People development

Jo Speed has an affinity for supporting people, especially those who work with cows. She has worked in the dairy industry for over 20 years, holding positions with Kite Consulting, DairyCo/AHDB and Promar.   Jo recently set up her own business - Jo Speed Coaching – after training to become a life coach, and in this role, she applies her skills as a mentor, coach and facilitator.   In this episode, we discuss: how asking questions can achieve a better outcome than telling someone what to do, not letting a feeling of discomfort stop you from pushing yourself out of your comfort zone to grow your skills and experience, comparing yourself with yourself not with others, and the importance of reflecting on your achievements. Listen in to hear Jo's thoughts on communication, cows and coffee!
