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
Jo Vernon-Blom, Administrative Manager. UOW
“Jodie is fantastic! She helped us focus our attention on the things that were really important for our business and kept us on track!”
Erin Smith, Owner. South Coast Party Hire
“It was a really good session! I loved the balloons exercise for obvious reasons – it was hilarious. The way she explained positive psychology made a lot of sense to me and the way she connected the dots between positive psychology and public speaking was particularly helpful.”
Nicola. CanTeen Australia
“Before meeting Jodie at a one day course she presented, I thought Life Coaching was for people with more dollars than sense. But during the course I felt strongly that Jodie could really help me develop a clear course towards my goals.
Once we got talking about what I wanted out of my career and out of my personal life, Jodie’s insights were a revelation. Life Coaching has shown me how to make important changes in my life and I feel confident about my future for the first time in a long time!”
Rachel Flannery, Copy Wrighter
“I loved the speaking workshop that Jodie facilitated. It exceeded all expectations and I learnt so much in the process about not only myself, but my presentation style and the theory behind presenting and positive psychology. Thank you so much for making it such a positive journey. I now look at presenting in a totally different light and look forward to presenting in the near future. I would highly recommend Jodie’s workshop to anyone who would like to learn to be a better presenter.”
Eloise, University of Wollongong
“Jodie was a terrific presenter at our recent Staff Development day. Her enthusiasm and positiveness was well received by all attendees.”
Veronica Macdonald, Uniting Burnside
“I’m so glad we found Jodie as a presenter for our recent all-staff conference- it was a highlight of the event.
Jodie is warm, engaging and very natural- she had the room hooked from her opening story.
Great practical tips, lots of interaction and a well balanced presentation.
The session was fun, informative and lively- it was great to end our conference on a high and I’ve already seen some of Jodie’s tips being used!”
Adrian Mitchell, Supporter Care Manager. CanTeen Australia
“I have been with Jodie’s work now for over 18 months. I have been diagnosed as suffering from ADHD for 10 years. Now the strand of ADHD that affects me is short term memory, lack of organisational skills, lack of future planning as well as anxiety coupled with depression. Everybody will no doubt have suffered from at least one of these problems if not more.
With a ADHD sufferer they experience it more intensely, more frequently and for longer. Jodie has been a major factor in bringing me out of the woods and 18 months down the track I have referred back to our work and I can honestly say that I have immediately achieved my smaller goals and now, even next week achieving my biggest goal which is travelling overseas on my own, as 18 months ago I saw it as an impossible and terrifying feat. If you’re not a sufferer of ADHD imagine what she could possibly do with/ for you.
Jodie’s work environment is very relaxed and we’ve had some good belly laughs as well. Thank you Jodie. I’m truly glad life sent me your way!”
Daryl Hockey, Heavy machinery operator
“Thanks so much, again, for your help. You really did catch me when I was falling. You gave me the courage I needed too. I am so much happier, healthier, inspired, confident and excited… you played a big part in that!”
Jackie Parry, Author & Adventurer. Sistership Publications
I had the pleasure of attending one of Jodie’s workshop/presentations here in Merimbula and have to say it was one of the best I have ever been too. I arrived feeling a little nervous and left with so much positivity and confidence. I’ve already contacted Jodie for further coaching. If you get the chance to attend any of Jodie’s presentations, I thoroughly recommend attending, you won’t be disappointed!
Danielle Pearson, Director. Sapphire Conveyancing
“Thank you for empowering me to understand why we humans behave the way we do.Your interactive workshop was one of the best I have attended and has provided me with some great tools for my business and personal life.”
Marian Golubic, National Operations Manager. Gemtek Pty Ltd
“Thanks so much for today – the team and I loved the session and you have given us a lot to think about and work on.”
Liza Rodger, Associate Director Student Recruitment, University of Wollongong
“Thanks for sharing your presentation Breaking The Cycle Of Stress recently, it was one of the most practical and easy to understand sessions on this topic I have ever attended!
It’s great to have the information to understand why we get stressed in the first place and some practical exercises we can use straight away to help manage stress. Highly recommend!”
Sam Bailey, Risk & Safety Officer. Meander Valley Council
“Jodie was amazing! I learnt a lot about myself and achieving my confidence and goals. I will highly recommend Jodie to staff and friends. Well worth the investment!!”
Michele Rush, Senior Manager Woolyungah Indigenous Centre, University of Wollongong
“I can’t thank Jodie enough for providing me with the tools and guidance to unlock and identify my values and direction, and at a very pivotal time of my life. With her calm yet reassuring manner, and a weekly set of tools, I can say, I am not the woman who walked through her door on day one – I am a MUCH better version! I can’t recommend Jodie highly enough.”
Lisa Burling, Owner & Consultant. LBPR
“We’ve done numerous workshops with Jodie and all of them have been insightful, engaging and inspiring. The combination of Jodie’s coaching and workshops has been a winning formula for our Company!”
Michelle Forte, Director. Austinmer Dance Theatre
“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 spent time with our corporate services team helping us to develop a wellbeing framework and reinforcing the importance of embracing positive emotions in the workplace. Jodie’s delivery style is personal and engaging and has inspired the team to continue with the many techniques and practices explored during her work with us.”
Steven Testa, Assistant Director of Finance, Facilities & Planning. Catholic Education Office Wollongong
“I was recently offered the opportunity to do a 20 minute business presentation at a major event, run by Pat Mesiti, on the Gold Coast. I contacted Jodie Copper, and booked a 1 hour public speaking coaching session. In that hour Jodie quickly sifted my ideas and enabled me to hone in on my message. Jodie has an ability to ask the right questions that weeded out the unnecessary content and enabled me to choose the right direction for my presentation. Timing is one of the most important aspects of presenting, and Jodie helped me get my main points across with this in mind.
Jodie, many thanks for your input it was a huge help! I can report that my presentation went really well, I was able to deliver great content on time and with confidence, with many people giving positive feedback. THANKS JODIE, YOU ROCK!”
David Jennings, Owner. David Jennings Building
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!
