HERE'S WHAT CLIENTS SAY

"Coaching with Jo has benefitted our firm because it helped encourage one of our managers to address and overcome some issues that were holding her back a little. Through this process she has more confidence and self-awareness, and a more positive outlook on things. This has helped in how she manages her team, in how she interacts with senior management, and crucially in how she manages herself which has a positive knock-on effect to everything.
I would recommend coaching to other managers, especially for people coming into a management or more senior role, because it is dedicated one to one time to really develop the skills that you need.
​
Your own traits, characteristics and emotional intelligence are key to being successful so having some support can really help to produce effective managers or leaders. A lot of things with a senior role can’t be learnt from books, and coaching helps people uncover skills and mechanisms they might not have realised they had."
- Partner (Accountancy)
"I really can’t recommend Jo highly enough.  We engaged her services for one of our newly promoted managers in order to improve confidence and encourage a step change in approach.  The change we have seen in her is more than we could have wished for.  We not only got all of the things we were hoping for but also got improved engagement, positive feedback (internally and externally) and improved productivity from the manager and the team she is leading! Jo is approachable, knowledgeable and encourages people to challenge their own thinking and responses in a positive and empowering way. 
​
Anyone lucky enough to be coached by Jo has an incredible opportunity for personal development and growth and I would strongly encourage you to fully immerse yourself in the process for maximum benefit.
We will certainly be using Jo again in the future!"
- General Manager
"I’d like to thank you for working with us not only as individuals but as a team.  Who would have thought ice breakers could be so much fun! These were fab! 
​
You taught us to work as one, to trust each other and be open and honest and this to me is key when working as a management team.  That it’s ok to say no, it’s ok to delegate and to prioritise – in a nut shell you were just amazing!  An experience I’ll take with me on my journey to being the best manager I can be! Once again thank you."
- Manager
Jo has been a blessing to us. She has driven change management, accountability ethos, leadership development, and unity with a newly formed management team. Her confidential approach brings comfort to my employees whilst ensuring they are coached to work out a plan for themselves and grow in confidence to be the leader they are called to be. Highly recommend.
Commercial Director
Jo was recommended to me by a third party when I was looking for someone to assist with improving team working. I had undertaken colour profiling at a previous employer and was keen to share the benefits with my current colleagues. From the moment I engaged with Jo, she has listened, engaged, and worked as a partner to the business to get the desired end result for us all.

She constructed a workshop that was engaging and interactive for all, and everyone came away with a better understanding of each other. Since the workshop, the team have used what they learnt to assist them in engaging with their fellow team members more constructively, and all have worked more closely together to bring out the best in each other.

As well as enhancing the team's ability to work together, the profiling also enabled them to understand more about themselves and how they react to others and certain situations. They all welcomed the opportunity for some self-learning and development.
I would highly recommend Jo to anyone wanting to enhance their team working or just learn more about themselves. Jo definitely has the skills and experience to help you do just that.
HR Manager
Jo has provided coaching to seven members of our team and has been outstanding. With an engaging, approachable, and friendly style, her positive energy makes it almost impossible not to leave feeling motivated, confident, and inspired across a range of personal development areas. We’re truly grateful – thank you, Jo!
Head of People
Jo is an incredibly supportive, astute and insightful coach, who is always willing to genuinely listen and offer a perspective I may have missed.
Our sessions were well-structured and felt like a natural conversation, giving me a much firmer grasp now of my goals, aspirations, and areas of improvement for my business.

Jo didn’t ever pertain to have all the answers, but encouraged me to discuss issues until we arrived at a place of clarity and growth. This led me to feel comfortable, empowered, and excited at the end of each session. What I find most refreshing is that while Jo has her own invaluable business experience, she doesn't ever use this as a blueprint - she understands how each business is different and creates avenues of conversation that sometimes lead to surprising realisations.

I find Jo to be empathetic and nurturing, with a sharp commercial acumen that has helped me improve myself as a CEO, as well as my relationships with employees, stakeholders, and clients. Her approach is one defined by honesty, authenticity, and forthcomingness.
My business is now stronger than ever, with an expanded workforce and growing revenues, and I can confidently attribute part of this to Jo and her coaching sessions, which helped me challenge assumptions, commit to a personal growth plan, and empower myself. I would wholly recommend her to anyone who is serious about levelling up, both personally and professionally.
Business Owner
As a team we’d become quite disjointed and disconnected, and Jo has been instrumental in bringing us back together. Even though we were all working towards the same goal, none of us were clear on the impact we each had. Now we communicate more effectively and understand the challenges and restraints other teams have, and are also able to celebrate success outside of our own teams more effectively, leading to greater engagement across the business.
Manager
After an enthusiastic start, our new team member began to struggle with how she approached the role, lacking self-belief and confidence. We knew she was more than capable of achieving great things, and we bought Jo on board to support her.

From the first coaching session we noticed a considerable difference: she was more confident, faced situations and resolved them with great success, and moved forward with ideas. Now she’s a strong member of the team, thriving in her role, and for that I thank Jo very much.
The benefits to the employee and the company are well worth the investment and with the results achieved with Jo’s help, we would not hesitate to work with her again.
