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.

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!

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.

A stronger and wiser person than I was this morning

Thanks Josie. Just the reset that I needed in my life today. I’m leaving a stronger and wiser person than I was this morning.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Josie’s energy and enthusiasm is infectious

Josie’s energy and enthusiasm is infectious. Josie shares freely her knowledge, experience and I have come away from the workshop with tools, techniques, ah ha moments and a confidence and desire to live my life to the full and my way!

JOSIE CONTINUES TO LEAD THE WAY FORWARD IN NEUROSCIENCE LEADERSHIP & COACHING PRACTICES

I have never forgotten the first time I met Josie at QUT where she presented alongside Dr Schwartz. Josie delivered a presentation in regard to the leading information technology about neuroscience which changed my life. Not only is Josie one of those very special people who dedicates her life to help others in a meaningful way... Josie walks the talk and continues to lead the way forward in neuroscience leadership & coaching practices. Josie assists others to build the resilience and self control they need to achieve to reach their full potential using her suite of neuroscience based diagnostic tools. I am now nearing the completion of my Executive Masters in Business Administration and I can see how important it is for leaders to have the right tools in order to be able to negotiate the complexity of the world today. I would encourage others to make contact with Josie. I feel certain that your life with change in many meaningful ways.

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%.

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.

I’m taking away a lot

I’m taking away a lot more than I arrived with. Can’t wait to try out some of this stuff on my colleagues (Liz!?). I think most of us will benefit hugely from it.

I would recommend this to anyone wanting to stop the stress and take charge of their life once and for all.

We can’t wait to put it into practice

The Senior Management Team at RSL Queensland were lucky enough to have Josie Thomson present an insightful leadership resilience workshop yesterday. Everyone learned a range of great neuroleadership techniques that we can’t wait to put into practice. A big thanks to Josie for inspiring our team!

Josie is an incredibly engaging presenter

We were lucky enough to have Josie speak at CPA Congress in Canberra this year. Josie is an incredibly engaging presenter & gave a great practical insights into how our brains operate. Josie's lived experience & deep insights into resilience & growth make for a presentation that's inspirational & educational in equal measures. Thanks 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.

Engaging and inspirational and I am already shifting

Great workshop today on the neuroscience of success with Josie Thomson. Thank you, your presentation was engaging and inspirational and I am already shifting my focus to the ‘I want...’ instead of the ‘I don’t want...’. I will also be more interested in mindfulness and its benefits going forward, the brain is amazing but loves being in its comfort zone way too much.

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.
