Jo Wright

An experienced sales and customer marketing professional with 15 years business experience in blue chip FMCG organisations, Jo is now a facilitator and Organisation and Relationship Systems Coach, and reached ACC level with the International Coach Federation (ICF).

Jo founded Phoenix Training & Coaching in 2008 with the mission to bring humanity to work and enable the important and meaningful conversations (individuals, teams, partnerships) to unleash high performance. During the last 18 years Jo has worked internationally across FMCG, tech, banking, public, arts and charity sectors, both supporting the development of essential people skills to lead and manage teams better, as well as coaching teams to become genuinely High Performing. She spent two years coaching professional dancers in their transition to a post-performance career and particularly loves to coach individuals who are taking a career ‘step up’ and want to think about what that means for their leadership and development.

Jo’s style is warm, compassionate, playful and pragmatic. She supports her clients to feel safe enough to explore the real issues and to get alignment to moving forward, as well as to bring their whole selves to work to make the workplace a more humane environment.

A keen gardener and lover of wildlife, Jo has volunteered at a Namibian wildlife sanctuary four times, tracked lemurs in Madagascar, and is a huge fan of both big cats and primates. In the UK she loves country walks, gardening and reading.
