“Jodie was amazing in helping me get ready for pitching! Her support and coaching in getting my ideas from thought to paper then get them structured led to us winning our pitching contest. What she taught me now forms the foundation of how I approach pitching, and, putting ideas to paper.”

The real Jodie Cooper
I always dreamed of creating a business where I could help people and have an awesome lifestyle too.
I am beyond grateful to do, what I do.
While I love training and speaking, at heart I’m an introvert. I adore time in nature. Surfing, climbing, running, snow boarding, hiking. If it’s adventurous and outdoors, I’m in.
My family are pretty tight and we love travelling. Yep, I’m that crazy Mum singing in the car with the windows down.
Oliver (my dog & side kick) and I volunteer locally to spread a little joy to kids in crisis. He’s definitely the hero!
I’m passionate about my work, because I believe our world needs people like you to lead positive change.
Three delightful years
we travelled around Australia with our family.
If you’re feeling like you’re dreams are out of reach, let me tell you, they’re not.
In 2019 we packed up our lives, rented our home, and left for a lap around Australia.
When Covid changed our plans, one year became three and we proved to ourselves that anything is possible.
We met incredible people, rode camels at sunset, paddled past crocodiles, meandered though rainforests, explored caves, floated down rivers, gazed at the stars, trekked countless trails, swam with sharks, laughed around campfires and drank many, many cups of tea.
So my friend,
I know your dreams can come true too.

Positive Psychology Coaching & Training Feedback
Chris Magiri, Founder. GenSpeak
The Amazing part was that even though. I was incredibly nervous I knew I could do it. Even more amazing was the fact that while i do not in any way see myself as a great public speaker (yet) I really enjoyed it!

Peter Strelnikow, Manager – CBU Procurement. Toyota Australia

Erin Watt, Director. HER Property Co
“As soon as I took my business full time I knew I needed help. Jodie was able to help me unscramble what was in my head and organise how to get everything in a way that works for me to take control of my new adventure. Focusing on not only what I loved to do but also creating the best way I can make a profit out of it. Absolutely recommend Jodie, she makes you feel comfortable, relaxed and is professional. Love your work Jodie!”
Deidre Jones, Designer & Photographer. Dream Designs & Photography
“I’m so pleased that I decided to work with Jodie. Initially I was focused on building my professional capacity but Jodie’s mentoring has positively influenced so many aspects of my life. The skills and knowledge that I’ve developed have allowed me to successfully achieve my professional goals, though importantly build a strong foundation to be a more resilient and nurturing parent, friend and person. I can’t thank Jodie enough for her awesome inspiration and support.”
Andrew Williams, Senior Coasts and Estuaries Officer. NSW Office of Environment and Heritage

Danica Vujic, Executive Assistant. Peoplecare
“Perfectly pitched session, perfectly timed and positive feedback from all the team who attended. Would highly recommend.”
Matthew Perry, Director. Graduate Research, UOW
“Thank you so much for delivering the Developing a Positive Culture workshop with my senior Managers group at Blayney Shire Council. The energy in the room was great and they all have said how productive the afternoon was learning more about themselves as leaders and their communication styles.
A positive and supporting culture in an organisation permeates from the top and you reinforced the message of why personal wellbeing is critical for leaders to manage and supervise a group of people in the workplace. We look forward to having you back again.”
Rebecca Ryan. General Manager, Blayney Shire Council
“Jodie was very engaging and authentic. Remembering the why and celebrating our success was a great team bonding opportunity.”
Workshop Participant, Rare Cancers Australia
“Many thanks to you, Jodie. Thank you for your patience and kindness over the last few months. I had no idea what to expect coming into these sessions but somewhere inside of me, I think I knew I needed some guidance in more personal areas, rather than professional, so I am really grateful that you picked up on what I needed to do.
Many thanks for all of your time and energy!”
Rachel Tolosa Paz, Philanthropic Researcher
“I’ve enjoyed working with Jodie over the last four months whilst I’ve been working through some challenging work/life changes. Jodie has challenged my processed and thoughts with questions and suggestions that have encouraged me to look at the Status Quo and see beyond to the possibilities.
Her gentle probing is more often than not completely on point and that has enabled me to work through the self-imposed blockages and restrictions that have hampered not only my thought processes but how I have limited myself in what I can and should do. The thought exercises she gives are provocative and for me encouraged some fairly deep thinking and self-reflection.
The results have been surprising (in the best possible way) and I am seeing long term positive benefits from engaging with Jodie.”
Bradley Ryan-Agnew, CFO. Ericom
“After one meeting with Jodie I felt empowered to achieve the outcome I had in mind, when previously I wasn’t sure I had the reach. Jodie’s seemingly effortless style drew out the best in me, integrated communication skills that have enriched my life and that I now carry into the future …one meeting! I unreservedly recommend Jodie as a Wellbeing Coach and Educator.”
Heather Chaplin, Community Wellbeing Advocate
“Jodie has a very relatable style, and the workshop was fun and practical. Jodie is generous with her knowledge & I love all the different activities over the two days. Exceeded expectations big time!”
UOW Speaking with Confidence Participant
“Jodie has given me the tools to manage stress and anxiety, and manage and priortise the ‘to do list’ without stress. Jodie’s given me ideas on how to communicate with my children better. My husband had noticed a big difference in my stress and anxiety, I’m more relaxed now. Coaching has enabled me to view my life in a more positive light.”
Kelly, Business Owner and Parent
“I met Jodie when she came to Bega to deliver a workshop as an addition to a small business education program. Many of us in the group where at a point in the program where we felt overwhelmed. Immediately, Jodie’s delivery method and enthusiasm altered us into a different way of thinking and doing. Jodie offered learning strategies and exercises that allowed us to explore our own gifts and also gave us many many practical tools to implement now and in the future. My little sticker on my mirror may be small but it is a powerful reminder to look after me, appreciate me and then I can be my best self to give to others . Win Win really! Since then Jodie has offered mentoring both formally and informally. Jodie gets to the guts of your issue and helps you to put it all in perspective and lead from the heart. Thanks Jodie”
