About Jo

 

I am passionate about seeing people flourish and realise their potential. I am endlessly curious about people, how we relate to one another and our behaviours and I know that when we live with joy and purpose the impact on our life and the lives of those around us is immeasurable.

 

I have over 30 years experience of creating and leading teams and have worked across various organisations at the senior leadership level whilst also providing executive coaching.

 

From this experience, I am convinced that people are at their best and bring their best when they are led well and are part of a high trust, high performing team.

 

Building and growing strong leaders and leadership teams inevitably grows the individuals in the team and leads to increased momentum, purpose and fulfilment within the team.

 

My role as an executive and senior leadership team coach is to come alongside you, ask the right questions, and equip and empower leaders and their teams to achieve great results.

Testimonials

Having worked with Jo for a number of years, I can honestly say her coaching skills are exceptional in the formation of cohesive teams.  Jo works alongside individuals, helping them to become more self aware as a leader by contemplating on one's behaviours, motivations, actions and results. 
Motivational Maps is such a beneficial tool and very sought after within the company. Jo's insight when interpreting the maps is incredibly accurate and goes a long way in learning how to maximise motivation within a team. 
Jo's expertise is invaluable in developing leadership qualities, and highly functioning and motivated teams within any business.
I fully recommend going on the coaching journey with Jo.

Jo’s mentorship was transformative in building my confidence to excel. From our very first meeting, Jo’s warmth, approachability and ability to put me at ease shone out.

Jo embodies excellence in mentorship through her ability to inspire and empower while delivering tangible, transformative outcomes. Her mentoring style is exceptional, fostering a sense of trust and inclusivity that immediately puts mentees at ease.

Jo tailors her guidance to individual needs, offering pragmatic actionable solutions that address real world challenges.

In my case, as I transitioned into a demanding directorial role, Jo provided invaluable support to help me build confidence and address key skill gaps. Her mentorship went beyond addressing technical needs, incorporating personal growth and leadership mindset development in a way that felt holistic and impactful.

Jo is a unique and inspiring coach. Insightful and perceptive, she has that rare ability to really get to the ‘nub’ of an issue - supporting either the individual or team to identify solutions. I have seen how powerful Motivational Maps can be and Jo’s facilitation of this tool is second to none.
'Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery', but I am not ashamed to say that I model a lot of my own coaching behaviours on Jo -she stands out a mile and makes a tangible (and long lasting) difference to leaders.

My mentoring sessions with Jo have been invaluable. Sharing the inner workings of your business, the good, the bad and the ugly, is such a daunting prospect but Jo immediately put me at ease with her experienced coaching style and calm, approachable manner.

We discussed everything from finances and managing workload to effective leadership and contracts, with everything in between.  Jo helped me feel confident in important decision making to drive my business forward.

 Having worked with Jo for nearly 5 years, I know her to be a highly capable executive coach and strategic thinker.  Jo adds tremendous value to the strategy development process both in a team setting or in a one on one way.  She has a knack for asking the right questions to distill the core issues and draw out clarity in a whole range of complex situations.  
A main area of interest and ability for Jo is in supporting organisations to create or rebuild high functioning teams where each team member is operating at their highest potential. An essential, but often overlooked ingredient for business success.  
I would whole heartedly recommend Jo to any organisation leader looking to take their team and mindset to the next level.

Whether it's building an individual's confidence, helping someone discover their purpose, or nurturing high-functioning teams, it is always a joy to witness Jo's skill and talent as a coach.
Jo has a natural ability to ask just the right questions to help either an individual, or a team, realise their full potential. Alongside her coaching, I consistently valued her use of Motivational Maps. It's a fantastic tool to bring clarity and build trust within a team.
At a personal level, it is a privilege to have worked alongside Jo and she has made a tremendous difference to my own confidence and fulfilment within my career. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
