Jo Smith
Founder
I am a highly qualified and experienced executive coach, with a background in HR and business leadership.
HR Director of Arla Foods was my last corporate role, driving global performance and working internationally. I have worked with leaders at that level across many organisations ever since.
I founded my business in 2004, and have built a successful coaching and people development practice, working with senior leaders from a variety of sectors, including high performance sport, leading global academic institutions, owner entrepreneurs and family-owned businesses as well as many public and private sector clients.
I do my best work with people who know that things can always be better. No high-performance athlete ever saw a coach as a remedial action. I work with clients to help them uncover their challenges and capacities as well as their big environmental and aspirations so that we can put in place the day-to-day actions to make these things happen… and have fun at the same time!
I am so pleased that you’re here and I hope that we get the chance to talk.

Coming Soon
Welcome to my brand-new website. We are officially live, but we’re just getting started! I am working behind the scenes cooking up insightful articles, industry…
I would highly recommend Jo to anyone seeking a thoughtful, skilled, and impactful coach.
My coaching sessions with Jo to be extremely valuable, both professionally and personally. Jo creates a supportive and insightful environment encouraging honest reflection whilst maintaining a very clear focus on practical outcomes.
Her ability to ask the right questions, challenge my thinking constructively, helping me reframe situations has been particularly beneficial. I have felt supported outside of the sessions and Jo has given me some useful reading, tips and tools which suit my learning style.
What I think sets Jo apart is her ability to balance empathy with a results-driven focus, I have left our sessions with tangible actions and a clearer sense of direction. Our sessions have had a positive impact on both my ability to navigate some professional challenges and with focus on my wellbeing.”
