Testimonials

A natural coach, …a good listener and… enables the coachee to follow their own journey of discovery.

Jo and I have known each other for 20 years, initially through working together at Diageo and since then has acted as a coach to me.

Jo is very experienced in all aspects of HR and has done some fantastic work in talent, leadership and change.  I consider Jo to be a natural coach, she is a good listener and is able to effectively hold up the mirror in a way that enables the coachee to follow their own journey of discovery.  She is challenging and thought provoking where appropriate and can also recognise when to ease off and create space in the conversation.

Jo ranks as one of the top facilitators I have come across in the 60+ countries that I have worked in.

I have known Jo for around 20 years.

Working with Jo has been fantastic!

Jo, working with redzebra, has been a brilliant partner as we created and launched a new leadership programme targeted at our emerging leaders across Western Europe.  Our business is undergoing rapid change and growth, so this program was key to accelerating our talent “bench” and succession.  Jo brought a truly unique energy, passion and expertise to our collaboration and ensured we challenged our thinking and approach.  Our “GROW Leadership Programme” has been a huge success and has helped to lift the profile of L&D across the region.  Working with Jo has been fantastic!

Seasoned functional expertise and strong commercial understanding.

Jo brought seasoned functional expertise and strong commercial understanding to my organisation. She is a proven leader, providing inspiration and clarity for those around her and in doing so, is able to engage across cultures and functions to bring about belief and change in people and organisational performance.  She has particular strength in coaching and facilitation and is passionate about the value of the human asset and the role that HR must play in delivering business goals.

Deep subject matter expertise, organisational savvy and authentic leadership.

Jo combines deep subject matter expertise, organisational savvy and authentic leadership in a way that adds huge value to the organisations and the individuals with whom she works. She once described herself as a “’positive irritant’ and her ability to challenge thinking in a constructive way is excellent. Jo is a breath of fresh air in what can be a stuffy world – I’d highly recommend her.

Unique level of energy, passion and sense of momentum

I have known Jo personally for more than 15 years, worked with her as a colleague during her career at Diageo and participated alongside her at a coaching development programme at Henley Business School.

Jo combines a unique level of energy, passion and sense of momentum with a deep insight into and genuine empathy for her fellow human beings. (more…)
