I teach others what I learned when creating my unusual professional path from EA to Project Manager to Innovation Director.
I didn't have many people to talk to while I was trying to work out what was next for me professionally. I read a lot, researched and continued to learn, and then, as I became a leader, I helped others work out what they wanted to do next. I discovered that I love to coach.
I have a track record of success within the business, startup and innovation coaching fields, but more than that, I care about building the trust, connection and understanding that gets you results.
I'm a Personal Coach, so let's discuss your journey so far and how I can support you to take action for what's next!
A change can also be known as a pivot; recognising that the change you need isn't in the same spot that it used to be. Be supported in your determination to succeed while you change direction for success.
If you have recognised your need for change then now is time to move your dreams forward.
I teach you how developing your personal vision shapes the professional you become, as we develop both your inner self and your business life.
I've been a Corporate Innovation Coach for RAC, and Director of Innovation at INCUBATE, the program supporting entrepreneurial students launching scaleable businesses at The University of Sydney.
I was a key stakeholder in building the program from the beginning. We grew the team and launched 80+ startups in five years.
Learn how personal innovation keeps us moving forward.
I help you apply this way of thinking to get what you really want in life and business!
Personal Action Plans support your success!
I combine professional practice with law of attraction coaching to empower ambitious people to accelerate their career and business success. I'd love to help you too.

I understand how hard it can be when you don't know what to do next in your career or business.
Go Go Mojo Personal Action Plans help you find the career and business success to hit 'Go Go!' on your professional Mojo.
The art of coaching is to dance for a while and then offer some new moves to try out.
We discuss ideas, come up with a plan then reset and re-group as things change. I support you to keep going, to use law of attraction and business action to get the results you really want and feel more happiness and satisfaction in your professional life.
I bring perspective.
I'm curious and strategic. In my business career I've trained across operations, communication, consulting, startups, innovation, education and coaching.
I help you bridge the gap between you, the board and the executive team.
I coach you to work better with your leader, board and executive teams because I've been there. I've coached innovative thinking, created and built teams, managed diverse stakeholders, been a staff career coach and facilitated countless difficult conversations.
Leading Startup Businesses and Innovation.
At INCUBATE we developed workshops and programs that empower startups to succeed. When the startups received investment they often credited their rapid income and customer growth to the feedback, coaching, mentoring and workshops they accessed through the program.

Q. What am I inspired to create in my business?
I love stories.
I've always pictured myself in the characters shoes as I read. I guess empathy is my natural state. These days I accept that I need to be mindful of what I watch and listen to. But my love of stories and my empathy serves me well as I listen to my clients.
I've always been a problem solver.
Coaching comes naturally to me, I empathise, problem solve, trouble shoot, come up with ideas and support people to support themselves.
Go Go Mojo is about what can happen when you're supported to hit 'go go!'
I love client conversations when they say out loud something they have barely admitted to themselves. Because then we can work out how to make change and get them what they really want.
I am inspired to be the best coach in my field, to be sought after by clients who are drawn to my combination of practicality, mindset and motivation, it makes a difference in their lives.
Q. What do you expect from yourself?
I expect to be ethical, honest and kind.
I have high expectations of myself and sometimes my support network has to remind me that 'done' can be good enough!
Family, friends and partners can only do so much to support those with ambition.
It can get draining to be a support person for someone you love while they are working on their dreams - and their challenges.

Get coached in your comfy clothes!
Most of my career or business coaching is done over Zoom, and video is optional. Voice-only allows people to be more honest and introspective as they are purely concentrating on our conversation, not distracted by video.
I don't often know clients socially and this sense of anonymity can help them open up.
Clients share information with me that they may not choose to share with family, colleagues or friends.
I strongly encourage them to share with a partner, but sometimes I am the first person they have talked to about the particular business, personal or career challenges they face.
I prepare thoroughly for career coaching sessions, so my clients get the most benefit out of the time we spend together. I want to help ambitious people achieve more.
Helping others is not about being perfect.
I think I am a better Coach because I'm definitely not perfect! I face challenges, have to pick myself back up, reset and review regularly.
My expectations are high but my kindness is paramount; towards myself and to others. I try my best every day to utilise the self-care tips I share with my clients; that I am 'walking my talk.'
If you're ready to try the full set of coaching prep questions please get in touch and I'll happily send them to you.
