Leading people has never asked more of you.
Most leaders I meet are capable and committed. They’re also stretched. Coaching gives you space to think, a plan you believe in, and someone in your corner.
- How do I keep a hybrid team connected and performing?
- How do I lead my people through restructures and uncertainty?
- How do I build psychological safety so people speak up?
- How do I lead neurodivergent team members well?
- Is it time for a career change, or a career shift?

Hi, I’m Jacky.
I spent my early career in marketing and communications, then moved into people and culture. There I led change, learning and leadership development in banking, retail and insurance organisations. I’ve been responsible for people, projects and profit, so I know what your week looks like.
My coaching is strategic, practical and grounded in coaching psychology. I ask good questions, bring useful tools and help you see your situation from new angles.

She coaches in person across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, the Hunter and the Central Coast, and online with leaders in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Canberra and the rest of Australia. Workshops and keynotes can be delivered on-site across Australia, or online.
Does online coaching work as well as face to face?
Yes. Online sessions follow the same structure as in-person coaching: a clear plan, regular sessions and accountability between them. Many busy leaders find video sessions easier to fit into the week.
What qualifications does Jacky have?

What’s the difference between leadership and career coaching?
Leadership coaching builds how you lead people, decisions and change in your current role. Career coaching helps you decide and plan your next move, such as a promotion, a career change or shift, or life after redundancy.
Can you help our organisation become more neuro-inclusive?
Yes. Jacky works with leaders and teams to understand neurodivergence, including ADHD, and to build workplaces where neurodivergent people are included and celebrated, not just accommodated.
