Jo Saies
Executive Coach
If you’re looking to boost your work performance I strongly recommend a coaching session with Jo Saies. A 30 minute virtual session with Jo helped me clarify my concern, identify potential solutions and choose a pathway forward. Thank you Jo, you have a true gift to coach and support others achieve and clarify their goals. I’m no longer feeling so anxious, so it’s working!

I undertook coaching to help me handle the pressure of managing a diverse project team tasked to formulate the technical aspect of a high-level public document for State Government. Thanks to Jo I gained a lot of insight regarding myself that helped me perform well in coordinating a project under challenging conditions. I was able to investigate my core personal values, set personal goals, frame strategic issues and develop a plan of action for handling them. Coaching sessions gave me a chance to pause and reflect on my personal journey, to clarify what I wanted out of the project and create a strategy for dealing with difficult people and situations. The time I spent with an external coach was well worth it.
