Testimonials
I was in a new leadership role and felt I didn’t deserve it, lacked in confidence. As a result of working with Jo, I felt empowered to trust my instincts and show my leadership skills. I started to believe that I did deserve it and was a capable leader.
I would certainly recommend participating in any programs with Jo – be they individually or with a group. Jo’s wealth of knowledge and resources at her fingertips make for a rewarding experience. Jo’s approach was one where I learned to apply practical techniques rather than just consider theory.
