🚀 I help ambitious professionals who feel stuck start living a life they love 💥 Jess is the values-led woman behind the values-led business.

We are a values-led business that’s passionate about creating spaces to decrease the amount of stress that we as a society collectively and individually experience. We do this through our range of services that create a holistic and well-rounded approach to wellbeing rather than treating each element as a separate piece. These pieces fit together, so we’ve designed and created them in a way that is founded in service and enables growth. As a business, we value communication • ethical leadership • accountability • kindness • equality • learning & relearning (no matter your title) • creating mental & emotional space for ourselves and each other • empowerment • practicing emotional intelligence • being willing to try, even if you screw up (and allowing people to screw up in their process of growth). Having spent most of her adult life actively in various forms of self-development, particularly when it comes to the stresses of a corporate work life, Jess eventually decided to put her quals in Communication & Public Relations, and yoga and mindfulness to even better use and, thus, what has become J-Leigh was born. With experience in corporate and leadership communication, marketing & PR, team program management in high performance sports at the national level for para-athletes, a balanced, insightful and deeply caring approach to the what and ‘why’ for yoga to ensure it’s a safe space physically and soulfully, and a double degree in literally communicating and relating to others, Jess is a woman on a mission to help others in these areas that can feel big and overwhelming, particularly when under stress. Caring so much about the mental and emotional space others are in, Jess has also completed additional training for trauma-informed yoga and certificate-level 3 in Counselling for PTSD in order to do due diligence in the space she holds for and words she uses with others. Jess is an organised creative at heart – she thrives when there’s a new passion project to dive into and figure out in order to bring it in its best, most useful form to the world, but unlike the stereotypical creative, she’ll make sure you feel like everything is taken care of and you have all the up-to-date information you need at every step of the way (and usually ahead of time!) It’s that anticipation and checking in of needs Jess does that has resonated with so many of her clients, students, and athletes and has resulted in such a positive effect in their experiences in working with her!

I know it’s Friday but it’s time we talked about the fact that your leadership has a direct commercial impact (whether you’re paying attention to it or not).
This can come from the decisions you make, the conversations you avoid 👀, the way you respond when things don’t go to plan, how you are being with your team, and your energy hygiene (or lack thereof).

NONE of these happen in isolation from the performance of your business.
And yet, it seems incredibly easy to invest in systems, marketing, technology, and professional development for everyone else, while still treating your own leadership and wellbeing as something that doesn’t really impact the same things, and that you’ll get to. Eventually.

What’s it costing you to keep operating the way you currently are?
Yes, financially. AND… in missed opportunities, unnecessary friction, depleted energy, or the amount of mental space work occupies you outside of working hours.
What might become possible if you approached your own development with the same intention you bring to growing your business in those more traditionally accepted ways? (Only because they ‘look’ like growing the business, so are often much more easily justified).

This is the work I do - through positive psychology coaching, embodied leadership development, and strategic immersion experiences, I help business owners and leaders develop the capacity to make better decisions, navigate complexity, and sustain their performance WELL, without asking you to squeeze more into your day just to do it.

There are two ways to work with me 1:1:
Ongoing leadership and wellbeing coaching, for those who want sustained development and personalised support.
Or a Strategy & Planning Immersion Day (this can also be multiple directors in the room), for those who want dedicated space to think, make decisions, and map their next steps strategically.

BOTH are available internationally.

If either sounds like what you need, send me a message. We can talk about which approach makes the most sense for you!

You don’t need to wait until you’re struggling to benefit from coaching.
I think this is one of the biggest misconceptions about investing in your own development, and it holds so many people back from valuable progress (inner and outer).
This idea that you need to be burnt out, overwhelmed, stuck, or at some kind of breaking point before you seek or deserve support is the biggest load of BS.

What I actually see is that some of the most valuable coaching happens when things are already going well - when you’re feeling generally capable, ambitious, experienced, and like you’re achieving things you’re proud of.
And you’ve just recognised there’s another level of leadership and wellbeing BEYOND YOUR BASELINE that you’d like to develop to.

