Life coaching
Company for the hard part.
I am the coach you stay with, not just the coach you start with
I help professional women, forty and over, who are moving through a real transition, often a divorce, solo parenting, resetting a lifestyle, or running a business while juggling family, work and ageing parents. They're women who look like they have it all together. The ones everyone else leans on. They're not short on capability, they're short on company, and they decide who to work with based on trust, not price.
Capable women reach a point where holding it all together stops working, and they don't have anyone to say that out loud to. I help them stop pretending it's fine, work out what they actually want, and take real steps toward it, with company, not just advice.
I'm the coach you stay with, not just the coach you start with. Most coaching is built for a single push, a goal, a launch, a fixed programme end date. Mine is built for staying power. My longest-running group is three years old, and nobody is required to keep coming back. They do, because change that actually holds usually needs company along the way, not just a good pep talk at the start.
Professional women, 40 and over, in a real transition, a divorce, solo parenting, resetting a lifestyle, or running a business while juggling family, work and ageing parents. They decide who to work with based on trust, not price.
You don't have to do this alone. Real accountability and honest company through the change, not just a pep talk at the start. A coach who stays past the goal, my longest group is three years old, and nobody's required to keep coming back. Clarity on what you actually want, built from your own values and vision, not someone else's version of success. Support that fits real life, in person in Auckland or online, at a pace that works for you.
Making the change alone, then losing momentum without anyone checking in. Generic advice that doesn't account for what's actually going on in their life. A programme that ends the day the sessions do, with no ongoing support. Having to keep performing "fine" while quietly struggling underneath.

● One-to-one life coaching for women navigating a real transition. ● Vision Board workshops, taking time to decide what you want to focus on, and what you want to let go of. ● The Mastermind, a six-month group coaching programme, now in its third year with the original group. ● The Power to Change, Six Steps to a Rich and Meaningful Life, my book on building a life that actually fits. ● The first step with me is always a free Break-Free Conversation, no obligation either way
I joined NZ Businesswomen because I liked the idea of women working together and supporting each other, in business and in life. Ten years on, I'm still here, for the sense of community and the business support NZ Businesswomen offers.
I'd love to offer NZ Businesswomen members a free Break-Free Conversation with me. It's a chance to get a fresh perspective, and it may be exactly what you need to feel unstuck and moving forward again. We'll talk about where you are, where you want to be, and what's actually drawing you forward, and you'll leave with real clarity and a next step you can take straight away. No pressure either way.

“Jo lights up the pathway, instead of leaving you to find your own way through the maze.” — Rachael “A warm, dedicated, thoughtful Martha Beck trained coach, Jo could be your wonderful guide, anchor, wise woman, cheerleader, trusted advisor, confidant…all customized to your personal journey.” — Emma “Jo would always make me feel comfortable and help me to understand that my crazy ideas could be accomplished! Everything that I talked to her about she would listen carefully and always hit the nail on the head with what I should think about next. Not only did she help me with my original problem of sorting out my career life she also helped me to understand who I was as a person and why I had the thoughts or the feelings I had about different situations/people. I really appreciate that I now know how to deal and handle with being in the tricky situations and how to react to them.” — Adele “I recommend the Thrive Coaching Programme (now Back in the Driver's Seat). I always came out of our sessions enthusiastic about the work to do. Jo handled my desire for big sky thinking well and helped me distill it into small practical steps. I found the tools and techniques really useful and I continue to use them now. Jo inspired and helped me to really pin down what was important, my values, and how to bring these into play into my everyday. I now feel more confident to take action, and to trust in myself and my decisions. I'm actually on the road as supposed to just thinking about it and it feels great!” — Eve
