Hi!
I'm Jacqui, the Director and Executive Coach at LeadWell.
A little about me...
After working in marketing for a few years, in the finance sector, I was overcome by a severe case of the Sunday-Scaries. You know, that feeling when you realise your weekend is over and you have to go to work again in the morning?
I made the decision then to follow my passion, and embarked on a nutrition degree in my mid-twenties. I knew I wanted to use this new-found knowledge but didn't know how, until I found a job I LOVED working in marketing (my first love) in the natural medicine industry (my passion).
Almost 12 years later I found myself burned out and facing one of the hardest health challenges I've ever had to face. I was in bed, recovering when I had a hard look at myself. I was working in natural medicine, but my health was at rock bottom. Something had to give and I needed to find my purpose again.
I realised then, that what I loved most about my job was the fusion of developing leaders to reach their potential (I was a leader of leaders by then), and wellness.
So I began LeadWell.
After working in marketing for over 18 years, in various leadership roles, I found my calling in supporting the development of teams and leaders, finding myself leaning on my coaching skills daily. Working in a global leadership role reinforced my passion for cultivating cultures that are diverse and inclusive, kind and fun, while also being productive and meeting objectives.
I am a certified Emotional Intelligence (EQ) coach who is passionate about connecting my clients with their potential, supporting them in living intentionally and showing up as their best self in all aspects of life.
More than ever, we need agile, compassionate and transformational leaders across all sectors. Leadership is a skill, like any other, that can be learned and developed over time. As an Executive Leadership Coach and Facilitator, I work closely with experienced and emerging leaders to find their inner purpose and live according to their values, both within the workplace and beyond, thus creating ripples of positive impact across workplace cultures.
As a qualified nutritionist, I am passionate about the mind-body connection and encourage wellness in clients, as so often emotional challenges lead to physical ailments. We are not able to be our best selves if we're not in a well body!
My clients describe me as an inspirational leader, warm, approachable, calm and practical. I specialise in working with the individual or team in front of me, not a one-size-fits-all approach, to help uncover strengths and areas for growth and enable connection. I bring a combination of laughter and structure to ensure a memorable coaching experience that lasts well beyond our sessions together.
I have 3 beautiful sons, plus a fur-son, and am proud to be raising the next generation of emotionally intelligent, empathetic and kind humans.
I would love to connect with you to see how I can best support your goals in business, leadership and life.
