“I was gobsmacked! The room was set up in a manner that was welcoming and friendly, tables prepared with iced water and mints. Jodie was there to greet each of us as we entered, her friendly demeanor made us all feel very comfortable and welcomed. Jodie wasn’t your typical ‘corporate’ style presenter, if anything she presented as one of us and I liked that. Jodie’s style of presenting was calm and controlled, she listened intently as we shared our individual fears of presenting to an audience and reassured us all that at the end of the day, we would have the tools needed to overcome those fears. But I was still frightened, my heart raced as it approached my turn to present…I stood on the star in the middle of the room….I could hear my own heartbeat in my ear…but I took a deep breath and whispered to myself ‘You’ve got this’ I put in place everything that Jodie had taught us that day…and NAILED it! – The only thing to fear is fear itself. Thank you for your wisdom Jodie and for sharing your knowledge – you are a true inspiration.”

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
Eddie Boyle, Strategic Manager. Warrigal
“I thought the sessions were great and it made me take time to myself. I really looked forward to going.I have become much more forthright in my communication. I’m not afraid to express what I’m really thinking and I’ve been able to verbalise my feelings better. I think because I understand better exactly what I’m feeling and experiencing I’m better able to put that into words.
I am absolutely able to deal with my challenges differently and better. I still need to work on my self care but I’m a work in progress.
The most beneficial thing about my coaching was being in the moment with myself and focusing on what I need to improve. Thank you Jodie!”
Jennifer Nelson, Manager Community Relations. Care South
“The Public Speaking course exceeded all my expectations. Comprehensive, fun and highly effective… Thank you Jodie.”
Chris Homer, Mayor. Shellharbour City Council
“Jodie Cooper is amazing & I wouldn’t be where I am today without her. My positivity, drive and focus have increased and my business and family have received the benefits. Thank you!”
Jodi Thomson, Director. Designer Staging Solutions
“I have different roles at home, work and in my community, and with this comes competing opportunities for how I live the hours of each day. I’ve learnt from Jodie that I can find greater joy when my daily actions are aligned with my personal values.
The time we spent clarifying my values and identifying ways I can live them in daily life was such an empowering exercise. Valuing my ‘intuition’ highly means I can tune in to it regularly, and use it to guide my decisions and actions, allowing me prioritise my other core values of mindfulness, health, family, simplicity, creativity, kindness, making a difference, community and learning.”
Robyn Johnson, Director. Blend ESQ and Host of Sustainability Podcast, Wollongong, Let’s Get Salty
“Jodie’s presentation was fun and a really good way of practically showing the power of laughter at work and with your teams and service users. I thought it was going to be a little “fluffy” to start with, but her activities were fun and actually demonstrated the point of being able to transfer this sort of thing into the workplace. The key take home message for me was how we share good news and congratulate our employees when they are doing great work or feeling undervalued.”
The Disability Trust
“I loved Jodie’s presentation on positive psychology. It was completely interactive and engaging. I took away some great tips for a positive mindset and business, especially the importance of connecting with our customers.”
Carli Phillips, Solutions Specialist. Ethicon
“I recently attended Jodie Cooper’s “Public Speaking Course”… and all I can say is WOW! What I love the most about Jodie’s sessions is the positive mindset that you can’t help but walk away with. I am excited to reflect and build upon and the frameworks Jodie shared and walked away from the session feeling inspired and ready to tackle my upcoming public speaking responsibilities. So thank you Jodie for sharing your expertise and building my motivation and confidence to tackle my public speaking fears.”
Carlie Page-Quinn, Training & Development Officer. ECTARC
“Jodie was very engaging and authentic. Remembering the why and celebrating our success was a great team bonding opportunity.”
Workshop Participant, Rare Cancers Australia
“The Public Speaking course was not just an exceptional course, it was an exceptional experience. I enjoyed every minute of it! I gained a multitude of new skills and my confidence levels increased ten fold. I went away feeling like I could really capture and engage my audience in a way that I have not done before. Thank you Jodie, I can honestly say that this course was life changing!!”
Tina Hunt. Wollongong Cancer Council
“It was an absolute pleasure to work with Jodie. She is knowledgeable, open-minded and brings a wealth of experience and positivity to any challenge. She conducts all of her business in a professional and well-considered manner. Perhaps what is the most impressive aspect of Jodie is that she lives and breathes what she subscribes to. Jodie is an authentic example of inspiring positivity and I would not hesitate to work with her again.”
Tara Clarke, Local Government Consultant
This is the first time I’ve experienced seeing a Life Coach, so i really had no expectations. However I was greeted with a friendly dog and warm home that Jodie let me in to. I felt bad for throwing so much information at Jodie. But her sense of calm, working to collate the information and prioritize, had relieved me of a lot of stress. Being able to track and structure myself from what Jodie had taught me was so uplifting to see. Being able to see a physical result in myself really shows how much trust I could put in Jodie. I would definitely recommend to anyone! Thank you so much!
Angus Collective. Micro Entrepreneur
“Our students feel energised & positive as they approach their HSC exams and life beyond school after an inspirational and fun session with Jodie”
Maxine Meek. Blayney High School
“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
“I believe the essential criteria of Life Coaching are listening, challenging and facilitation. Jodie strikes a great balance between all three, drawing out the answers from within. When taking on a coach, my goal was to attain an understanding of the process with an aim to use this knowledge to improve my interactions with people. I have been able to achieve this goal and more. At the same time learning more about myself and the importance of setting goals. Coaching has enhanced my ability to understand “just what is important”. With focus and belief anything is possible.
Coaching provides the opportunity to critically evaluate yourself. There is nothing so challenging than to question your long held beliefs. The best outcome of coaching was to extend your reasoning power by having someone that will listen, question and facilitate but not judge. The benefit of hearing yourself explain yours goals and thoughts cannot be underestimated.
If you are seeking to challenge yourself, maximise your output or simply to learn more about yourself then coaching could be for you. Coaching provides the vehicle for you to focus on whatever it is that is important to you (it is different for everyone; it is definitely not one size fits all.)”
Greg Pollock, Partner. Butler & Pollock
“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
“Jodie’s Coaching and small business advice is very practical and has helped me discover the important priorities in my business and personal life, I have found her coaching service incredibly helpful… Five stars.”
Scott Penning. Real Estate Professional
“As cliche as it may sound working with Jodie was literally life changing!!
I came to her at a time when I felt stuck and a little lost about many areas of my life. After first meeting her I instantly knew I was in good hands. The journey I on went with her, led to many positive changes in my life. I’ve learnt to shift my thinking and see things from an entirely new and positive perspective, I have gained an abundance of skills and techniques that continue to benefit me every day. From time to time I go back and “check in” with Jodie it is like coming home to an old friend. My spirit is immediately lifted and I am overcome with a vibe that stays with me for days.
I cannot thank the Universe enough for leading me to Jodie and would recommend her to anyone looking for some extra guidance with any area of life.”
Erin Weekes. Emergency Services
“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
“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
