Jo’s approach to coaching is client centred, strengths based and facilitative. She built rapport quickly and readily adapted her methods to meet my personality style. Jo’s inquisitive style helped me uncover roadblocks in my personal and professional development. She offered tools to move past these, and at my request, held me accountable to the practices I committed to doing.

I have had the privilege of working with Jo in two capacities: firstly I have facilitated workshops for teams which Jo either leads or gives oversight; and secondly I trained and mentioned Jo in her journey to become an International Coaching Federation credentialed Coach. I observed firsthand Jo’s highly relational and collaborative style in leadership, and her great capacity to build trust and buy in with her teams.
As a Coach, Jo is fully present with her clients. She exhibits exceptional listening and questioning skills, is highly intuitive, and partners with her clients on a journey to get to the heart of the challenges/obstacles, and move forward to maximise their personal and professional potential. Her capacity to build genuine rapport and trust, and relate to people of all ages and walks of life, is key to her effectiveness as a coach.
The combination of experience, skills and attributes as a senior leader, manager and coach, enable Jo to be a very effective Leadership and Personal Development Coach. I highly recommend her without reservation.
