stages' in the future.
