I asked Josie to help us to re-shape our Leaders’ Forum

Josie has facilitated a number of sessions for QIC, working with our managers and leaders in QIC’s cultural redevelopment program. Given her previous results, her credibility with staff and the trust she had built across the leadership group, I asked Josie to help us to re-shape our Leaders’ Forum.

Josie played an important role in helping me establish a very different feel to the Forum and the behaviours of participants. As is her style, she was quickly able to get the “buy-in” of participants and establish the rules for the forum which included open, honest and free discussion. This set the scene for some active and robust discussions. Josie’s frank and outcomes orientated approach ensured that the forum delivered tangible outcomes which we are now working through as a group.

Thank you for sharing your kindness and positive energy

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.

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!

A great ‘refresh’

A great ‘refresh’ on neuroscience at a time when I really need it. Looking forward to completing the workbook and attending the next workshop.

Understanding how the brain works

My biggest take aways are understanding how the brain works, no 2 brains are the same and the two mindsets. These components alone would be a minimum to provide to my team.

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.

Better understanding of thinking and mindsets

Working with fixed mindsets and how to better understand their process of thinking and how to manage them and the situation better. This session would be advantageous to the regional teams for a better understanding of their mindsets.

I still draw on the wisdom of your words

In June 2017 I had the pleasure of meeting Josie at a work seminar in Cairns and I purchased some of her books including a set of 4 fridge magnets with inspirational messages on them.

These magnets are proudly displayed on my fridge and along with her books have helped me to achieve my goals over the last 18 months.

I am now in my own home, living my own independent happy life and I still draw on the wisdom of your words.

I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT POSITIVE FEEDBACK FROM THE TEAM

Josie was absolutely magnificent at our recent Variety Queensland’s Strategy Conference. Words cannot do justice to just how powerful and engaging her message on Resilience was to our team. It certainly does determine as to who succeeds and fails and more importantly, why! Her practical demonstrations on our thought processes and as to how we can overcome the negative and fear processes were extremely enlightening and more importantly useful.
I have had nothing but positive feedback from the team with comments such as “not only was it our best conference ever but Josie was our best ever speaker!” A huge heartfelt thank you!

I RECOMMEND JOSIE AS A SPEAKER WHO CAN HELP CHANGE PEOPLE'S PERSEPECTIVES

The QUT School of Management was privileged to have Josie as the keynote speaker at our Gala Showcase. The event was about ‘Connections’ and Josie made a huge impact on the audience with her story of challenge, resilience and openness. Her warmth and authenticity, and willingness to share showed the audience how connections are made and kept. I recommend Josie as a speaker who can help change people’s perspectives and look forward to working with her again.

One of the most genuine and insightful leaders

Well done Josie! One of the most genuine and insightful leaders in your field. Without peer as far as I am concerned!

My mind is way more focused, I am calmer

I would like to thank you for your great mindfulness meditation sessions where I gained an insight into the practice which is now becoming part of my life. I will use your recordings and listen to your calm voice to be able to practice it. My mind is way more focused, I am calmer and seem to be able to let things go a little easier and overall my moods are more balanced. You are such an inspiration!

Finding the best version of me

I love the beautiful energy and vibe that is Josie. Thank you for helping find (or be on the way to) the best version of myself.

Ideas to look at life and work in a different perspective

Two days sessions have given me enough ideas to look at the life and work in a different perspective. The thoughts and ideas shared were great. It gives a sense of awareness and more over gives you a plan to think and act in a structured way, especially in your work and professional life. I really appreciate the content of this topics and thank to Josie for explaining to us in an effective manner. Thank you again.
