Daniel Vacic – Senior Consultant at DC Strategy – Digital Strategy – 6th of March 2016
It isn’t always easy being honest about how I feel when I am faced with challenges. Having tough conversations with people was one of my major weaknesses and it would cost me money, time and energy. It’s exactly where Jayne was able to help by working to drive me beyond my comfort zone. I was pushed to think and act differently and as a result I improved my ability to respond and manage adversity. What initially was a small shift of perspective suddenly became critically important. The tools I learnt allowed to be focused during a major health crisis which meant I got the support I needed. Getting clear about what people say and expect before things go pear shaped was the key. It’s not as easy as it sounds. Her coaching has been invaluable. She will go out of her way to make sure conversations get real.
John Smallwood – Dream Champion at The Dream Consortium, Strategist, Master Coach, Master Facilitator, Communications & Culture Coach – 1st Feb 2016
I first met Jayne some years ago when a mutual friend suggested that I meet with her as a potential candidate to join our growing leadership development company. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect and was pleasantly surprised when this bundle of vitality and positive energy turned up. Jayne is a highly charismatic individual and she brings a very unique quality to her work, her coaching and her relationships. She searches for the positive aspect in every situation, challenges herself and those around her, and is effervescent and fun to be around.
I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Jayne and would welcome the opportunity to do so again in the future. I highly recommend her as a coach, facilitator or business associate
I have been fortunate enough to spend some 10 sessions with Jayne this year to help improve my leadership qualities and style. Jayne was able to address many core values that are now being transferred into out business at Meyer Timber NSW. The coaching process was new to me so it was important to enter it with an open mind and to only expect to get out what I put in. Jayne provides you the tools for improvement but they are useless if your not prepared to use them and make game changing decisions. Thanks Jayne, I look forward to one day working together again.
Jayne is an inspirational forward-thinking leader who brings out the best in others. She is a highly valued and respected member of our team who has helped us to deliver some amazing Internet Podcasts and One-Of-It’s-Kind Training Programs. Continuously impressed by the way she combines her talents and dedicates herself to her work. A true ‘Star Performer’ delivering brilliant content, extraordinary leadership and value to our business. I would recommend Jayne to anyone who values high standards and demands quality results.”
Leif Godwin – Godwin Legal – Lawyer
Jayne is a coach like no other. During our 10 sessions, Jayne’s coaching increased my monthly income by over 400% and had me reach my leadership and other personal goals. As a legal professional establishing my business, these goals seemed impossible when I started the coaching sessions. Jayne’s coaching supercharged my focus, goal setting and direction. This allowed me to create a business vision, communicate to this to my new and old clients and greatly increase my business revenue. Jayne’s coaching gave me profound insights into my business and leadership methods and what behaviours were keeping me and my business back. Jayne’s coaching gave me resilience in the face of obstacles, work- life balance and put me back in the driver’s seat to achieve the really important things in my life – both professionally and personally. Jayne’s profound empathy, extensive coaching knowledge and tools, combined with her theatre based techniques – made my goals vividly real. Attaining them was no harder than stepping onto a “fully set” stage and going through my lines.
The results I got from Jayne’s coaching exceeded anything I could have imagined.
Tom Clark – Marketing Development Manager
Jayne is wise, kind, insightful, fun, up for a challenge and supportive, incredibly supportive. She takes creative approaches to problems and finds all the right resources. My name is Tom Clark I started coaching with Jayne in 2011. I was looking for some career direction. I wanted to set some goals and I didn’t know how to properly set them or how high to set the bar. Jayne taught me to think big, think really big. After one series of coaching and a career promotion later I was empowered to start another series with Jayne. Her support was invaluable to me. Now I have a home and I’m engaged which are like rewards for the hard work we tackled together in the second coaching series. From the beginning, Jayne showed me that it was possible to change behavior by making deep connections within. To adapt to the changing conditions of my workplace I changed my leadership style and ability to influence. This is not an easy task but Jayne had a host of tools and resources to guide me through.
I thank Jayne for her ability to challenge me on subjects that were difficult to talk about. Her ability to piece together my thoughts, so fragmented at times is also to be admired. And I think it is important to note the following: Even though there were sessions we had where I wasn’t clear on what direction we were to take, there wasn’t one session that passed where nothing was achieved or where I felt no progress had been made. I found all different parts of my life were being enriched, benefiting from the skills and confidence I had built in the coaching series. Jayne has a sense for business and she has a sense for everything else.
Ann Snell – Art Gallery Owner – Business Woman – Mother – Wife
Before I started my coaching sessions with Jayne, I was a confused at my priorities and what move I should make first. This confusion was making me anxious. I needed another brain to separate the practical from the emotional anxiety to achieve my goals in order and most efficiently.
What changed with coaching was Jayne asked me to categorize the dreams and goals in 3 areas. This was both self-empowering and immediately lessened my anxiety, to see them listed in an order of importance on and categorized on paper. I could see the practical steps I needed to make, rather than the work load swimming around my head.
What worked was Jayne’s detailed survey analysed my current position as a professional, mother and wife. This challenge made me realize how well I was doing on most levels and the improvements I needed to make were achievable. This exercise lifted my spirits and was a great starting point.
Jayne was very focused on my needs to achieve my goals both in the short term and long term – however great or small they were taken seriously. By this attention I felt very validated and worthy. Jayne also highlighted any skills or talents I showed during exercises in the coaching sessions. As I work alone I don’t receive feedback on my actions, I really enjoyed positive feedback.The shifts I have made in three sessions have been numerous. My results are:I have plans. A long term and a short term on paper.
- I have a number of self-empowering tools to draw upon, to gain a clear vision.
