“I came to Jo seeking help in recovering from professional burnout, and how to move from it into a satisfying semi-retired life. Jo offered a logical and methodical approach to analysing the frustrations and obstacles I faced, and identifying solutions to them. This approach has been really successful in providing good insights and information on how to move forward in logical and achievable steps. Additionally, Jo's ability to personally connect and clearly communicate has made the process fun, easy and motivating. My experience has been excellent and I can highly recommend Jo's services.”
