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.

A real difference to my life

Wonderful as always Josie. Knowing you helps me so much and makes a real difference to my life.

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.

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!

I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT POSITIVE FEEDBACK FROM THE TEAM

Josie was absolutely magnificent at our recent Variety Queensland’s Strategy Conference. Words cannot do justice to just how powerful and engaging her message on Resilience was to our team. It certainly does determine as to who succeeds and fails and more importantly, why! Her practical demonstrations on our thought processes and as to how we can overcome the negative and fear processes were extremely enlightening and more importantly useful.
I have had nothing but positive feedback from the team with comments such as “not only was it our best conference ever but Josie was our best ever speaker!” A huge heartfelt thank you!

‘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.

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.

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.

What an inspiration you are

Awesome Josie, What an inspiration you are, and I certainly agree with Mikes sentiments.. your teachings are always uppermost in my mind after we started our journey together nearly 17 years ago...Forever grateful.

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.

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

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.

Knows what she’s talking about

Josie is very engaging and knows what she’s talking about. I find it helpful on changing to the reward focus.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
