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.

It will help develop and gain trust

I enjoyed and will use the SCARF and 5 Levels of Focus today! It will help develop and gain trust to grow our team to meet further challenges.

EVERY TIME I AM LEFT FEELING HUMBLED, INSPIRED, GRATEFUL AND MOTIVATED

I have seen Josie present a number of times over the years, and every time I am left feeling humbled, inspired, grateful and motivated. I can highly recommend Josie as a speaker offering her personal and professional insights into how our brains work and how people influence and impact who we are and our happiness.

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.

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.

Come away feeling positive and armed with a strategy for life. 

Time with Josie is the best investment in life. I always learn something (many things) new and come away feeling positive and armed with a strategy for life.

I like that she is real about life not being perfect

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.

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.

SHE IS A GREAT SPEAKER, A PRACTICAL AND ENGAGING COACH AND AN INSPIRING LEADER

When Josie shares her story and advice in developing resilience you can't help but feel inspired. Inspired to be a better person, to believe in yourself and keep striving for the things you believe in. I do not hesitate to recommend Josie, she is a great speaker, a practical and engaging coach and an inspirational leader.

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

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.

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.

So generous with your knowledge and your time

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

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

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.

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.

Content really resonates

Josie’s presentation style is kind and compassionate yet forthright which helps her message and content to really resonate.

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!

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.

Made a great impact!

“Thank you for a wonderful presentation today. The feedback we got at the break was amazing and you certainly made a great impact on everyone. What an inspiration you are.”
