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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Josie has so much passion and experience

A brilliant and insightful presentation at the injury prevention conference in Brisbane,Josie has so much passion and experience it was really good to listen to get get so much information from a session.

Great work Josie.

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 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.

Practical application

I particularly found the mindset and SCARF modules valuable. I could identify areas of interaction within our team where these principles have practical application.

Thanks for a wonderful presentation

Thanks for a wonderful presentation. Josie managed to engage us in how our brain operates and how this can then be translated to the work environment. Josie gave a practical experience to it rather than making it a theoretical exercise.

It is this type of thinking that will encourage innovation in today’s public sector. It will assist us in coming up with evidence based decision making and help influence the world of tomorrow.

Thank you Josie I really loved it.

A lot of things resonated to me

Such enthusiasm and energy! Loved Josie! A lot of things resonated to me on my first workshop with Josie. Loved the way Josie make things visual which makes things easier to understand.

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.

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!
