About
I’m Jo Hennessy, an experienced personal and business coach. I am on a mission to support business owners and individuals that want to make a difference to achieve financial growth and succeed on their own terms with more ease, alignment and balance.
Why should you choose me as your coach? I have over 15-years’ experience in audit, business improvement and solutions management (including time spent as a Deloitte consultant and a senior business analyst for the Bank of England) and am now qualified as a personal performance and business coach operating within the ICF Code of Ethics. I understand the effects of being misaligned with one's career and stress / over-working leading to deterioration of key relationships and mental well-being, and am passionate about helping my clients to avoid these pitfalls.
What does that mean for you? Firstly, I understand what it takes to operate at one's best and run a successful business. Secondly, I’m a great strategic thinker who will help you to see a bigger, brighter picture. And also, as a wife, mum of two and business owner myself I know what it is like to juggle a myriad of priorities, and can support you in getting the home and work-life balance right.
What am I like to work with? I’m honest, straight-forward and caring. I have a calm and yet gently challenging coaching style to support you to define your own personal definition of success and actually implement it within your life and business! My focus is on your well-being and the best possible outcome for you. Working with me is a collaborative process, a process that will get you and your business to where you want, and need to be.
How does that help you? Working with me will help you to gain greater awareness of your current situation and align your future goals. It will also help you to enhance your personal and business performance, increase your profits, and work/life balance, giving you more fulfillment and time for the things and people you love.
What sort of individuals or businesses do you typically work with? I specialise in working with individuals and service based business owners that are motivated by making a difference. For example in the health and well-being (coaches, nutritionalists etc), business support (web-designers, VAs etc), hospitality (pub, restaurant owner etc) or creative industries (entrepreneurs, architects etc). Either way, I find my clients share values around quality service delivery and have an appreciation for the importance of well-being and family time to their success in business and life, yet benefit from some support to do so.
I offer free discovery calls and offer a number of flexible packages and tailored programmes for business owners. I also offer personal coaching to individuals looking to evaluate their purpose and priorities and support them to create more alignment, balance and success in life.
Qualifications & Experience:
I have qualified as a personal performance, and a work-life balance coach with The Coaching Academy which is an ICF accredited organisation, and studied as a specialist business coach with Evercoach.
This is complemented by 15 years business experience including as a Big 4 auditor/consultant and a senior business analyst. Additionally I hold a 1st class masters degree from Leeds University Engineering & Business Schools. And hold a Professional Diploma in Business Analysis skills.
If either my business owner packages and/or personal coaching sounds of interest to you, please get in touch. I’d love to help!
Nb. In addition to personal performance and business success, I also have a deep interest in energetics, alternative health & well-being practices, and spirituality which I can integrate in my coaching sessions if clients would find this beneficial.
