Why I don’t believe in Procrastination
If you’ve ever found yourself putting off an important task then this blog is going to be useful for you. We’ll be exploring what causes us to procrastinate and what to do about it. In my experience of coaching highly successful women I’ve discovered that a lot of women tell themselves they’re procrastinating when actually […]
(Video) Dalai Lama on CNBC
In this 1min 5sec dose of common sense, his Holiness says: “Sometimes I feel that if the leadership of over 200 nations was with women, the world would be a little bit safer! I really feel that!” You know- I feel that too. You? What’s more I was watching Michael Moore’s recent movie “Where […]
Has the world gone mad? You are the solution to these crazy times!
I really think the world is going mad. It feels like our future, the destiny of our children is being altered dramatically every other week right now. I’m writing this as I fly home to the UK from a holiday in Australia with my family. And everywhere I turn the world feels uncertain. What with […]

Jo&Co Episode 4 – The Productivity Trap
“I will be productive today!” You have said that to yourself at least once in the past 2 weeks haven’t you? Did it work? Because more often than not, for women, demanding productivity of ourselves is our first mistake! In this episode of Jo & Co, I want to share with you the difference between […]
The Myth of I’m Too Busy
There is no doubt in my mind that Busy-Ness has reached epidemic proportions. For most of us “I’m Busy” has become a badge of honour- undeniably stating to the world “I AM IN DEMAND, I AM VALUABLE”. “Isn’t it obvious?” we think we are proving to ourselves and the world… “Everyone wants a piece of […]
Jo&Co Episode 3 – Overwhelm first aid
It doesn’t matter where you sit on the spectrum of leadership, whether you are CEO of a global company or a local community centre volunteer, we all suffer this from time to time… Overwhelm! Even when you have mastered prioritising, time management or delegation, we all hit overwhelm at some stage. Today I wanted to […]
The Gift of Receiving
Last week I had a melt down. As I looked at the triggers it became clear that I had once more got myself into a situation where I was supporting everyone, and I wasn’t getting the support I needed. Don’t get me wrong here I have a great supportive team. They are amazing. But I’m […]
Jo&Co Episode 2 – Making a Difference
In this episode I’m taking a look at “Making a Difference”.

How to Live Like a Queen
In 1533, a girl was born who would go on to do what no woman ever had before in England: take the throne, rule the country for nearly half a century, oversee military victories and a cultural renaissance, survive multiple conspiracies to assassinate her, and keep many of the the male royals of Europe waiting […]
3 Tips for Dressing the Best Version of You
Something I started to notice in my twenties (way before I trained to become an image consultant), is how my behaviour changes according to how I feel I look on any given day. Back then I worked in glossy magazines where the workforce was impossibly glamorous and fashionable. I’d just graduated from Uni and had […]
The power of living your rhythm
Have you ever watched people surfing? The really great surfers read the rhythm of the ocean, sitting on their boards and chatting when the waves pull back, then jumping up in perfect timing with those big gorgeous waves that crash forward. They know that there’s a time to sit still and a time to jump […]
Why Nourishing Yourself is the Least Selfish Thing You Can Do
In my work, I’m privileged to connect with so many truly amazing women — and I’m always amazed by how naturally caring and giving they are. Whether it’s in the form of making life better for whole communities or just making sure that family dinner is a time of special connection, these women are on […]
What does it really mean to play your strengths as a woman?
What are the first words that come to mind when you think about the feminine? Soft, nurturing … maybe a bit recessive, even weak? And what about when you think about female power? Does your mind immediately go to sports commercials and Superwomen? Seems like a bit of a contradiction, doesn’t it, like you either […]
How to stop overwhelm in its tracks
Stress, time poverty, and overwhelm has become incredibly common among women — in fact, it’s almost become a badge of honour! And it’s no wonder. In a society where we’re largely expected to function linearly, exactly like men (although our biology is totally different), not to mention the association of busyness with personal value and […]
Why you should love your inner critic
About six months ago, I got the idea that I wanted to get a painting that signified Mother Earth to put in this particular spot on my bedroom wall. So I did some Googling online and I found some pictures that I really liked … but they were done by an artist in the States, […]
