About Jo

Jo has survived a divorce, ovarian cancer, years of financial abuse and depression.  She is living proof that ‘what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.’

She has worked with hundreds of clients across the public, private and not for profit sectors as a coach since qualifying from Coach University, San Francisco back in 2000.

Jo has been a business owner, head office manager, trainer and a learning & development professional for the last 25 years and understands the challenges of corporate life.

Her clothing engineering and management degree, plus her post graduate Coach Training Program qualification help to give her a broad spectrum of knowledge and an approach that is grounded in working with people to perform to their best ability.

Being one of the first coaches in the UK to qualify and build a practice she has been proven by her experience of being doubly qualified as a coach supervisor who mentors both coaches and other supervisors.

Jo is a Manchester United fanatic, has appeared in 3 films (Northern Soul, Believe, and Gridiron UK), has performed on stage and small screen and is a qualified modern jive teacher. She also enjoys extreme sports (sky-diving, white water rafting, crag hopping, abseiling, etc) with her adrenaline buddy.

It has been extremely beneficial to have Jo as a coach.
Jo is easily the most uplifting, postive and wise person I know. It truly is a natural gift of hers.
I am a mature student studying for a degree, a full time carer, mother and grandmother. I also have chronic health conditions the need to be managed. So, following Jo’s coaching program has helped me to manage everything better, and give me the confidence to follow my dreams, and fulfil personal goals.
I can personally vouch for Jo, and highly recommend her coaching services.

Her knowledge enthuses any audience with renewed confidence and she exudes precise professional standards in her delivery and impresses relevant topics with a ferve and vitality that encourages group participation to enable smooth absorption of new topics and skills willingly by participants, who often want to attend her follow up and refresher training and coaching sessions.
