I work with leaders who carry responsibility, helping them operate from identity, systemic thinking and stability rather than pressure or performance. Clients gain the clarity they need to advance confidently and act decisively. They discover the upstream perspectives needed to accelerate their career progression and professional development. Whether it’s a conversation around your performance or that of your team, we will take a pragmatic approach to facing any struggles from an elevated awareness. My work integrates 25+ years of leadership and martial arts lineage to help leaders operate with self-mastery, discipline and identity‑level presence. This develops a standard I call Black Belt Leadership. Trusted by senior leaders from organisations such as: Harvey Norman, KPMG, NAB, IHG Hotels, JB Hifi, Victoria University, NBN, Zeus Street Greek and Enterprise Ireland. If you’re carrying real responsibility and want greater clarity, presence and identity‑level alignment, let’s have a strategic conversation.

I help professionals, leaders and business owners move past stress, overthinking and self-doubt so they can make clearer decisions, communicate with more confidence and perform without burning themselves out. Over 100 professionals and leaders have trusted me to support them through periods of pressure, uncertainty, transition and personal growth. The people I work with are not lacking ability. They are capable, intelligent and driven. But inside, they often feel something different: • They overthink decisions. • They struggle to switch off after work. • They feel pressure to prove themselves. • They doubt themselves more than people realise. • They know they are capable of more, but feel stuck in their own head. That hidden pressure can quietly affect confidence, leadership, relationships, health and career direction. My work helps you change that. I combine mindset coaching, practical tools and breathwork to help you create change at three levels: • Mental clarity - so you can understand your patterns and stop getting trapped in overthinking. • Nervous system regulation - so stress, pressure and emotional overwhelm do not keep running the show. • Identity and confidence work - so you stop performing success and start feeling grounded in who you are. This is not surface-level motivation or generic advice. The work is practical, honest and deeply personal. We look at what is actually happening underneath the stress, hesitation or lack of confidence, then build new ways of thinking, acting and leading that feel natural and sustainable. Before starting Reset With Richie, I spent over a decade in the corporate world, including senior leadership roles and leading teams across Asia Pacific. On paper, I was successful. Internally, I knew what it was like to feel pressure, lose direction, rely on unhealthy habits and wonder why achievement still did not feel fulfilling. In 2020, I began rebuilding my own life from the inside out. Through coaching, breathwork, structure, self-awareness and deep inner work, I created the clarity, confidence and inner peace I had been searching for. I founded Reset With Richie in 2021 to help other professionals create the same kind of transformation. Clients often come to me for support with: • Overthinking and decision-making • Confidence and self-doubt • Building healthier habits • Stress and overwhelm • Leadership presence • Emotional regulation • Imposter syndrome • Burnout prevention • Career direction • Life transitions If you are ready to stop carrying everything alone and want support that is practical, honest and tailored to you, I would be happy to speak.

Key Areas of Business and Career Expertise

Professional coaching in Australia covers a wide spectrum of corporate and entrepreneurial needs. Specialists typically focus on these core pillars:

  • Executive Leadership: Developing the emotional intelligence and strategic decision-making skills required to lead large teams in the Australian corporate world.
  • Career Transitioning: Providing the tactical support needed to pivot industries, including personal branding, interview mastery, and networking strategies.
  • Business Scaling and Strategy: Working with founders to refine their business models, improve profitability, and manage the pressures of rapid growth.
  • Work-Life Integration: Helping high-achievers find a sustainable balance to prevent burnout while maintaining a trajectory toward their professional goals.

What to Expect from a Professional Coaching Partnership

While every professional journey is unique, an Australian coaching engagement usually follows a results-oriented methodology:

  • Gap Analysis: A deep dive into your current skills, challenges, and market position to identify exactly what is holding you back from your next promotion or business breakthrough.
  • Strategic Roadmapping: The creation of a bespoke action plan with clear KPIs to track your progress and keep you accountable to your higher ambitions.
  • Ongoing Mentorship: Regular high-level check-ins to navigate real-time challenges, from difficult boardroom negotiations to managing a team through organizational change. The ultimate goal is to provide Australian professionals with the clarity and confidence required to dominate their market and achieve lasting success.

Before I started working together with Jacqueline from JS Leader Development, I was experiencing personal and professional challenges, particularly in dealing with confrontation in a professional setting which encompassed many sleepless nights, increased anxiety, and a constant feeling of being overwhelmed due to not being able to deal with confrontation/conflict. This issue was affecting my personal life, family, and overall ability to communicate. During my first meeting with Jacqueline, she was able to describe, connect and resonate with exactly how I was feeling, explain to me that I am not alone in this journey and guided me through some breathing techniques to slow down my heartbeats and start calmly from there. That made my decision very easy to work with Jacqueline as my coach. Jacqueline helped me realise the importance of self-reflection and acknowledging/congratulating yourself with any win (no matter how small). This was huge as it helped me switch off from constantly thinking about work, focus on my personal life, and made me feel refreshed & reenergised when I switch back on for work. One of the biggest shifts for me was learning how to regulate my emotional response in moments of stress or conflict. Through Jacqueline’s coaching, I developed practical tools to pause, and breathe, which is helping me respond with clarity rather than react from a place of anxiety. I also became more aware about how self-criticism was fueling my stress. The full sessions gave me the space to reflect deeply, uncover my body-language patterns with difficult conversations, issues, meetings and come up with proactive strategies to manage this stress. Recognising this pattern has enabled me to prepare better for my work day and manage these difficult situations. I am now more confident with self-reflection, awareness, calming my nerves, and these three things are helping me proactively manage upcoming days where I foresee challenges with difficult conversations/meetings. Jacqueline has a unique ability to listen with empathy while also challenging me in a way that feels supportive and constructive. Her calm presence, and insightful questions, make me feel heard, understood, and empowered. She never rushes the process and always meets me exactly where I am. I would say: If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, lost in a constant spiral or unsure how to move forward—coaching with Jacqueline is a gift you can give yourself. It’s about uncovering your strengths, shifting your mindset, and building your tools that can truly transform you.
