Thank you for sharing your kindness and positive energy with us – it is very inspiring to watch you do what you’re meant to be doing in life. The information provided was useful and easy to understand and follow.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Insightful, warm and relatable presentation

Just wanted to say thanks for your insightful, warm and relatable presentation yesterday morning at the ICF. I loved it!

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.

I still draw on the wisdom of your words

In June 2017 I had the pleasure of meeting Josie at a work seminar in Cairns and I purchased some of her books including a set of 4 fridge magnets with inspirational messages on them.

These magnets are proudly displayed on my fridge and along with her books have helped me to achieve my goals over the last 18 months.

I am now in my own home, living my own independent happy life and I still draw on the wisdom of your words.

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!

ByTheRules Conference Success!

I would like to pass on, how much bytherules enjoyed your wealth of knowledge and expertise at our conference on Saturday. It was great to see everyone so engaged and keen and the areas you talked about being brought up in conversations throughout the rest of the day (and will be for weeks to come)! Very inspiring and lots certainly taken away from the day.

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.

Inspiring, full of touching moments and motivation

Fantastic session with Josie Thomson at the ‘Crossing Bridges in Coaching’ conference organised by ICF Queensland chapter. Inspiring, full of touching moments and motivation to follow our calling.

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!
