Short Bio of Speaker

Josephine Thomson is one of those rare individuals that exudes energy and radiates confidence. Josie's positive outlook, in addition to her personal and professional successes, has seen her named as a State Finalists in the Telstra Business Women's Awards.

The vivacious mother of two juggles her competing roles as mother, business owner, public speaker, wife and mentor with an apparent ease that is enviable to the everyday person. One can not help but wonder how she manages to squeeze in so much living! As Managing Director of Accelerated Excellence Josie works with individuals and organizations to maximize results in all areas of their life. Josie's zest for her own life, and those around her, is contagious - spend 5 minutes with this incredible woman and you will soon see why she was recognized as Life Coach of the Year three years running (2002, 2003 & 2004).

Perhaps her passion for life has something to do with the fact that she is also a cancer survivor. At the tender age of 24 Josie was diagnosed with cancer of the thyroid and given only 6 months to live. A true survivor Josie not only overcame the disease but also went on to have two beautiful children Kristen, and Harrison, despite being told that the odds of having children of her own were thin.

Josie's charismatic smile and cheerful demeanor are illustrative of the way she leads her life. Josie believes "the big challenge is to become all that you have the possibility of becoming. You cannot believe what it does to the human spirit to maximize your human potential and stretch yourself."