This is where positive psychology coaching makes it particularly interesting, because we don’t need to start from the assumption that something is wrong (though there can definitely be things you’d like to tweak or transition away from). We get to start with what’s already working, what you’re capable of, where your strengths are, and go from there.

My 1:1 coaching is for business owners and leaders who want a thoughtful, personalised approach to their development, with someone who can challenge your thinking, support your wellbeing, bring evidence-informed practices into the conversation, and help you translate insight and ideas into strategy and action.
👏 You can be doing well already, and still want to lead better 👏
If that’s wher you are, I’d love to work with you! Reach out to me directly and I’ll share my 1:1 coaching options with you.

Most business owners or directors don’t need another productivity hack (even if that’s what you think you do).
Often, you just need a proper day to think clearly and strategically - with all relevant pieces considered.
A day without the emails, meetings, notifications, and seventeen people needing something from you (and ultimately interrupting your focus and work flow).

What would it feel like to have a day where you get to lift your head out of the daily operations of your business, and look at where you’re actually going (as well as where you WANT to go)?

That’s what my Strategy & Planning Immersion Days are designed for.
We create space to explore the bigger picture, challenge your assumptions (for your greater good), work through decisions, and get clear on what matters next.

But I’m not gonna create just another beautifully organised list of things for you to do either.
We also look at YOU.

Your capacity, your energy, your leadership, your priorities.
There’s not much point creating an ambitious business strategy that requires you to operate in a permanently exhausted state to deliver it. In fact, I’m gonna try my absolute hardest to not let you!

I bring together strategic thinking, positive psychology coaching, leadership development, and embodied practices to make the day both productive and genuinely useful.
You leave with clearer direction, practical next steps, and a better understanding of what you need to lead the next chapter well.

If you’re a business owner or director (these are 1:1 OR with small groups of directors) who’s been craving the space to think strategically, I’d love to host you for a Strategy & Planning Immersion Day.
 Reach out to me directly and I’ll share the details!

ONE WHOLE MONTH of ‘Leaders Who Thrive: A Mindful Antidote to Disconnected Teams’ being out in the world, the Wild, and your hands 🌏🤲🏼
(Feat a hardback copy that has reached its new home too! 😍)

I’m loving the stories of people reading it on their train commute, or one chapter per day to help them keep focused and integrate a piece at a time. Those who are so excited to dive into it now their business team is growing 🤩, those who have been checking their mailbox daily until it arrived, and even those who are keen to read it and then surreptitiously leave it on their manager’s desk as a subtle/not so subtle hint 👀😂

It’s truly a delightful feeling knowing she’s out there in the world, with words that help people feel supported, understood, challenged in useful ways, and even inspired.

If you haven’t yet, you can grab your copy at https://jessicajasch.com/ (or Dymocks Brisbane on Queen St if you enjoy that bookstore feeling just as much as I do 🥰)

Leadership sometimes REQUIRES a collaborative approach with your people to work, especially when there’s friction.

When someone on your team isn’t performing, how do you know whether it’s a leadership issue or an individual accountability issue?

It’s easy to label someone as difficult, disengaged or underperforming. It’s equally easy for conscientious leaders to take responsibility for problems that aren’t entirely theirs to solve.

In this episode of Get Jasched, we’re exploring how to distinguish leadership problems from people problems, why the answer is often both, and five practical questions to help you respond with greater clarity, fairness and confidence.

Drawing on positive psychology, emotional intelligence and real-world leadership challenges, we unpack how to balance compassion with accountability, without falling into the blame game.

A big misnomer about my work, wellbeing, and even positive psychology in general is that you (might) think it’s just me telling you to think happy thoughts.

Like… Big LOL at that. I’d drive my own self nuts with that approach.

Positive psychology is the scientific study of what helps people and communities function well, develop their strengths, and flourish.

