Dr Jo Watkins is a freelance GP, a transformational life coach, mum of 4, entrepreneur and small business owner who combines coaching, business mentoring and her passion of connection and community building into her 1:1 coaching and group programmes.

She has been described as a 'human catalyst' who thrives working with medics and heath care professionals, doing things differently. Filling them with the confidence to start, scale and build their own online business, blog, side hustle or product alongside their medical career.

Jo is a true portfolio medic, home educating one of her 4 kids with her husband, travelling for three months a year, working as a GP on her terms when home and running a thriving, scalable online business with her co-founder and great friend, Polly Crook, called The HOW People.

Jo runs her business and communities from her laptop wherever she happens to be.
She uses her skills from over 20 years in medicine and 15 years learning business from the grassroots up while working out what she really wanted to do. Jo started with making her practice website, then an acupuncture qualification and a Botox course before creating, growing and folding a food product business, Bendylegs Granola and then renovating and marketing a successful holiday let before creating The HOW People and doing her coaching qualification. 

Jo has made all the mistakes, and worn all of the hats, in the process and continues to learn and grow her business each day. 

Jo is most passionate about helping other medics navigate their own path and giving them the tools and practical advice to do this without it feeling overwhelming.

Catalysing the change from healthcare professional to whatever you want your life to look like around your medical career.

Signposting, trouble shooting, advising, listening, suggesting, building confidence, encouraging, challenging, being honest, understanding and totally getting how hard it is to be a medic who is doing things differently.

The digital revolution is changing how we can impact people and reach a wider audience. It is challenging the traditional healthcare model and what we are able to deliver. But, it can be overwhelming and feel to big a hurdle to even embark on. 

Dr Nerys Frater is a GP with an interest in diabetes who has been running 'The Lifestyle Clinic' for the patients in her surgery and local health board.

This month, with Jo's help and support, she has launched her first online course and community to support people with pre-diabetes across the UK and help them improve their lifestyle and reverse their blood sugars. As doctors we know, all too well, the knock on affect of this change on the long term health of the patient, reduction of other conditions over time, cost of medication and cost of GP and appointment time. 

"It is invaluable to work with Jo. It is hard to keep going when you perceive resistance around you, but with Jo as a cheerleader by your side, you can achieve way more than you would ever do alone"
Nerys Frater, GP and founder of The Lifestyle Clinic 

You need to ride this rollercoaster with like-minded souls

What is the value of knowing you are not on this journey alone?

Priceless.

Each week we look at goals, wins and you might get some inspiration links or journalling prompts.

This will help your thoughts flow.

Then when you come to a session, you’ll be ready to share what came up for you.

Most healthcare professionals find it really powerful to learn that others are having similar struggles and hear the creative ways they are showing up for themselves amongst the hustle of their normal work and personal lives.
