Being a great leader is hard and can feel isolating
Yet you don’t need to do it alone
As an Executive and Organisational Coach, I founded Elevate Leadership out of a
deep passion for empowering leaders to have an incredible impact.
With over two decades of experience in Financial Services, Retail, and Utilities across Auckland, Sydney, and London, I specialise in partnering with leaders to unlock your potential and accelerate the delivery of your business and organisational goals.

Understanding Your Challenges
In today’s fast-paced, complex world, your role as a leader is more demanding than
ever.
Time is scarce, and the challenges you face can feel vast. That’s where I come in.
My clients value the objective and confidential space I provide—a space where you can unpack your biggest challenges, gain clarity, and always walk away with
actionable steps to drive yourself, your team, and your business forward.
My Journey
My journey began in Sydney, where growing up in a large family sparked my curiosity about what makes people tick. This curiosity, combined with a love for connecting with people and adventure, led me to the UK, where I started my career in Executive Recruitment.
Upon returning to Sydney, I transitioned to leading teams and spearheading people programs in Financial Services, focusing on building career pathways for
underrepresented demographics.
In 2018, I moved to Auckland and made a significant shift from leading teams to coaching leaders. This transition was driven by my desire to work more closely with
leaders, helping you navigate the complexities of your roles and achieve exceptional results.

By late 2023, Elevate Leadership was born, embodying my commitment to
supporting leaders through one-on-one coaching, group coaching, workshops, and
public speaking.
I’m humbled by the feedback I receive from my clients:
“I gained clarity, became proactive & influential in driving change & delivering value to my organisation”. – Head of.
“Josette’s coaching has been transformative for my leadership style and overall dynamics within my team”. – General Manager.
“Early on, she identified key barriers holding me back and we set goals to achieve better business results” – Regional Manager.
My focus is to equip you with the tools and confidence to lead effectively, no matter the challenges you face.
