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.

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.

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.

ByTheRules Conference Success!

I would like to pass on, how much bytherules enjoyed your wealth of knowledge and expertise at our conference on Saturday. It was great to see everyone so engaged and keen and the areas you talked about being brought up in conversations throughout the rest of the day (and will be for weeks to come)! Very inspiring and lots certainly taken away from the day.

A great ‘refresh’ at a time when I really need it

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

JOSIE PROVIDES TACTICAL AND PRACTICAL ADVICE TO USE AS SOON AS YOU WALK OUT THE DOOR

I've had the privilege of participating in 2 workshops facilitated by Josie over the last 6 months. Josie provides tactical and practical advice to use as soon as you walk out the door with every person you encounter. Your life understanding and outlook can only improve after a session with her. Elegant, engaging, confronting. Brilliant.

Come away feeling positive and armed with a strategy for 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.

What an inspiration you are

Awesome Josie, What an inspiration you are, and I certainly agree with Mikes sentiments.. your teachings are always uppermost in my mind after we started our journey together nearly 17 years ago...Forever grateful.

Josie is a great presenter

Josie is a great presenter. The presentation was very useful and enjoyable.

How inspiring and useful

This morning we had Josie Thomson present to 70 C-level leaders. The room was entranced for the whole session and the main topic of conversation for the rest of the day has been how inspiring and useful Josie’s presentation was. One participant said tonight he has been attending conferences and forums for 20 years, and this is the first time he has ever discussed what he got from a session with his wife! Josie’s combination of warmth, authenticity and science is unique, and her message is universal. I would have no hesitation in recommending Josie as a keynote for any conference.

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

Your session was THE most popular

I just wanted to thank you again for your generosity in sharing your knowledge at the Masterclass last week. Based on informal and formal feedback, everyone left inspired with lots of useful, evidence-based insights, which was our vision. And your session was THE most popular with a satisfaction rating of 92%.

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.

SHE IS A GREAT SPEAKER, A PRACTICAL AND ENGAGING COACH AND AN INSPIRING LEADER

When Josie shares her story and advice in developing resilience you can't help but feel inspired. Inspired to be a better person, to believe in yourself and keep striving for the things you believe in. I do not hesitate to recommend Josie, she is a great speaker, a practical and engaging coach and an inspirational leader.

From the conceptual to the very practical application

The work on ‘values’ was excellent and took me from the conceptual to the very practical application in my life! Thanks Josie.

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.

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.

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.

Saw that the power was in me to change things

You challenged my negativity Josie. Saw that the power was in me to change things! Thank you!

Her ability to help people achieve great things is clearly evident

I have known Josie for over 8 years, during this time I have personally benefited from having Josie as a coach and mentor.

Josie is outstanding in her professionalism and her ability to help people achieve great things is clearly evident.

In a world whereby sceptics reign, Josie continues to set the highest standards and is in high demand for her unique skillset.

I have also recommended Josie as a speaker, coach and mentor to many colleagues, all of whom have benefitted from her commitment and professionalism.

On a personal note I would not and have not hesitated to recommend Josie to businesses and executives seeking to gain improvement and development both professionally and personally.

She is without peer in my opinion.

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.