- I have exercises to follow to feel more positive and grateful, in turn making me more proactive.
- I am less anxious.
- I can see my talents and therefore I can see my opportunities more clearly to act on them efficiently as a professional / wife / mother.
Stephanie Gill – Chief Changeologist, Focussed Fish Coaching & Facilitation
I wanted a top notch mentor in my preparation for a professional accreditation to make sure I was prepared to perform at my best at the assessment, which had cost me considerable time and money investment. I found that mentor in Jayne Leslie. Through working with Jayne, I learnt that I was a leader in my field in my own unique way. I was challenged and stretched in an honest manner, and respectfully supported. Jayne is gifted, able to take me from emotional lows in moments of self-doubt and move me quickly to useful emotional states, so I was ready to perform. I secured my accreditation, and I owe Jayne enormous thanks for her role in that. If you want a performance coach to bring out your best self as a leader in your field, call Jayne Leslie. She’s a leader in hers.

Claire Grullesman
I have been working with Jayne from Wish Solutions for just over a year. During that time Jayne has worked with me on a number of projects for myself, my clients, associates and friends.
The resounding feedback on her service has been brilliant. She is completely knowledgable when it comes to her core service of coaching, she is even a renown coaches coach. She has a way of cutting to the crux of an issue, seeing the problem and offering sound real-wold solutions.
She is dependable, trustworthy and always follows up to check that the person is happy with the service she has given. She is very easy to deal with, totally professional, well presented and friendly.
I look forward to working with Jayne on a long term basis and have hesitation in recommending her for any project.
My partner was feeling a bit directionless, and unable to see clearly where his future was going with work and saving and planning to buy a home. I referred him to Jayne Leslie to exercise his mind in ways he may not have used it before in order for him to feel more balanced and feel like he was achieving something significant. After regular appointments with Jayne he was able to secure a job promotion, save the required amount for a deposit on a home, and feel like he was really working towards something more important than just his daily work routine. Her professionalism shows in every facet of her business, from her happy and fulfilled clients, email correspondence, client handouts, follow up phone calls, and in her website. I would rate her services a 9/10. I would recommend Jayne to my own patients, friends, and family members who are lacking direction in their work/personal lives and want to set some goals and need help realising what those goals are, and how to address them.”
Francessa James – Engagement Manager Huthwaite Asia Pacific
“I was lucky enough to have Jayne as my assessor for coach training. We connected straight away. Following my assessment, I have set regular mentoring sessions to assist with coaching my own clients. Jayne has shared some extremely valuable ideas and has helped me to develop into a bold communicator. Each session I have walked away with more insights about myself. I’m always learning new ways of approaching coaching sessions and am starting to feel more confident with following my intuition and sticking with my client wherever they want the session to go. Jayne is extremely professional and thorough in her approach. I’d rate her 9 out of 10.” October 24, 2011
AJ – Freelance Copywriter
I’ve had the great pleasure to get to know Jayne in 2013. Firstly the focus she brings to all her clients is exciting to watch – she’s offered me the same level of dedication to creating structures, plans and motivation for my own personal business. I’ve also seen the creativity and bravery she’s brought to her animal welfare projects. Applying the same high level of strategy and leadership to make important changes to an important cause.
Peter o’Hara Senior Psychologist
I have just done a coaching accreditation assessment with Jayne Leslie. Jayne’s warm and generous manner made the experience enjoyable through the tension of an assessment. Her genuineness made it easy to make a connection, and it seemed that throughout the process she wanted me to do well. She offered great support before the call which helped me develop a good understanding of the process and associated expectations. The feedback she gave me after the call was specific, thoughtful and delivered with warm and more generosity. She acknowledged strengths and good skills, and gave clear direction in areas for development which was enormously helpful. Most of all Jayne was encouraging, and enthusiastic with it. Thanks Jayne, it was a pleasure to do the assessment with you and it was a bonus to get to know you a little through coaching with you. March 15th, 2012

Karen – Top Australian Gymnist Ranked No 6
Jayne and I starting coaching and I had no idea what I was going to get out of it. After my second session when my goals were planned I realised that this is how you organise life by planning goals and making strategies to go with them. I set two goals because i thought setting three would be to much for me to handle. I used my strategies to complete my goals and achieve what I wanted out of them. Jayne helped and always supported me, giving me advice and tips on how too acheive what I wanted.
My biggest take away from the series was organisation, time-management and belief in myself. My life now will revolve around setting goals first before I plan anything! ” – Teenage Coaching
Andrew McDuie – HR Professional
“I really enjoyed working with Jayne and appreciated her dedication to helping me achieve my goals. Jayne’s generosity of time and ongoing support following our session helped me to focus on what I need right now and what I want in the future in a natural, effective way.
Jayne is flexibility and focused on my needs to help me realise that I have more to do before I am ready to commit to coaching, which was a very valuable, though challenging, insight. Jayne helped me find out where I am on my road to personal fulfillment and I will be happy to use many of our outcomes to foster my growth, now, and in the future. Thank you Jayne!
Have a great day
Kerin Burford – South Australian Photographer of the Year
I wanted to take things to a new level. I recognized I needed a LIFECOACH, a mentor. Jayne has given me tools and insights to detach from the stuff that doesn’t matter, to clear my head to make room for more insights and creativity. She has pushed my thinking, challenged me and helped to break old habits. I can’t thank Jayne enough.
Marie – Freelance Writer, mother and wife
Jayne led me through a series of coaching sessions where I find myself a happier, more content, productive and peaceful person. The process has enabled me to see with far greater vision of my potential. Jayne supported me and pushed me to take the steps necessary to move forward. I have no hesitation in recommending Jayne to anyone who feels the need for motivation and inspiration.
