National Conference Success

The wisdom and motivation that has inspired myself and staff this week at the national conference is phenomenal and it is all because of one person; Josie Thomson. Josie is an international speaker & presenter who has won multiple awards for her coaching. Now I know why. Immediately engaging the audience, Josie’s energy, positivity and pivotal advice can and should empower all. Audience members are encouraged to constantly take notes helping them remember what, how and why they will apply this new found knowledge in their life. I listen to and attend countless seminars, but Josie’s surpasses every single one. The positive reaction my staff has had both in their business and personal lives is evidence that this is the most outstanding seminar available. As a team, we all now think better and live better. No matter one’s position, there is always room for mental growth and Josie’s insightful outlook enables you to achieve this mind shift. It will change your life.

Josie is a wonderful and engaging presenter

I really enjoyed this workshop. I got great clarity on how the brain works and how to change my thinking. I had loads of Aha moments about why I do some things I do and how to change them. Josie is a wonderful and engaging presenter who presented this topic in a really easy to understand way.

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.

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.

Loads of Aha moments

I really enjoyed this workshop. I got great clarity on how the brain works and how to change my thinking. I had loads of Aha moments about why I do some things I do and how to change them. Josie is a wonderful and engaging presenter who presented this topic in a really easy to understand way.

I HAVE HAD THE MOST AMAZING TWO DAY WORKSHOP WITH JOSIE

I have had the most amazing two day workshop with Josie Thomson. My organisation arranged for Josie to present her Neuroscience of Leadership workshop and provided great insight into effective leadership, performance discussion and getting the best and most out of your staff. I highly recommend Josie. Josie is very engaging and her knowledge in this subject is extraordinary. You will NOT regret your investment. Thank you.

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.

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!

Amazing tips that can be used in everyday life

Josie’s presentations are full of amazing tips that can be used in everyday life. She is a maverick and a leader in what she does.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

‘Mindset’ and how to use it in daily life/work

Attitude. Perception. Changing from threat to reward. Working of questions/responses. ‘Mindset’ and how to use it in daily life/work. SCARF.

Wowsers - what an amazing story and person

I got to see Josie present at the North Queensland Injury Prevention and Return to Work conference in Townsville recently and wowsers what an amazing story and person! It was the way she told her story that got to me (lots of others too from work) something in her simplicity, authenticity, conviction, I cant quite articulate the right words. I just read an article and the easy and understandable way in which she speaks is reflected in how she writes. Normally for me, self help or how to, are a big yawn fest. I'm sold! Will be getting your book!

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.

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.
