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
“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
“Jodie helped me organise my dreams, wishes and ideas into realistic and achievable goals. Her straight advice backed with plenty of real world experience gave me a ‘head start’ on my path to the goals I set. She packed so much information into all the life coaching sessions! Jodie’s’ coaching isn’t an expense- it’s an investment into your future. If you ever feel stuck, lost, clueless or wondering what to do next, Jodie Cooper is the person to turn to.”
Michael, Young Entrepreneur
“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
“I have been in business for 39 years and had this thought in my head “What could Jodie possibly teach me? She is so young.” Well I was pleasantly surprised. Jodie not only helped me with my business but also in my personal life. Jodie helped me to understand and handle myself and my relationships better.
I achieve so much more in a day with the simple but effective tools that Jodie has given me. I can now face my fears and just do it. I am so much more organised I have more time and my life is more balanced.
The sessions with Jodie more than met with my expectations and I now have a completely different opinion on Business and Life coaching than I did before. Thank you Jodie Cooper!”
Maralyn Young, Managing Director. Casa Mia
“Jodie’s well-being session on our planning day helped to set the tone for the year for my team. Jodie’s positive and considered approach to mindfulness was a great reminder to find gratitude in all aspects of our lives. Her techniques and interactive games helped us consider the great things we have achieved at our service and created a positive mindset to project into our year ahead!”
Charise Orvad, Director. Keiraview Education & Care Services.
“This webinar was mostly likely the best one I have attended this year. Jodie was fantastic. Absolutely enjoyed her presentation. Thank you again CPA for making this possible during such a difficult year!”
CPA Member, VIC
“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
“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!!”

“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
“The Executive Coaching sessions I had with Jodie was money and time well spent. Her expertise & perspective on my business meant we were able to nut out a list of manageable tasks that would increase my business, my data base and my productivity. She gave me the confidence and the motivation to achieve tasks that I previously baulked at. Thank you Jodie for your understanding and insight.”
Maiya Kenny, Healing Steps Wellness Centre
“Jodie helped me achieve a shift that I wasn’t sure was possible. In ten session I felt transformed. She has this special way of holding you and honouring who you are whilst empowering you to move to where you want to be. Jodie is a phenomenal human and an exceptional coach. I am so grateful for the opportunity to have worked with Jodie and would recommend her in a heartbeat.”
Jeanine Kaplan, Student Services. University of Wollongong
“Working with Jodie as my coach is fantastic. I have already gained so many valuable and profound insights into who I am and how I am operating in life and work. More importantly she helps me identify the beliefs and internal processes hindering me and provides clear practical ways for me to effect positive change. Working with Jodie is one of the best investments I have made in a long time, wishing I had done it years ago.”
Chris Hudson. Supply Chain & Logistics Consultant
Jodie has a down to earth coaching style and truly meets people where they are at. She has a knack for supporting people to open up and explore new ways of thinking (and acting) by creating a playful and safe environment. Jodie is a great listener and is able to link what she is hearing to her extensive knowledge in brain based neuroscience and positive psychology, in addition to her lived experience within the workforce. If you are ready to create positive change for yourself with someone who truly knows their stuff, I would highly recommend Jodie Cooper.
Alli Williamson, Lead Facilitator & Teacher
“Meeting with Jodie came with perfect timing! I was at the start of a week full of important meetings and dead lines, and feeling the pressure! I was also at a point in both my personal and business life that required some clarity and direction.
Jodie worked with me to remove the stress I was feeling and the pressure I was placing on myself, and see the future clearer through goal setting and realistic planning. I will be referring my friends to Jodie and look forward to implementing the systems she has given me.”
Paul Munro, Director. Vision Studio
“You absolutely nailed the presentation, thanks for calling me beforehand and asking just the right questions to really understand this group. In the evaluations your presentation was rated so highly –you were the highlight of the course.
I’m so glad you presented early. We just kept referring to everything you said. You were so generous with your stories and knowledge, you were a brilliant investment. Once again, thanks so much. I think that what you presented will make a real difference to the people who attended. You gave them strategies, insights, humour, tips and more. A thousand thank yous.”
Kristina Dodds, Program Coordinator. Motor Neurone Disease Association of New South Wales
“I have been seeing Jodie on an off for several years now, reconnecting whenever I have felt that I am not living my best life. Most recently, I reconnected when I was found unsuitable for an executive level position I had been working in for some time. My confidence had taken a hit and I was struggling in my role and in myself to continue moving forward. I began working with Jodie again, to increase my confidence and identify strengthens within myself that I thought we were lost. Over time my confidence and drive increased and I felt purpose come back to my position. My boss noticed the changed and gave me more and more opportunities to prove that I am a capable leader. Working on my confidence levels and with Jodie’s encouragement, I applied for other roles outside of my organisation to increase my interview skills. When roles within my organisation were advertised again (a year later for context) I approached the interview very differently and left with a feeling of accomplishment. A few months later I was found successful in the recruitment and now own my position permanently. I am continuing working with Jodie to help my leadership ability and increase myself believe in other areas of my life. After this I am sure Jodie will remain my first point of call for my next challenge in life. I would recommend Jodie to anyone who is looking for a bit of extra help in any areas of your life.”
Tamara Dyson, National Security
“I received a real transformational one to one positive psychology coaching from Jodie. I studied positive psychology and coaching before but getting coaching from Jodie was much more effective. I would highly recommend Jodie for someone who wants to transform or improve their life, career, business, relationships etc. Jodie has deep understanding of positive psychology and can help you through coaching. Thank you Jodie for a great coaching experience.”
Neil Bhattarai, Life Coach
“Jodie has the ability to transform, lead and coach her audience to appreciate and feel good about what she is presenting. She’s a breath of fresh air and delivered an engaging, relevant, and inspiring event to our online audience. We finished the event feeling energized, in a positive frame of mind and with a big smile on our faces. The audience’s comments support her charming personality: “The best webinar I have attended. Jodie was fantastic and absolutely enjoyed her presentation and plenty of take-home moments. Thanks for putting this on during such a difficult year.”
Tom OKeeffe. Chairperson Third Age Group. CPA
“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”
