Then I feel honoured and thrilled to be serving and supporting you through every moment. I have been coaching groups via Zoom for multiple years. The online space is not new for me.  I am extremely experienced on how to create a safe, nurturing and dynamic virtual space for my clients. 

 

Along with our current global situation, this is not a trial.  

YOUR COACH, JANELLE

My initial transition into leadership was a little rocky.  I know the discomfort.  I know what it's like to almost want to give up....throw in the the towel....call it a day.

​

I know what it's like to sit at your desk with the fear that your phone will ring and your boss will say "We now realise you have no idea what you're doing and we have to let you go." 

​

I know what it's like to secretly worry if I'm good enough, worthy enough, qualified enough, experienced enough for this role.

​

To feel like an Impostor, a Fraud.

​

To fear failure.

​

To  dread letting people down - my boss, my team, my business, MYSELF.

​

I also know when it feels like no-one will 'give you a go'.  You KNOW you're ready for leadership but just can't grab the opportunity.  

​

On top of that, we are working within a constantly-changing landscape.

​

 

What I am now well-versed, and very experienced in, is stepping into uncertainty. 

 

Moving into the unknown, and backing myself anyway.  Staying in flow.  Changing direction.  Being open to failure.  Trusting my unopened gifts will emerge.  Building new skills and harnessing new strengths.  Building my resilience along the way.

​

I'm always reaching higher.  Or doing something that, some would say, I have no business doing.  Or stepping into an area of which I have zero experience.

 

Sometimes I literally sit down and think...

​

 

WHAT AM I DOING HERE?  WHAT WILL I DO NOW?  WHO AM I?

​

​

Like the time I moved into my first executive leadership role and feared EVERY DAY that my phone would ring and I'd hear my boss say "we now realise you have no idea what you're doing so we're going to have to let you go". 

​

​

But then I TOOK BACK THE REINS and began creating the most dynamic, highly performing teams - teams that regularly smashed goals, then set higher ones for themselves.  

 

Teams that were highly regarded throughout (some very large) organisations.

 

Teams that I constantly received compliments about - their customer service, their professionalism, their teamwork, their friendliness and inclusiveness, their enthusiasm, their innovation, their PERFORMANCE.

​

Teams consisting of the full gamut of workforce - full and part-time employees, casuals, contractors, interns and volunteers.  

 

It wasn't all rainbows and puppies - at times there were some tough conversations around performance and team culture.  More than once I had to led someone go, and learned to do so with honesty, kindness and empathy. 

​

I wouldn't change any of it for the world. 

​

​

THESE LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCES BECAME SOME OF THE MOST EXHILARATING, LIFE-CHANGING, EXPANSIVE AND FULFILLING EVENTS OF MY LIFE. 

​

​

But I didn't do it alone - I surrounded myself with a group of people who supported me, challenged me, grew with me and cared for me.  My success was THEIR mission.....

​

​

....which inspired me, for many years now, to coach leaders and emerging leaders to THEIR success.  I have been blessed to have worked with leaders in the following industries:  technology (you may have "Googled" to find this page), tourism, education, sporting, government, financial, engineering, energy, facility management, event management, retail ....along with small business owners and entrepreneurs.  

​

​

AND I AM SO EXCITED TO OFFER THIS TO YOU.

"This is the start of a wonderful journey to unlock your potential."

Suzanne Spiropoulos, HR Partner, University of Technology, Sydney (UTS)

Janelle is an experienced coach with the unique talent to serve her clients – guiding them to build on their strengths and to cast aside unhelpful beliefs.  Be prepared to be challenged.. and to gain valuable insights. My coaching with Janelle was absolutely worth it – an extremely worthwhile investment in being my best self – to me, and to others.

“Every resource you need to create what you want is in or near you right now.”

Justine Lawson, Manager, T & L Design, Engagement, Quality & Scholarships, NSW

Working with Janelle has been a transformative experience. In the space of 6 months, I have learnt to take responsibility for my actions and feelings and to create the vision and take the steps to where and who I want to be. Although focused on leadership and work, the impacts are much more far reaching, improving relationships and general well-being. How did this happen? The coaching environment created by Janelle together with her online programs are challenging and supportive; theoretical and practical; bold and nuanced; honest and kind; magical and real. Janelle is a highly experienced and talented coach, who tuned into my story and guided and challenged me to think, feel and act differently. And all this came with love – the hallmark of any truly caring relationship.  I have deep gratitude for Janelle, hold her with the highest regard and unconditionally recommend all that Skyhigh has to offer.

"I experienced a type of deep learning not usually available in group settings."

