Meet Jodie Cooper
Positive Psychology Coach & Wellbeing Trainer
Hey there,
If you’re ready to feel more confident, focused, and better equipped for everyday life, these wellbeing workshops are for you.
Over the past 20 years I’ve helped people just like you to rediscover their strengths, rebuild resilience, and create healthier habits that actually last. I know firsthand how easy it is to get caught in the cycle of overthinking, overwhelm, and exhaustion — and how powerful it can be to pause, reset and reconnect with what really matters.
That’s exactly why I’ve designed these positive psychology events: to give you practical, science-backed tools in three key areas — building confidence, working with wellbeing, and developing healthy habits.
Together, we’ll explore how to quieten your inner critic, find calm in the chaos, and create small, steady changes that make a big difference over time.
At the heart of all my work is a simple truth: when you protect and prioritise your wellbeing, everything else improves. Work feels more manageable, home feels lighter, and you start to thrive again — with clarity, balance, and a sense of possibility.
These workshops are your next step in the right direction.
✨ It’s your time. ✨

Sarah Lisle. Speaking with Confidence Participant
Thank you Jodie for presenting at the recent Breakfast Collaboration.
Jodie’s talk gave a whole new spin on Networking and its importance to one’s business. Her enthusiasm filled the room with excitement and some of her tips and methods to loosen up before entering a room full of strangers gave us all a bit of entertainment. She was certainly able to bring the room alive and it was great to see that everyone enjoyed the interactions, leaving them feeling a lot more confident in their abilities to network in the future.
I would certainly recommend Jodie as a guest speaker to anyone that was looking to liven up their presentations or events and instill some positive vibes into their work environment.

“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 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.

I would highly recommend Jodie’s workshop to anyone who would like to learn to be a better presenter.”

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.

Tea Rundback, Invisible Disabilities Advocate
“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
“You absolutely nailed the presentation, thanks for calling me beforehand and asking just the right questions to really understand this group. In the evaluations your presentation was rated so highly –you were the highlight of the course.
I’m so glad you presented early. We just kept referring to everything you said. You were so generous with your stories and knowledge, you were a brilliant investment. Once again, thanks so much. I think that what you presented will make a real difference to the people who attended. You gave them strategies, insights, humour, tips and more. A thousand thank yous.”
Kristina Dodds, Program Coordinator. Motor Neurone Disease Association of New South Wales
“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’.”
