“Jo has been a pivotal part of my personal growth over the last year. Her gentle, accurate and empathetic teachings through the Enneagram have exposed and explained some of the deepest and scariest parts of myself. Over time, she has helped me build a better understanding of how I relate to situations, my predispositions, expressions and vices. I believe that the Enneagram is a truly effective tool in self-reflection and integration, but I know that this journey would have been far less effective and grounded without Jo's guidance. I refer back to her teachings on a daily basis.”

“I had the pleasure of being introduced to Joanne Smollan and the Enneagram in 2023 as part of my growth journey as Strategy Director at Razor PR. Suffice to say, working with Jo will be the highlight of this year, and will indeed remain a highlight of my life. Jo possesses a uniquely high level of emotional intelligence, and an abundance of wisdom, insight and value that she applies through the Enneagram to unlock personal and professional growth in individuals and in teams. For me personally (I am a 3 on the Enneagram – the Competitive Achiever), she has created a safe space for me to grow – to try, fail, and try again – in my transition from manager to leader. After each session with Jo, I leave a little mindblown – but also calmer and incredibly motivated to win. The results of the process have been tangible in all aspects of my life: with my team, with colleagues and the broader leadership team, but with my family and friends too. Jo’s authenticity in her approach to her work encourages vulnerability: a critical ingredient for life, leadership and love. I would recommend Jo again and again.”

"My introduction to the Enneagram with Joanne was an incredibly insightful journey. She is clearly an expert in this system, and I was amazed not only at the clarity of her insights into my strengths, but also the compassion and authenticity with which she negotiated my weaknesses and blind spots. Holding a mirror to yourself in this way can be uncomfortable, but Joanne made me feel safe and able to use these results to navigate myself and my relationships in a way that can change my inner and outer life for the better.”

“When I did the Enneagram, I was not in a good place. It was immensely helpful in understanding (without condemnation) the interactions and behaviours of myself with others. It also offered a guide to personal transformation which I’ve never gotten in other tests. My experience with the Enneagram was made even more profound because of the safe space that Jo created in our sessions. Not once did I feel judged or misunderstood. With Jo’s guidance and the work I’ve put in, I am a better version of myself and I love it! I highly, highly recommend Jo to anyone embarking on this journey.”

”If you are blessed to have time with Jo as a coach, you will feel like you are sitting with the best friend you ever had. Someone who sees you, sits without judgement and is the epitome of a safe space. As a coach, she asks the right questions that guide and enlighten. I am so grateful to have had this experience.”

“She read me like an open book and cracked my shell far quicker than most. To be honest - that week was the beginning of the end and the start of healing. And it really did start with Jo. She was a rock when she didn’t know me from a bar of soap and I didn’t even know I needed her.”

“The way Jo balances her insights with delivering you a very practical journey for a more integrated life is what makes her so effective. Mentoring and coaching skills like hers can’t just be read in a book, learned, and then practiced. Jo is different and draws from deep intuition and empathy to help you climb up into a better version of yourself.”
