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.

As a member of B1G1, together, we’re able to bring about positive change in communities across the globe.
It’s not just your wellbeing that improves through our positive mental health coaching or wellbeing training sessions.

The real Jodie Cooper
I always dreamed of building a business that makes a difference and gives me a beautiful lifestyle. Now I’m living it and am grateful every day.
I love training and speaking, but at heart I’m an introvert who recharges in nature. Surfing, hiking, snowboarding, climbing. If it’s outdoors and slightly uncomfortable, I’m in. My family are my people, we love an adventure, and yes, I am absolutely that mum singing with the windows down.
I’m not a perfectly polished wellness brand. My laundry pile is real, my hair is often a mess, and I’ve learned more from the hard seasons of life than any textbook. That’s probably why my work lands the way it does.
I’m passionate about what I do because I genuinely believe the world needs people like you, clear-headed, resilient and showing up, to lead positive change. That’s what gets me up in the morning. (Well, that and Oliver demanding to go to the beach.)
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 are 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 Mental Health Coaching & Training Feedback

iAccelerate participant, Leadership workshop
“Jodie’s positive leadership course was insightful and motivating and I highly recommend to anyone needing a refresher or to reset or just starting out on their leadership journey. Thanks Jodie.”
Jo Vernon-Blom, Administrative Manager. UOW
“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
“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
“Jodie’s presentation was greatly received by my team. Her focus on positivity and resilience helped us to stand back and look at things with fresh eyes.”
Peter Strelnikow, Manager – CBU Procurement. Toyota Australia
“Jodie presented to the leadership team of Illawarra Shoalhaven Family & Community Services and nailed it. Jodie has a depth of knowledge in leadership, positive psychology, mental health/wellbeing at work and self care. I would highly recommend Jodie to any work group, she was easy to communicate with when developing the program to suit our needs and responded to our questions and queries with care.
Jodie was able to present information and internal statistics in a manner which was engaging and thought provoking, whilst giving leaders pratical advice and implementation strategies as soon as they left the room. The workshop was also fun and the energy Jodie created in the room was remarkable. As Jodie says, ‘relationships and other people matter’ so to get the best out of your team and time I wouldn’t hesitate in using Jodie again.”
Rose McGoldrick, Manager Client Services Wollongong. Department of Communities & Justice
“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.”
Eddie Boyle, Strategic Manager. Warrigal
“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
“Our team took part in a Positivity Workshop with Jodie. I cannot recommend this workshop enough – even the sceptics among the team are still applying the behaviours we learned during the workshop, almost two months on. There has been a definite shift in attitude around the office – we now remind ourselves (and each other) to look for and focus on the positive.
I also partook in several one-on-one sessions with Jodie, and found them extremely valuable. Small suggestions and ideas along with practical advice and tools have helped me focus on how I can incorporate and build on the positivity I already tried to incorporate in my life. Taking time for myself and really focussing on my priorities has improved my outlook and made me genuinely feel better, happier and more positive.”
Danika Star, Service Manager. Planet Footprint
“Jodie’s energy and enthusiasm were infectious, making the seminar engaging and enjoyable. The activities she incorporated were not only insightful on an individual level but also promoted team cohesion. Jodie’s seminar was a breath of fresh air, offering a perspective that goes beyond the typical hustle mentality. Her approach to holistic success, coupled with her vibrant delivery, left a lasting impression on me.”
Sachi Yasuda, Graduate Research. UOW
“Before seeing Jodie I struggled with my anxiety and wasn’t feeling confident in my work role. Jodie has helped me manage my emotions which has made me feel more confident and in control. I highly recommend this coaching program!!”
Jake Kelly, Site Supervisor. G.J. Gardner Homes Wollongong & Shoalhaven.
“When I initially started coaching with Jodie, I was unsure of the direction I should take my business in which started impacting my mood. Upon completion of the program I am happier than ever and have a 12 month plan of how I will achieve my goals. Thank you Jodie.”
Erin Watt, Director. HER Property Co
“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
“Can’t thank Jodie enough for her help, support and knowledge. She’s provided me with the framework I needed for my business. Look forward to continuing to grow and developing my skills!”
Doreen Brown, SEO Specialist. Doreen Brown Consulting
“Jodie is a fantastic coach and trainer. Jodie recently helped to prepare for a presentation for a conference and I don’t know that I could have done it without her. She really helped me to break done the concepts into simple chunks, explain my story well and helped me to speak confidentially at the conference.”
Danica Vujic, Executive Assistant. Peoplecare
“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 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
“Our team at Peoplecare engaged Jodie for an interactive session on public speaking and presenting skills. Jodie is an exceptional communicator and gave insight into what makes a successful presentation and how to prepare for an exceptional delivery. I would highly recommend a conversation with Jodie to see how she can assist your personal or business needs.”
Peter Buckley, Head of Strategy & Innovation. Peoplecare
