When I started coaching with Jo, I felt like I was having a blockage getting stuff done, but when I started following my intuition more, I realized I’m not a lazy person. If I feel stuck, there’s a reason for it – it’s the wrong thing to be doing!

Jo is smart, insightful, and honest. She is able to see complex problems with such clarity. What I liked most about having Jo as a coach is that she understands the issues and challenges business owners face – she’s started both a retail and service business!

I was facing one particular problem at work and I needed some tips and ideas to improve my strategies. I also really wanted a second opinion and “reality check” on how to improve the situation. Wow! I got that and so much more.

I started coaching with Jo because I wanted to get some help with time management and prioritization so I could have more balance in my life. I got that and even more! I got useful tools to help manage both short- and long-term goal-setting, prioritization, and time management.

I hired Jo because I was at a standstill in my career – trying to figure out what I like to do, what I was good at, and what my next steps should be. I now have a new project and it fits perfectly with what I want. Without Jo, I wouldn’t have called the organization where I’m working now and been so clear about what I wanted to do, and how I could do it in a way that I love.

I started working with Jo because I knew I wasn’t portraying enough confidence with my co-workers and clients and I wasn’t yet poised to take on the bigger stretch leadership positions that I wanted. Working with Jo has been a fun and liberating experience.

After attending a Jo Ilfeld workshop and being so impressed by the content and impact, I had to ask her if she could give a workshop at my company, Genentech. Jo’s workshop “Mastering the Art of Results” was such a huge success.
