Elevate Leadership
Josette Owen
My point of difference
I bring clarity and connection to complexity—unlocking the potential of leaders and teams in a way that’s both deeply human and commercially sharp. With 20+ years across Financial Services, Retail, and Utilities in Auckland, Sydney, and London, I understand the real-world pressures leaders face. But what I believe sets me apart is how you cut through the noise. I don't just coach for insight— I coach for action. I'm known for my calm, kind presence, my ability to ask the right questions at the right moment, and my skill in helping leaders see their own potential more clearly. I bring empathy, structure, and strategic thinking. That means my clients don’t just feel better—they lead better. The work we do doesn’t sit on a shelf. It changes how people show up, lead, and deliver results. Whether in one-on-one coaching or leadership team settings, my work creates real movement—towards healthier teams, clearer decisions, and stronger leadership.

Why I am a member
I'm two years into founding and owning my own small business. There's been so many learnings along the way, with LOTS more I know I need to learn. It's been thrilling, terrifying and exhilarating all at the same time. And sometimes isolating. I've joined NZ Businesswomen, to meet, connect and spend time with other female business owners. To seek advice, to be able to support each other and help each other to succeed. I've joined as I'd love to be part of a community that cares about each other and truly wants each other to succeed.
An offer for you

I bring two decades of leadership experience across multiple industries and now coach execs and senior leaders across NZ and Australia. 🔹 Strengths-based insight – Curious about your CliftonStrengths or how to unlock more from your team? I can share practical tips or point you to the best tools for your situation. 🔹 Connection to other great people – If I know someone who could help you (or you them), I’ll gladly make the intro.
