Before I stepped up to my current role at Leap, I was looking for a mentor to support my professional and personal development to feel confident in making the step forward. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been introduced to Jo who was the most fantastic mentor and coach and made an instant and lasting positive impression on my approaches to work and to life!

I didn't really know what to expect from the sessions and Jo guided me through in a calm, reassuring, experienced way. I left every session feeling I understood more about what strategies work for me, and where to put focus to support growth in my work and personal life.

Jo is a wonderfully warm person who I greatly respect and hope to stay in touch with.          

Amy really listened to my struggles and what blocks I had. She was able to guide me to the answers I was looking for, put me back on my 'Entrepreneurial path', and made me believe in myself again. She made me accountable for my actions and gave me praise for my achievements.

Working with Amy has been both a transformational and empowering experience and this has helped me with both my small creative business and my everyday life.

I met Jo through Kerning The Gap, an organisation set up to help women in careers within the design industry. Across a course of around 9 months we met regularly, and Jo was the most personable and energising mentor I could have been paired with.

She was open, straight-talking, engaged and engaging, and through sharing experiences from her own impressive career was able to give me some real tools to help me progress in my role at director level.

Despite now living at opposite ends of the country, we are still in touch, and I can honestly say that without Jo’s mentor-(and friend)-ship, I would not be as confident in myself, and as a woman, as I have been able to grow into.

I would not hesitate to recommend her as a mentor, colleague, and general all-round great person to have in any situation

Amy Was An Excellent Coach Because I Felt Heard, Seen And Valued In A Space That I Had Initially Found Slightly Daunting.

Amy Helped Me To Focus My Thoughts Which Are Usually Like A Swarm Of Crazed Bees. The Calming Presence Of Amy, Even Through Zoom, Made For Such A Positive Experience
