PARTNERING WITH LEADERS
AND TEAMS TO THRIVE
Welcome to Momentum First. 2025 calls for a different kind of leadership. Leaders who balance high performance with genuine compassion, who inspire values-driven innovation and foster connection in hybrid, fast-paced environments. Building transformational leadership across many sectors; education, tech, health, sports, government and design, we partner with our clients to create inclusive, collaborative cultures where people thrive.
We support leaders and teams to perform at their best with evidence-based skills, knowledge and strategies that build wellbeing, exceptional leadership and resilience. Drawing from the fields of psychology, neuroscience, transformational leadership, mental health and organisational change, our clients partner with us to access world-class leadership coaching, facilitation and training in an ever-changing and complex business environment.
For leaders, organisations and teams, using our experience of how leaders and teams thrive, we deliver keynote presentations, workshops, individual and group coaching and training. Our passion is building individual and collective strengths and transforming cultures to thrive through uncertainty. We work closely with our clients to co-design evidence-based coaching and leadership interventions that produce measurable results and sustainable change.
Schools, parents and adolescents: we provide parenting talks, school staff mental health and wellbeing talks, and a range of programs that build the knowledge, skills and confidence in the areas of adolescent wellbeing, mental health, harnessing technology for wellbeing, raising happy and resilient teens, fun quiz nights, and staff and parent breakfasts.
Introduction to Coaching
Women make up more than half of Australia’s workforce, yet remain underrepresented in senior leadership—just 9% of ASX 300 CEOs and 13.7% of board chairs are women. Structural barriers, cultural biases, and internal challenges like imposter syndrome and burnout often hinder progress.
Coaching offers tailored support to help women overcome these obstacles, build confidence, and strengthen leadership presence. While public sector representation shows what’s possible with intentional effort, coaching empowers women to go further—moving from surviving to thriving, leading with purpose, and creating lasting change in their organizations and communities.

Every engagement is tailored—whether developing executives, strengthening teams, or building a coaching culture—ensuring alignment with personal values and organisational goals. Our human-centered approach empowers leaders to cultivate self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and authentic presence.
With a global network of skilled coaches, we deliver flexible programs across cultures—face-to-face, hybrid, or virtual—while providing dashboards and evaluation tools to track progress. Beyond immediate results, we help embed a coaching mindset into organisations, creating lasting growth, resilience, and inclusive leadership cultures.

The eight pillars of wellbeing that boost your energy and reignite your relationships.
- BETWEEN SESSIONS
In between sessions is where the magic often happens. To facilitate your reflection and growth, we have a range of tools and recordings that you can use to inspire, motivate and develop your thinking.
- YOUR DASHBOARD
Your client dashboard is where you will find templates, diagnostics, tools, articles, and videos to draw upon in your self-paced coaching journey.

Your Coaching Handbook contains many of the tools that we will use in our sessions all in the one place for ease of access.
- WORKSHOPS AND EVENTS
We have a highly impactful range of events and signature talks designed to inspire and motivate your teams to perform at their best.
- COACHING AS A LINKING CONVERSATION
Coaching conversations are more than just reflective dialogues—they are transformational spaces where the inner world of the client (values, beliefs, emotions, identity) meets the outer world (roles, relationships, responsibilities, and societal expectations). This bridging is central to effective coaching because sustainable change happens when personal awareness aligns with purposeful action.
INTERNAL CONTEXT
The internal context includes:
- Core values, personal purpose, and identity
- Emotions, mindset, and habitual thought patterns
- Inner narratives, strengths, and shadow elements
In coaching, we explore this terrain to:
- Build self-awareness and self-compassion
- Surface patterns and internal drivers
- Clarify personal meaning and intention
EXTERNAL CONTEXT
The Client’s Real-World Landscape. The outer context is what the client navigates daily:
- Their team, organisation, and industry
- Cultural, structural, and relational dynamics
- Roles, expectations, and systemic pressures
Coaching helps clients map how they show up in these environments:
- What expectations or systems shape their actions?
- What are the tensions or dissonances between their role and their values?
- Where do they have agency to lead differently?
This includes applying models like the Emerging Leaders frameworks and Leadership Micro-Habits Toolkit to practical challenges.
MOMENTUM COACHING PHILOSOPHY:
Drawing on the fields of positive psychology, behavioural science, and neuroscience, we contextualise the coaching into the systems that our clients are operating in – therefore, systemic coaching!
