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

Josie you were amazing and inspirational

Josie you were amazing and inspirational so much positive energy you lit up the room. Thank you for sharing your story.

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.

So generous with your knowledge and your time

Thanks Josie for being so generous with your knowledge and your time.

Her ability to help people achieve great things is clearly evident

I have known Josie for over 8 years, during this time I have personally benefited from having Josie as a coach and mentor.

Josie is outstanding in her professionalism and her ability to help people achieve great things is clearly evident.

In a world whereby sceptics reign, Josie continues to set the highest standards and is in high demand for her unique skillset.

I have also recommended Josie as a speaker, coach and mentor to many colleagues, all of whom have benefitted from her commitment and professionalism.

On a personal note I would not and have not hesitated to recommend Josie to businesses and executives seeking to gain improvement and development both professionally and personally.

She is without peer in my opinion.

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.

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.

Josie is an incredibly engaging presenter

We were lucky enough to have Josie speak at CPA Congress in Canberra this year. Josie is an incredibly engaging presenter & gave a great practical insights into how our brains operate. Josie's lived experience & deep insights into resilience & growth make for a presentation that's inspirational & educational in equal measures. Thanks Josie.

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.

Adjust our thinking for the better

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

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!

Understanding how the brain works

My biggest take aways are understanding how the brain works, no 2 brains are the same and the two mindsets. These components alone would be a minimum to provide to my team.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.
