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!

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.

Your words sparked meaningful conversations

I want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your inspiring contribution to the Women’s Leadership Forum.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You have given me the tools

Josie you are brilliant! Your course today has helped me start to finally find the real me that’s been missing for a very long time. You have given me (with your warmth and experience of adversity) the tools to help me finally gain confidence and belief in myself. Thank you.

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.

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.

Thank you so much. This will change my life – it already has!

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.

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.

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.

Touched the minds and hearts

My heartfelt thanks go to you for your wonderful contribution to Happiness & Its Causes 2018. The conference was another great success with 1,500 people attending. Your presentation was a great addition to the program and was well received by our delegates. Thank you so much for all the effort you put into an event that touched the minds and hearts of so many people and provided insights and tools they could take back into their lives.

A lot of good content

Great presenting (I didn’t get bored!). A lot of content – was good but felt a lot to take in short time. Really enjoyed the science.

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.

This will be helpful talking and educating team members

Understanding the I want… and I don’t want… and acceptance does not mean you have to ‘like it’ will be helpful talking, educating team members reluctant to change. Using the SCARF model will be helpful too when communicating to the team when tracking jobs or just general discussions.

A ‘safe place’ to reflect on what’s important

Josie is a person who creates a ‘safe place’ to reflect on what’s important for participants. This means she lives the values of respect, authenticity and love while imparting significant knowledge in an accessible manner.
