Jo is a coach and lecturer in Executive Education and she is the Programme Manager for the MSc/PG Dip in Leadership and Management Practice. She teaches in the areas of coaching skills and scholarly business practice. In addition, Jo is the Lead Coach for the School of Leadership and Organisational Development’s community of coaches for the Circle Leaders Programme, a national leadership development programme for Circle Health Group's senior leaders (formerly BMI Healthcare).
Jo is also a researcher in the area of voluntary/civil society organisations, migration and immigration detention. She is involved in two research projects: 1) An exploratory study on how humanitarian workers understand the law during search and rescues at sea (led by The Open University Law School); 2) An ethnography of a grassroots voluntary organisation that monitors the human rights of people crossing the English Channel. Her latter project is in collaboration with Channel Rescue and under the sponsorship of the LJMU Faculty of Business and Law as part of the Doctorate in Business Administration programme.
Previously she was Associate Director of the Career Development Office at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College, USA. She also was a Lecturer at Granite State College and taught an undergraduate management course (online) ‘Effecting Positive Change in Organizations’ and an Applied Studies course (face-to-face) 'Career Development and Life Skills'.
Prior to working in academia, Jo worked in the commercial sector for five years before changing her focus to the voluntary/non-profit sector. She has worked with the United States Peace Corps in the Eastern Caribbean as a small business development advisor and trainer for a rural agricultural development NGO; she was elected the Lead Volunteer for a group of 19 Peace Corps Volunteers in Antigua and Barbuda. She has also completed an internship with the United Nations International Trade Centre in Geneva, Switzerland, and United Nations Industrial Development Organisation in Vienna, Austria.
Jo holds a Professional Coaching Certification (2007). Her dissertation explored how coaching could be utilised for organisational effectiveness in the non-profit sector.
