What does Jane specialise in?

Jane specialises in personal branding, strategic communications and trust-building for consultants, experts and thought leaders. She clarifies your unique value, builds your authentic influence and helps you design an expert brand (including consultant branding) that is easily monetisable and will attract the right opportunities.

Who does Jane work with?

As a business coach in Brisbane, a business coach for consultants and thought leaders and online business coach nationwide and globally, Jane works with experts, consultants, coaches and thought leaders. These are all individuals who want to share their expertise with clearer positioning, real visibility and via a scalable practice, in a way that won’t lead to overwhelm or burnout. She works with individuals who are established authorities and those that are just getting into position to elevate and scale to help amplify impact and monetise knowledge.

What makes Jane's approach to growing a practice unique?

Jane's approach is built on rigour — the same enterprise-grade discipline she used designing capability programs for 10,000+ people now applied to building world-class consulting practices. Jane’s approach is unique because she blends deep strategic clarity with a focus on trust-building as the foundation of influence. She doesn’t just help you craft messaging but guides you to authentically own your unique value and connect meaningfully with your ideal audience and move them into your pipeline. Her business development consulting programs all work to align brand, marketing and sales. Jane breaks growth into manageable, progressive steps that helps you define the ideal client, strategise positioning and content to support that positioning, embrace the right systems and support and use tools (such as AI) and platforms (such as LinkedIn) to build a cohesive, sustainable pathway. She breaks this journey into clear, actionable steps that anyone can implement – even with a busy consultant’s schedule – linking brand development with business development and a practical marketing strategy.

What's the difference between a thought leader and a consultant? (And which am I?)

A consultant solves defined client problems with tailored advice; a thought leader shapes the market conversation with original IP that creates demand. A helpful way to distinguish is to look at where you’re currently putting your energy and focus. If you spend most of your time solving specific client problems through tailored advice or projects, you’re primarily consulting. If you’re actively creating and sharing original ideas, shaping industry conversations and building an audience who follows your perspective, you’re embracing thought leadership. Most of Jane’s clients are on a spectrum – but are generally looking to elevate to thought leadership because thought leadership amplifies your reach and credibility, which in turn can enrich your consulting opportunities. Thought leadership, packaged well, also improves consulting sales and supports a scalable consulting business model. It’s perfectly OK regardless of where you’re on the spectrum, or if you’re somewhere in between. Jane can help you scale from where you are.

Does Jane offer one-on-one or group coaching?

Jane offers both one-on-one and group coaching because each format serves different client needs and experiences and at different times. One-on-one coaching provides personalised, deep-dive guidance tailored to an individual’s unique goals, while group coaching fosters peer learning, accountability, and broader networking opportunities. Each is valuable and useful and most clients will use both avenues during their time working with Jane. Delivery is also available in person and online, whi ch means you have acce ss to Jane’s business coaching work whether you’re in Brisbane or need an online coach across Australia.

Can Jane help me implement workflows, systems and processes within my practice?

Uniquely among coaches, Jane is not afraid to get her hands dirty. She not only helps you clarify your brand and strategy but also guides you in implementing practical processes, workflows, systems and even support that can bring structure, efficiency and scalability to your practice. This includes setting up content systems, client engagement workflows and visibility routines tailored to your capacity and goals that can be used across your entire team – the backbone of a sustainable consultancy business development engine.

Can Jane work directly with my VA?

Yes, Jane often collaborates directly with clients’ virtual assistants as part of building a scalable consulting marketing strategy which includes effective systems and streamlining content, marketing or administrative workflows. Through this approach, your VA will have a better understanding of how to work in your practice efficiently to support you, and help you amplify your influence.

Does Jane only work with women?

Jane is well known as a female business coach and women’s business coach, but her expertise and coaching are designed to serve all professionals – regardless of gender – who aspire to build trusted, influential personal brands and thought leadership practices. Of course, many of her clients are women, and she feels uniquely qualified to help women as they face unique challenges (including visibility and sales!), but her principles and strategies apply broadly to any expert seeking greater clarity, influence and sustainable growth.

Can Jane help me elevate to a thought leader?

Absolutely. Helping you elevate to a recognised thought leader is at the heart of Jane’s work in thought leader and consulting coaching. She guides you in clarifying your unique expertise, crafting a compelling personal brand narrative and developing a strategic content ecosystem that builds trust and influence. Jane also supports the mindset shift required to step confidently into greater visibility and impact, all while ensuring your brand remains authentic and aligned with your values.

What's the best way to get started working with Jane?

The best way to get started is by connecting through a discussion call . This chat helps Jane understand your current brand, practice, challenges and goals, and identify the right coaching or program fit for your unique situation. This call also lays the groundwork for a tailored action plan that aligns with your expertise and aspirations. After your initial conversation, Jane typically offers tailored coaching packages or programs that best align with your goals – these might include one-on-one coaching , group programs like Women With Influence or bespoke workshops and strategic guidance. Each option focuses on deepening your brand clarity, amplifying your voice and building systems for sustainable influence. Jane also offers VIP Strategy Days , which can help you really accelerate your practice in one day.

You have expertise worth sharing.

Bring It to Influence Lab

One day. One important presentation.

Influence Lab gives you dedicated time to develop and practise a presentation before you need it to perform.

Each month, Jane brings Influence Lab to a different city.

You bring one presentation connected to a real opportunity.

The day focuses on four things:

1. CLARIFY

What does this audience need to understand, believe, or decide?

2. SHAPE

Build the argument, story, and structure around what matters most.

3. PRESENT

Get the ideas out of the document and into the room. Practise saying them.

4. REFINE

Identify what lands, what gets lost, and what needs to become sharper.

You leave after doing something most professionals rarely give themselves enough time to do:

actually practise the important presentation before the presentation.
