Career Coaching

“Coaching is taking a player where they can’t take themselves.

Jose Mourinho

How do you know when it’s time to make a change?

Coaching is a powerful tool that can help you to refocus, reframe and reflect so that you feel more in control of your career.

As a leader of large teams, Jo quickly realised that coaching, rather than just managing, led to better results. She learned powerful techniques from top professional coaches and later earned a Graduate Certificate in Organisational Coaching from Swinburne University in Australia.

Today, Jo works with individuals and executives to help them grow, overcome challenges, and gain clarity on their goals. Whether navigating a career shift, tackling obstacles, or exploring new opportunities, coaching provides a structured yet flexible way to move forward with confidence.

How it works

Jo’s mid-career reset for leaders is a structured 1:1 engagement that typically includes 6-8 sessions of 45 minutes to an hour, held fortnightly or monthly—either in person or online.

The investment varies depending on scope and duration. Please enquire for details.

Communications Coaching for Business Leaders

As a business leader, you know that great communication can make a big difference. However, there are so many things competing for your time and attention that it doesn’t always get to the top of your to-do list. Many people don’t feel confident presenting or writing might not be your natural strength.

Jo provides communications training in how to:

  • Confidently present to your Board or senior leadership
  • Understand how to motivate your people to deliver a top performance
  • Explain your business strategy to your team in an engaging way
  • Develop a communication style that is authentic to you

Communicate.
Simply. Clearly. Quickly.

Corporate Communications

Communication can make or break a business project

Announcing a new business deal requires a very different style of communication from implementing a company restructure.

To get it right, you need an expert with a proven track record in planning and delivering projects that interact with many stakeholders. You don’t need to know whether you need media relations, government relations, employee communications, change communications or community engagement. At Alexander & Associates Advisory, we work all this out for you and help you communicate effectively to each audience in a tone and style that gets results.

We align the communications strategy with the business objective and craft a compelling narrative.

Effective Communication Keeps Everyone On Track

Keeps Everyone Aligned

Great communication ensures that messages are clear and consistent, and everyone, from leaders to frontline teams, knows what’s expected of them.

Reduces Uncertainty & Pushback

Stakeholders don’t like being in the dark, so explaining why a project is happening and what it means for them increases buy-in.

Builds Trust & Engagement

When people feel informed and heard, they’re more likely to be confident in you and your company

Protects Your Brand & Customer Trust

How you communicate with customers, investors and the public can shape your company’s reputation

“Good Communication
is the bridge
between
confusion and clarity
