TESTIMONIALS
-
I am senior consultant in a busy acute speciality and for various reasons felt that I wasn’t bringing my best self to work. Jo came highly recommended as a coach and as a fellow medic I felt that she understood the challenges. My three coaching sessions have allowed me to explore my strengths and given me the confidence to consider other options and change direction. She is an excellent listener, and each session brought new insights. I have subsequently taken on a new role in the trust, and have just been shortlisted for the trust ‘Healthcare Professional of the Year’ award – a far cry from where I was 18 months ago.

‘ I came away with a sense of clarity and renewed focus, feeling empowered and validated. You enabled me to step back and look at the issues,... to think about my professional boundaries, what I enjoy in my role, how I can maximise this going forward as well as mitigate some of the more challenging aspects of my work.'

Jo organised an upskilling programme for some of our supervisors and it became clear that they valued the sessions she delivered but also talking to her during breaks. She trialled coaching sessions for some of them and the feedback was great so the offer was expanded. Giving busy supervisors time and safe spaces to reflect and work through difficult issues is a gift and Jo with her skills and vast experience is the perfect coach for them.

Thanks so much Jo - you really LISTENED and opened my eyes to some of the issues I have been fighting with! The positive assurance and feedback really helped. You made me understand what was going on and how I can help see warning signs and make changes when needed.

Jo quickly created the right balance of rapport and challenge. I have come away with my own, simple and achievable actions which will move me forward in relation to the issues I have been having around self-care and balancing work and life as a menopausal working mum!!
