'My time working with Jo was transformative.  I came into the process looking for some career guidance but what I got out of it was so much more than that.  Jo has a real skill for asking the right challenging questions to get to the heart of an issue.  I came away from our sessions with more self-belief and armed with a resilience toolkit to help me in in my career and beyond.'

Samuel, Sussex


‘I was at an interesting point in my career, I gained a promotion and needed some additional support with this change. I am really pleased Jo coached me, she has a vibrancy and a kindness which helped me to be open and honest with her. During our sessions Jo used different resources which kept things fresh and enabled me to see the issues I was facing from different perspectives. I came away from our sessions feeling really calm and centred for the rest of the day. Even now I try to capture that feeling when I start to feel overwhelmed. As a result of coaching with Jo I now have a really strong and positive plan on how to develop my career and I am much more aware of the need to check in and support myself.’

Jo completed her training for ILM level 3 and progressed to ILM level 5 showing her commitment to further learning and improvement and demonstrating her ability to work effectively with managers and leaders. She has grown into an accomplished, insightful and skilled professional who I would recommend.’
