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. Your words sparked meaningful conversations and reminded us all of the power we have to create change. 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.

My mind is way more focused, I am calmer

I would like to thank you for your great mindfulness meditation sessions where I gained an insight into the practice which is now becoming part of my life. I will use your recordings and listen to your calm voice to be able to practice it. My mind is way more focused, I am calmer and seem to be able to let things go a little easier and overall my moods are more balanced. You are such an inspiration!

Amazing woman and speaker

Josie has a very practical and easy approach to self development subjects and neurosciences. She is an amazing woman and speaker and I am convinced that anyone would benefit from her smart tips and great workshop.

Adjust our thinking for the better

Loved it! You bring such an interesting insight into the conversation and adjust our thinking for the better.

Josie is a great presenter

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

So many Ah ha! moments that energised me

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.

Start changing your life for the better

Met Josie at a conference, then attended one of her workshops on the weekend. She is all love and light, and amazing to be around. Josie makes her content really easy to understand, and inspires you to move forward and start changing your life for the better.

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.

A maverick and a leader

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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!
