This is a “YOU FIRST” movement.
Whether you have a boardroom of 30 or an AGM/Summit of 300, Jo will challenge your leaders to look at themselves and their behaviour before they look at anyone else’s.
(…and they’ll thank her for it!)
Why choose Jo?
1) Experience change
Attendees will leave thinking differently about how they lead back in the ‘real world’.
2) Tailored to you
Jo will take the time to make sure each keynote applies to the context of your company’s circumstances and challenges.
3) No bored audiences!
Her hyper-relatable talks create an electric buzz with their interactive components and endless lightbulb moments.
4) Teachings that stick.
A skilled trainer and facilitator, Jo knows how to deliver teachings that will be the hot topic on everyone’s lips long after the talk ends.


Most requested topics:
- What kind of leader are you? Why understanding your behaviour traits is the first step to effectively leading others.
- How loudly does your Lion roar? Be aware of how others receive your communication style and choose an approach that best serves you and your team (especially when stress is high and patience is low).
- Trust me, I’m a leader: How to become a leader people genuinely trust and choose to follow (Hint: your title has nothing to do with it).
- Understand your default approach to conflict: How to take the difficult out of difficult conversations and make small changes for better outcomes.
- The flavour of your culture: Are you more Woolworths or First Direct? Choose what type of company you want to be and understand what it takes to get there.
Recent talks include:
- AGM for Quill, Manchester
- Leadership Summit for Catalyst Care Group, Macedonia
- Leadership Summit for The 5th Ingredient, Miami.
Don’t worry, your location doesn’t have to begin with ‘M’ for us to work together 😉

“Jo has a unique ability to draw everyone in and keep them fully engaged from start to finish, hanging on her every word. I saw her speak at a 2 day conference of around 150 people earlier this year and Jo was the only one to have the whole room in silence. At the end, I remember looking around at my colleagues and there was stillness in the room and in that moment I could tell it was resonating with everyone.”
April Cowley, Head of People
“To lead others, you first need to lead yourself”
