Positive Psychology Coaching Feedback
Tamara Dyson, Owner. Gestures Online
“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 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
“I’ve been working with Jodie on a personal level which has been an absolute game changer. Jodie’s friendly approach, questions that challenge me and overall support means that the way I show up in my business, with my family and as a friend has taken me to a new level in life. Truly appreciate the impact you’ve had on my life Jodie – thank you!.”
Aaron Christie-David, Managing Director. Atelier Wealth
“I’ve enjoyed working with Jodie over the last four months whilst I’ve been working through some challenging work/life changes. Jodie has challenged my processed and thoughts with questions and suggestions that have encouraged me to look at the Status Quo and see beyond to the possibilities.
Her gentle probing is more often than not completely on point and that has enabled me to work through the self-imposed blockages and restrictions that have hampered not only my thought processes but how I have limited myself in what I can and should do. The thought exercises she gives are provocative and for me encouraged some fairly deep thinking and self-reflection.
The results have been surprising (in the best possible way) and I am seeing long term positive benefits from engaging with Jodie.”
Bradley Ryan-Agnew, CFO. Ericom
“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
For the last twenty nine years, I am now aware that I have been psychologically ‘beating my self up’ due to many awful decisions I had made in my personal and business life. This was the worst possible impediment one needs when wanting to support a family, look after employees and the interests of shareholders. On one hand my self-belief, intuition, training and skills would propel me into endeavours that were impossible at worst or extremely difficult at best. I came to believe that only I could find the worst possible way to attempt a project or undertake a new venture.
I realised very recently that I needed some help to overcome some problems about the way I approached things that I could not define let alone understand, and that I needed help. Those readers of this testimonial who know me would certainly say, “Yes, you needed help!” I contacted Jodie Cooper and she was gracious enough, after I had completed her Introductory Questionnaire, to spend an hour with me in a FREE interview. Jodie was sufficiently astute to quickly recognise my problem – she provided me with the key to unlock the shackles that I alone had placed around my entire approach to life. In days my personal and business life has turned around with tangible results to demonstrate that change. I am now able to say I made one smart decision in my life. Dear readers, the only way you will learn Jodie’s secret solution to problems that I admit I had, and that you might have, is to contact Jodie and invest in one of her coaching programs.

Sarah Amos, Equity Division. UOW
“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
“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
“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
“Jodie has been a wonderful coach and is really helping me to set and achieve goals and to practice self-care, which can be challenging with a baby and a toddler! Jodie is extremely kind, easy to talk to and provides many great strategies and ideas for personal and professional growth. She also gives amazing parenting advice! Very glad to have found her!”
Deborah Clark, Entrepreneur & Mum
“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
“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
“Through the gentle and caring coaching I have received from Jodie I have been guided to clearly identifying what I want in my life and totally removing self-defeating thoughts. These thoughts are so powerless now I am no longer even able to recall them. I am confidently moving towards short-term and long-term goals. I am clear on where my personal happiness lies and on a daily basis enjoy the freedom of being at peace with me.”
Gabby Anchor
“From a business perspective, I believe that if you’re not seeing a professional like Jodie, it’s not possible for you to be firing on all cylinders. After 10 years in the industry and 5 years in charge I was overwhelmed with the ongoing responsibilities that needed to be met on a daily basis. Having 16 staff members, controlling three different divisions was a consistent challenge of which my life was in total disarray. I had no balance in my life and it felt as though I was constantly chasing my tail.
Within two sessions, Jodie had me worked out. It was such a relief. I was delegating left, right and center and was able to focus predominantly on the areas of my business that needed me most. I have a 5 year plan and the company has grown by 20%. The ability to see the goals we put in place being met is incredible. Business is exciting as is the wonderful environment I have been able to create at work. More importantly, I am very happy from every perspective and this I give thanks to Jodie for ‘sorting me out’.”
Adam Martin, Manager & Owner. MMJ South
“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 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 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’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.”
