Kind words from my clients

  • I cannot recommend Jo and her Thrive program enough. I recently completed her introductory course and was blown away. The program offers a wealth of valuable information, practical tips, and effective tools to help you make meaningful changes in your life. The approach is sustainable and manageable, ensuring that the changes feel achievable and don't overwhelm you. If you're seeking personal or professional growth, I highly encourage you to reach out to Jo and embark on your transformative journey. I've made significant strides and haven't looked back since.

    - Sam Groeber

  • “I had a very positive experience with Jo Hall and the participants on the Thrive course. I learned a lot about myself and understand myself better as to why I react in certain situations. I really enjoyed the health subject ie sugar, insulin resistance etc. I would definitely recommend the course to anyone who wants to dig deeper and build on leading a more positive life.”

    — Marisa

  • “The Thrive programme was so helpful in introducing new ways to help me improve my health and wellbeing, allowing me to create new habits and a more positive mindset. I met some great people and we loved learning and sharing together. Jo is a great facilitator. Her knowledge and skills in supporting others is fantastic! I Would highly recommend the Thrive programme.”

    — Anna

  • “Thrive helped me through a very challenging time in my life with personal issues as well as work situations. The tools and techniques that we learned over the 12 weeks were incredibly powerful and were an absolute game changer for me personally. The group formed a bond and a trust which was very special and having the individual opinions and support was truly invaluable. I would highly recommend Thrive to anyone looking to learn how to deal with certain challenges in life, learn some very interesting facts and techniques and if you want to make a difference to your well-being in general just go for it!”

    — Helen

  • “Jo clearly knows her stuff, but what sets Jo apart is her honesty and openess about sharing techniques that work for her, alongside her genuine desire to want to help others. She also has an amazing ability to bring a group together with real empathy and kindness. As someone who is living with early onset Parkinson’s disease, Thrive gave me lots of tools and techniques to use in different areas of my life.”

    - Angela

  • “I was fortunate to have access to 6 coaching sessions with Jo. It’s been a hugely rewarding experience. Jo asks questions that allow me to reflect on my own skills and knowledge encouraging me to recognise my own goals and values. Jo has a friendly approach that encourages a supportive space promoting the opportunities for me to develop insight into areas I may wish to develop both personally and professionally. I would highly recommend coaching with Jo.”

    - Francesca Wreba-Jaworska, Deputy Macmillan Information Manager, Macmillan

  • “Jo brings a fantastic energy to the room and in everything she delivers. She is clearly an expert in her field and combines that expertise with a high level of emotional intelligence to deliver real value and impact for clients. Jo worked with us in a sensitive and challenging client environment (Fire Services) and delivered high quality work as part of a wider coaching team. She is a positive and constructive team player who easily transitions between individual or team engagements. “We would love to work with Jo again and would highly recommend her.”

    - Campbell Walker, Director, 31ten Consulting

  • “As a coach myself, I was really pleased to find Jo because I value her coaching style. Jo’s approach is authentic, knowledge-sharing, and warm. Jo establishes a good coaching relationship, her curiosity gets into the weeds and draws out realisations, asking great questions to help me work out my next steps both short and long-term.”

    - Sallie Martin, UK Hydrographic

  • “Working with Jo was refreshing and enlightening. Her professional and empathetic approach allowed me to explore and understand myself, my interaction with others and my career through a new lens. I loved the evidence-based approach she took, gently challenging where needed, and encouraging throughout. Her choices of reading and CPD were thoughtful, highly relevant and enabled me to get a deeper insight. As with all such things its real value is what you do with it and this is where Jo excelled, having a plan and making positive changes going forward has been fun, my time with her is the gift that keeps on giving.”

    - Chris Parry, Admiralty

  • “There is something quite special about the way that Jo can quickly but authentically develop a relationship and rapport with a group of people she may not have ever met before.  Her approach to tackling those knotty and often complex issues is both challenging and supportive with a real focus on solutions. Her energy, creativity and drive does not overwhelm but encourages thinking and development, which I have seen groups and individuals respond to in a very positive and productive way on many occasions.”

    - Sam Hepplewhite, NHS South East London ICB

  • “I have known and worked closely with Jo for nearly 18 months and I continue to be amazed at her work ethic, professionalism and knowledge. She is an inspirational colleague who always has time for others, is constantly smiling and never fails to deliver positive and appropriate outcomes.  I look forward to working more closely on a variety of projects in the future."

    - Dr Gregory Deacon

  • “Having worked with Jo now for some time (primarily to develop a new Honours degree in Health, Wellbeing and Community), I can honestly say that she has brought a new energy and life to our somewhat dry academic practices.  Jo is hugely knowledgeable, exceptionally well connected, has a kind, empathetic soul and genuinely wants to do the best she can for everyone she interacts with. Her ideas have brought an idea to life right from the very first concept conversation and I am very much looking forward to continuing to work with her to deliver the award.  Jo is endlessly enthusiastic, has the enviable ability to ‘think outside the box’ to problem-solve and is more than willing to go the extra mile to help develop ideas into practical, on-the-ground solutions that resonate soundly with her audience. Perhaps best of all, Jo makes me laugh every single time I see her; that willingness to engage people as people, rather than ‘just’ as a colleague, really does make a huge difference. Her sense of humour can be a little, ahem, irreverent, but laughing helps get the job done in a way we all enjoy. It has been an absolute pleasure getting to know her, and whether she likes it or not, we’re now colleagues, friends and naughty-humour buddies for some time to come!”
