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.

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.

Your talk resonated very much

It was a superb presentation. You discussed signposts and indicators and your talk resonated very much. More thank you will ever know.

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!

Extremely inspirational

Josie is extremely inspirational. She really knows her stuff and clearly lives by her own teachings. I like that she is real about life not being perfect and everyone, including her, having struggles in life.

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.

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.

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.

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.

JOSIE PROVIDES TACTICAL AND PRACTICAL ADVICE TO USE AS SOON AS YOU WALK OUT THE DOOR

I've had the privilege of participating in 2 workshops facilitated by Josie over the last 6 months. Josie provides tactical and practical advice to use as soon as you walk out the door with every person you encounter. Your life understanding and outlook can only improve after a session with her. Elegant, engaging, confronting. Brilliant.

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.

Take action NOW for the time of your life!!

Josie is one of the most inspirational people I have ever known, and I have been following her journey now for well over 17 years..She is life changing and and a true visionary, and it will be the best investment you will ever make in yourself and your future wellbeing. Take action NOW for the time of your life!!

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.

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 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.

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!

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.
