Experience and background

With more than 25 years of business experience gained domestically and internationally, and expert knowledge in leadership, talent management and organisational development, Jodie has worked with and coached executives and their teams across a range of sectors including professional and financial services, engineering and project management, technology, aviation, private investment and government.

She has previously held senior HR leadership, business partnering and consulting roles in organisations in Australia, Singapore and the UK.

In these roles, Jodie has built and led high performing teams across a range of disciplines and partnered with executives and business leaders striving to enhance team engagement and performance against a backdrop of complex business and culture change agendas.

As a leadership coach, Jodie sees the immense opportunity for organisations who deliver an exceptional and inclusive experience of leadership – a powerful differentiator in today’s competitive talent market. Leaders who strive to combine an emphasis on business outcomes and innovation, with the values of openness, curiosity, connection, and courage, create an inclusive and energising experience of leadership that not only serves teams and organisations, but has a positive ripple effect into their families and communities.