And it’s been around for close to 30 years (longer than some of those newer concepts you might have already gotten fully on board with, with far less scrutiny 🧐)

When we bring that into coaching, it means we’re asking some pretty useful questions.

What actually helps you perform at your best?

What gives you energy, purpose, and a sense of agency?

What strengths are you underutilising?

What patterns are limiting your capacity to lead effectively?

And what needs to change in your environment, behaviours, and relationships to support sustainable performance?

This is the kind of work I LOVE doing with business owners and leaders. Like, genuinely.

Not because I think everyone needs to be happy all the time (they don’t, and they shouldn’t, and if you are, I immediately side-eye you 👀)

Moreso because I fundamentally believe there’s a significant difference between being successful while constantly running yourself into the ground, and building the capacity to be successful AND well.

Because I have several tools in my belt, by coaching brings positive psychology together with leadership development, personalised wellbeing, and embodied practices. We work with your thinking, your behaviour, your physiology, and the realities of your professional life.

You don’t leave your nervous system or humanness at the door when you walk into a boardroom, and you shouldn’t HAVE to leave your wellbeing behind to build something meaningful. I just canNOT get on board with the concept that success and thriving in your work means you must sacrifice how you feel.

I’m having conversations for 1:1 leadership and wellbeing coaching now - if you’re ready to invest in how you lead (not just what you achieve), let’s talk! Reach out to me directly or email [email protected]

Ever wondered the difference between coaching and therapy?
Because what I do isn’t therapy. I’m not a therapist.

But I have ‘Positive Psychology’ in my title, so I get where it could be confusing. Without speaking for all the therapists and their work out there, I wanted to clarify the difference between the work I do with leaders and business owners, and the work someone might do with a therapist.

Therapy can help people work through psychological distress, mental health challenges, past experiences, and patterns that are impacting their lives (basic level - they do so much more but for the point of distinction).

I work with people who want to intentionally develop how they think, lead, respond, make decisions, and show up in their work and lives.
Through positive psychology coaching, nervous system education, embodied leadership practices, and personalised wellbeing strategies, we look at things like:
- What’s supporting or undermining your ability to perform well (from these perspectives)?
- How are your patterns of thinking and responding influencing your leadership?
- What would help you make clearer decisions, navigate pressure, and build better relationships?
- How do we strategically help create the conditions for you to thrive, rather than simply keep up?

My job isn’t able to diagnose or treat you - but it’s also not about pretending that a few positive thoughts will fix everything (we don’t do toxic positivity over here!)
Our work together is developmental, evidence-informed work that connects your wellbeing with how you actually operate in the world.

It’s also not based on an hourly transaction. The value is measured by what you’re able to do differently BECAUSE of our work (not just the time spent together).

If you’re a business owner who wants to develop your capacity to lead and perform well, without sacrificing your wellbeing to do it, I’d love to have a conversation. Send me a message or email [email protected] and we’ll chat about what working together could look like for you.

I had a client consult this week who specifically said “I don’t want what someone’s going to just ask AI. I want to hear what someone knows based on research and understanding.”
I think I visited heaven for just a moment!

Anyway, if you would also like to explore 1:1 leadership and wellbeing coaching that relies on evidence-based and research-supported practices, positive psychology + personalised health coaching, and mindset support, I’ve got spots open that you could take before November!
Reach out directly or email [email protected] and let me know - I can share more info from there :)

Over a week since the book launch, and it’s a wild (but kind of incredible) feeling knowing that she’s out there in so many hands, homes, and handbags now!

One of the questions so generously asked at the event was how *else* could this book and this first time author be supported. If you have a copy of the book already (or are awaiting yours), here’s a reminder of how you can help it share a little wider 🥰

LEAVE A REVIEW - on Amazon, Booktopia, Dymocks, Goodreads. Anywhere online where people might see it!
GIFT THE BOOK- the holidays are coming up. It’d make a great Christmas present for a reader in your midst 👀
SHARE IT ONLINE - sharing a pic of it on your stories or as a post is always helpful (especially for a first time author) and ALWAYS appreciated!
