About Thea Jolly

Thea is a pioneer in her approach to busting the myths of perfectionism and increasing confidence, performance and fulfilment. She coaches women to step into their authentic leadership in a sustainable and powerful way that allows them to progress and flourish at work and in life. Research from McKinsey concluded that for women to be effective and to thrive at work they needed a ‘well of physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual strength that drives personal achievement and, in turn, inspires others to follow.’ Thea’s holistic approach to talent development is based on this need for women to feel supported and fulfilled in all areas of their life."Thea’s presentation on Perfectionism was highly engaging and thought provoking. Quite a few members of our team didn’t believe themselves to be a “perfectionist” initially. After listening to Thea’s stories and explanations of how perfectionism can manifest itself in your thoughts and everyday life, most of us were in agreement that we all had some level of perfectionist qualities. Once you are able to recognize these you can start to address them and with Thea’s mentoring and advice she can help to declutter a lot of the stress we actually cause for ourselves. A lot of us find that we often “tell ourselves stories” and then believe them to be fact and Thea helps you to understand the difference between these stories and what is real and to treat the perfectionist ideologies we have with a different approach. We would highly recommend Thea’s lectures and courses to anyone who is struggling to maintain a balance in their life, whether its career, being a working Mum, or personal relationships – it’s a welcome relief to get some clarity where there can be a lot of negative noise. Quite a few members of our team went on to have personal coaching sessions with Thea and all found them to be extremely valuable. A wonderful mentor, with a unique approach and straight forward, helpful advice."~ Oakleaf Partnership.
