Here’s what Inside Out Image clients have to say

Inside Out Image helps companies and individuals achieve their goals and perform at their best by developing often untaught skills.

I met Joanna as I was pivoting in my career at a senior level and I needed guidance on building my brand, improving my networking skills, demonstrating gravitas and having impact at C level. Joanna had practical advice that made an immediate difference. She’s a very positive, kind and attentive listener who is able to successfully walk you through each step of the challenging moments of your career with a smile.

We asked Joanna to help us develop a programme for employees who had expressed a desire to develop their Personal Impact and Networking capabilities. Working collaboratively with us, Joanna developed and delivered an interactive, lively and ultimately very well received set of workshops.
The feedback from the delegates was excellent and has prompted us to look at our next set of development needs. Thank you Joanna, you are such a pleasure to work with.

I had received my promotion to team head. I was in a tough spot, trying to navigate my way through some difficult political situations and what felt like a very toxic environment.
Joanna got straight to the point and started to help me unpick where the issues were, the direct conversations I needed to have, and getting me to see things from a different perspective. I can honestly say that 7 sessions later, I am a different person with highly improved political intelligence.

I wanted to change the behaviours and improve the performance of our finance team. Joanna took the time to understand the situation and designed an ‘away day’ for the team aimed at initiating that change. She delivered a well thought out programme, leading us through the process of clarifying our goals, identifying gaps and putting together a plan to deliver improvement. Joanna was open and engaging throughout and the team left feeling energised and enthused.

I approached Joanna at a very stagnant and discouraging point in my career. Joanna quickly identified the areas that needed work in just in an initial session. Joanna helped me identify my personal brand, work on strategic relationships, network effectively and become more politically intelligent.
Over the last few months, I faced several challenging and changing circumstances, Joanna was available at the end of a phone call to give me direction whilst reassuring me. I always looked forward to my sessions with Joanna. She showed empathy and gave me the right feedback in the most gentle manner.

The session Joanna ran for us was very well received. She was highly engaging and her talk was insightful with plenty of helpful tips to take away.

Joanna's work has had considerable impact. Of particular benefit to me was the Political Savvy questionnaire where we discussed my responses and how best I might respond to challenging situations in future.

I wish I had met Joanna 20 years ago!
