Coaching for leaders at turning points. Clarity, alignment and confidence in how you lead. If you find yourself carrying a lot on your own, I help you find clarity, alignment and strength. I work with leaders and professionals who want to communicate with confidence, navigate challenges with greater ease, and feel clearer about their direction.

Working with Jacqueline has been such a gift. She has a beautiful way of making you feel seen, heard and capable, and our conversations gave me the clarity and confidence to finally lean into the things I'd been putting off.

Thank you for such a generous review. It has been a joy to work with you and to see you trust yourself more with each session. Your willingness to lean into what you had been putting off says a great deal about your courage. The steps you have taken are very much your own.

Life Coaching

About 18 months ago I stumbled across life coaches on Bark, not knowing what to expect aside from wanting more from my life but unsure where/how to point myself in that direction.

Dear Naomi, Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful reflection. It has been inspiring to see your positive and progressive attitude shine through. As my work continues to evolve, I have decided that I will shortly be stepping away from Bark and focusing more fully on the next stage of my coaching and mentoring journey. For anyone wishing to explore leadership, life coaching, mentoring, or professional growth conversations further, you are warmly welcome to connect with me directly via: https://www.jsleaderdevelopment.com.au/ Warm regards, Jacqueline Stratfold

Thank you, Asher. It's been a privilege to work alongside you during such an important transition. Your willingness to do the deep work and shift from 'winging it' to truly preparing made all the difference - I simply helped you discover what you were already capable of. I'm delighted to hear about your progress and wish you continued success in this next chapter of your career.

Jacqueline has been a huge help in my development as a junior executive in Government. Her ability to truly listen and understand the challenges I was facing made a real difference.

Thank you for this thoughtful feedback. It's been genuinely rewarding to work with someone who brought such strong insights and self-awareness to our sessions. Your confidence and clarity about your own leadership strengths made our work together particularly productive. My role was really about creating the space for you to refine what you already knew and helping you articulate that effectively, whether in applications, interviews, or navigating the complexities of your executive role. I'm glad our sessions supported you in ways that made a difference. Thank you for the recommendation, and I look forward to hearing about your continued success in government leadership.
