Positive Psychology Coaching Feedback
Siria Thomas, Owner. Northern Stars Swim School
“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 gained so much insight and inspiration from my sessions with Jodie. What an amazing, open and gorgeous woman! She has drawn the best out of me and helped me see the best in others and the world in general. Anyone who thinks their life can be better – It can be! So much I have worked through – I am truly a better Linda – with determination, vision and self confidence to boot! Not only is my life more positive, my mind feels as though it’s been opened to endless possibilities and my hands have been placed on the steering wheel of my life……… and I have gained an awesome friend too.”
Linda Brown, Wollongong
“Thanks so much, again, for your help. You really did catch me when I was falling. You gave me the courage I needed too. I am so much happier, healthier, inspired, confident and excited… you played a big part in that!”
Jackie Parry, Author & Adventurer. Sistership Publications
“I came to see Jodie at the start of my Honours year in a Bachelor of Psychology because I was aware that certain aspects of my lifestyle (e.g. time management) were limiting my potential at University. Jodie helped me to implement meaningful change in a number of areas of my life that helped me to stay on track throughout a very challenging year. Jodie played a big part in helping me achieve first class honours and the best thesis mark from any student under my honours supervisor.
The sessions were enjoyable and engaging and helped me look at life from a different perspective. It amazed me how making a number of small, yet powerful changes made such a difference. My family and friends recognised how consistently I was able to work throughout the year and how much my time management improved. Jodie was also very happy to provide assistance outside our structured session times to help me get through periods when balancing course and thesis work seemed too much to handle. I truly appreciate your help, thank you Jodie.”
Jordan Schaefer, Honours Student. University of Wollongong
“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
“Jodie’s laughter session was an instant success with all carers. Jodie is a fantastic presenter, energetic, funny and exceeded carer’s expectations.Thank you!”
Myriam Marchant. Kiama Council
“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
“I can’t thank Jodie enough for providing me with the tools and guidance to unlock and identify my values and direction, and at a very pivotal time of my life. With her calm yet reassuring manner, and a weekly set of tools, I can say, I am not the woman who walked through her door on day one – I am a MUCH better version! I can’t recommend Jodie highly enough.”
Lisa Burling, Owner & Consultant. LBPR
“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
“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
“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
“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
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
“My sessions with Jodie are always amazing. They are specifically targeted to my needs and Jodie is extremely flexible. Jodie has a positive encouraging and reassuring nature, and her delivery of the original coaching sessions and now regular sessions certainly makes me feel comfortable and supported. Jodie has given me the confidence to now move forward with my goals and challenges. I highly recommended Jodie and I will certainly be staying connected.”
Ms R, Specialist Support Coordinator
“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
“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
“Thank you for being an amazing mentor to me Jodie!
Your coaching always sees me walking away with restored clarity and being happy with what I already give, and who I am. I have made some great achievements and I should be proud. Yes, there is always room for self-improvement and reflection, but your approach is always positive and you never make me feel like I have failed. I’m truly grateful to you.”
Stacy Corbeski, Brand & Marketing Strategy. Aster Group
“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 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
