Why book me?

Gritty reality

I lived life at the coalface for 23 years at Macsween, and I’m ready to share my heartfelt, lived experiences to encourage others.

Leadership lessons

I support and advise leaders from a wide range of sectors, including many from family businesses.

Totally engaging

Completely unlike many other cheesy leadership speeches, I share practical, relevant ideas that people can really use.

What people say

“I’ve always worried about not being sure about my future. After hearing Jo’s experiences, I am not that worried anymore. I know that I can be looking for my potential in my future.”

“You were great - interesting and relevant and gave us all a lot to think about and learn from. You helped in giving examples of how positive direction can provide business answers”.

“Jo is highly skilled at creatively communicating - and I mean all aspects of that; listening, processing and explaining.”

“I have to say I was deeply moved by your speech. Thank you for speaking from the heart, I know I was not the only one there who it touched.”