 Dr Georgia Melville, Creative Victoria

I had the pleasure of joining the Leadership Lounge with Janelle. During this time I experienced a type of deep learning not usually available in group settings. During the fortnightly intensive sessions we explored my individual leadership journey, as well as the journeys of the other Lounge members. The coaching Janelle gave me during the Lounge was focused, strong and kind. She provided me with tailored and thought provoking insights - it's clear she has a strong breadth of leadership experience and expertise. I also found the Lounge format valuable because the stories and the insights of other members broadened my own approach to leadership in areas I wasn't aware I needed.

"If you are looking for someone who is present with your feelings,  your goals and who truly loves coaching people, explore working with Janelle."

Odette, General Manager, Accor Hotels, Qld

Since working with Janelle my sense of my own value has grown and I am consciously using my voice more, particularly in my professional life.  Whilst I did enjoy Janelle, and appreciate the process and what it uncovered, I cannot say it was enjoyable.  Her gift is definitely digging deeper!

Working with Janelle is by far the best investment I have made in myself as a leader and my results have far exceeded my expectations.

Lucy, Leisure Centre Manager, Victoria

Words cannot express how happy and grateful I am that Janelle was referred to me by a colleague and friend.  To be honest, I initially approached Janelle for leadership coaching, but her magic extended into my personal life and I goals I thought were in my future appeared almost instantaneously.  We created our arrangement in 2019, pre the co-vid environment, and what a blessing it was to have her by my side during the recent events in 2020.  I have authentically led my team through a global pandemic, successfully facilitated a (pre planned) full departmental restructure and created an empowered culture throughout the organisation in a short period of time; all whilst keeping my budget on track and gaining community trust.  Janelle unlocked the more powerful leader within me, that one that had been craving to emerge.  I am now more confident, open and calm - my emotional intelligence is at an all time high!  I use my voice and ask for what I want and need, resulting in more respect from my peers and the organisation.  I am able to clearly articulate my vision and rejoice as my team responds.  The change in me has been so impactful, I have received compliments and positive feedback from multiple colleagues. Working with Janelle is by far the best investment I have made in myself as a leader and the results I have achieved and continue to achieve both professionally and personally have far exceeded my expectations. The things that I have learnt and put into practice in such a short period of time I know will serve me for the rest of my life and will help me to continue to grow as a leader. I have already recommended Janelle to colleagues, and my organisation, and will continue to do so.

"Since working with Janelle I have gained a much stronger sense of confidence and inner strength, become a better leader and thinker and feel calmer in my day to day life.

SL Collidge, Hyatt Group, Sydney

I think coaching is for everyone, we all have things about ourselves that we would like to change or become better at or explore further. Coaching with someone like Janelle allows you to do that. To break down barriers and really get to the bottom of what is holding you back in any area of your life. I think to have coaching is like investing into yourself, if you don’t no one else will. 

 

I just love meeting with Janelle, I liken it to meeting up with an old friend. She is both warm and nurturing but fair and honest when needed. That’s what I love about Janelle there is a great balance and I think that’s why her coaching is so effective.  

 

Since I started working with Janelle I have gained a much stronger sense of confidence and inner strength, become a better leader and thinker and feel calmer in my day to day life with the tools and knowledge that Janelle has shared with me.  I have clearer goals and plans for the future and am well on my way to achieving them.  

 

I really would recommend working with Janelle to anyone who is looking to push the boundaries, get out of their comfort zone and unlock their true potential.

"I definitely recommend Janelle. I have found my time with her to be very valuable and has set me in the right direction to achieving my goals."

Rodney L, Lead Engineer, Melbourne

Thank you Janelle, for your help and support over the past few months.  Public speaking was something I knew I had to master to move forward towards my career aspirations but it was also something I used to avoid!  Since working with Janelle I have gone from almost no public speaking to giving at least one presentation to small and large groups every week.   I can move forward in my career with the knowledge that I have valuable content to share and the confidence that I can present it in a clear and engaging way.  Working with Janelle gave me the opportunity to share/vent my concerns/worries with and then being given a different perspective to tackle my problems from.  She is warm and friendly and a great listener.   Janelle was also very thorough when detailing our meetings and establishing a plan of action. I would definitely recommend Janelle. I have found my time with her to be very valuable and has set me in the right direction to achieving my goals. I will be booking more sessions with her in the future!

Tamzin McLennan, Local Government Communications

I love working with people who who push, inspire and challenge me and I certainly found that with Janelle.  My self doubt has diminished and my confidence has soared, both professionally and personally.  I have achieved one professional goal whilst during our time together and am excited to pursue the next one.  I have received the tools I was seeking to step into my vision.  I highly recommend Janelle and have already done so.
