Creating a Plan for the future
Joanne really helped me to unpick my jumbled thoughts and the barriers to my progress and career development. Her relaxed manner and incisive questions allowed me to really explore my initial thoughts and to gain a deeper understanding of what was important and needed my focus. Our sessions have allowed me to plan for the future being aware of my strengths priorities and values. (NHS Manager)
team Development Workshop
I really liked the simple ways we can think about what a team is and will try and think about how that shapes the teams I’m a part of. The case studies were the most helpful but only because the rest of it had been so well thought through and delivered. I really enjoyed the time to reflect at the end of each session and think about practical ways of working through stuff. (Director of Learning, National Charity)
Supportive Challenge
I have loved working with Jo, she's creative, pragmatic, encouraging and offers supportive challenge to my thinking. (Senior Manager)
Working with teams
Jo quickly identified the personality types, and the various approaches needed to help them get the best out of the sessions. Her understanding of the current landscape of primary care and the true challenges we face, this made the experience feel very authentic. Kind and patient and able to steer the conversations in the room back to the original topic without people feeling constrained, a true skill. (Executive GP)
It has been so helpful to have someone gently guide me
“Through coaching I have discovered that I hold the answers to questions/dilemmas that I have, and it's been so helpful to have someone gently guide me to reaching them. Being pushed to challenge some of my thinking and keep pushing until I reach an answer has been really enlightening.”
I finished feeling hopeful for the future.
“I’m not sure I could’ve reached the same outcomes alone. The exploration through conversation was brilliant and I have learnt to challenge myself, to get past myself, using the tools provided. It definitely opened up things I hadn’t thought of before. I finished my experience feeling uplifted and hopeful of the future, something I wasn’t before I started.”
Overcoming my self-built boundaries
“Having the time and safe space to step back and explore how I truly feel about work experiences is helping me unlock and work through ways to overcome my self-built boundaries which may be holding me back from my true potential.”
