Positive Psychology Coaching Feedback

Myriam Marchant. Kiama 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
“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
“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
“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
“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.
“I am currently being coached by Jodie Cooper and what can I say… I absolutely LOVE it!! Jodie has helped me in both my personal and business goals. She listens intently to my struggles and needs and offers creative solutions that have improved my business and my life as a happy and positive person. For quite sometime I was just working on my business day by day, project to project and not really growing or going anywhere. But now I have a clear vision as to where I’d like my business to go and how I’m going to get there.
Already in the few months I’ve been seeing her I’ve seen a growth in my business and I feel absolutely ecstatic about it. I highly recommend Jodie to absolutely anyone looking to improve their life and business in a happy and positive way. Thanks again Jodie. Love your work!”
Deidre Jones, Owner & Photographer. Dream Designs & Photography
“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
“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
“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
“After trying to complete self discovery on my own to find that ‘thing’ I had been searching for (but didn’t realise at the time what that was), I decided that I would seek some guidance by a professional that could assist me achieving my goal.
I came across Jodie’s website and for some reason I felt a connection and kept going back and reading her website a number times. I finally made the call and Jodie spent 30 mins with me on the phone which was to just to make an appointment! That speaks for itself.
Jodie is an inspirational and motivational coach who challenges you to realise your full potential in all areas of your life. Jodie challenged me to specific activities to assist with changing my mindset and new ways of dealing with things which has provided me with feelings that I have not felt for sometime. Jodie has helped me enormously to have the courage and self confidence to try and achieve my personal goals and career goals, and she has supported me and inspired self-belief to help me actually achieve those.
While being a calm and inspiring person, Jodie has a listening soul and ability to understand and help define the big picture of my goals and help me understand personal issues that I never even thought of, she is also able to break down the steps needed to achieve these goals and give practical and insightful advice on how to take that first step towards your goal, whether it be finishing study, assisting in my career direction, realising personal goals and achievements, resolving family and relationship conflict and taking charge of my life.
Coaching, encouraging and listening are second nature to Jodie and I am truly grateful to say I have a wonderful mentor/coach in Jodie!
Jodie will certainly inspire you on your life journey and I can say she certainly has for me.”
Fiona Kurtz, Contact Centre Manager. IRT
“Jodie is a fantastic mentor and executive coach that can assist you in performing to your potential. Jodie’s approach is personal, professional and supportive. Working with Jodie has been a great advantage for me in improving my leadership skills and developing a valuable team.”
Stacey Corbeski, Brand & Marketing Strategy. Aster Group
“I had the opportunity to engage Jodie Cooper to fundamentally improve my approach to business success through executive coaching. Jodie’s clear, honest and tailored executive program has seen a shift in my ability to be a sales leader, develop more meaningful stakeholder relationships – and ultimately focus on growth drivers for business and personal success.”
Matthew Becker, National Business Manager. Coca-Cola Amatil
“Before I started working with Jodie I felt a little lost, I didn’t have any real purpose and generally lacked motivation. Jodie helped me to see things differently and now I’m coping with stress much better and am learning to be kind to myself when things don’t go to plan. After three months, I’m now feeling motivated, optimistic and on the right track again. It’s definitely been a great investment.”
Tamara, Busy Executive
“After working with Jodie I’m feeling much more motivated and organised and my path forward is now crystal clear. I’m excited about my goals again! My relationship has improved dramatically and I just have a better perspective and mindset in all areas of my life.
Jodie has a great way of explaining things and a simple conversation would unfold in a week’s time, often with profound changes. I’m so happy I decided to come and see you, it’s been the best investment ever!”
Sarah. Real Estate Professional
“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
“After 10 years owning and running a business it was time to freshen things up. My first and best move was to engage Jodie as a business and life coach. Over an initial 8 week period, Jodie provided down-to-earth psychological and emotional education and practical techniques to bring about change. I made a commitment to my myself to try these immediately at work and at home. Our company now has clearer goals, my team and I are achieving better business results, and we are happier doing it.
I also highly recommend Jodie’s Public Speaking course. In just one day our team went from zero to each presenting an engaging 5 minute talk. In my case, Jodie’s life coaching and public speaking training have given me the time and confidence to start performing stand up comedy, an ambition I had harbored since my teens.”
Dean Jackson, Owner and General Manager. Planet Footprint
“I was coached by Jodie on her Positive Psychology program and absolutely loved it. Even years later, I still practice a lot of what Jodie taught me – I can’t recommend working with her enough!”
Kachina Dimmock, Content Collective Co
“Jodie Cooper is a breath of fresh air and a voice of reason in a world of uncertainty and regulation that is stifling business and impacting on quality lifestyles. Working with Jodie has been a delight, her insightful counsel and encouragement has helped me find a clear path to work life balance. I would highly recommend Jodie to any executive or business owner looking to change their life for the better and smell the roses.”
Phil Horan, Director, Innovating Energy
“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
