Jayne Chater

Associate

Jayne is a leading Executive Coach and Leadership Development specialist who is passionate about supporting people to self-actualise their lives and careers. Well known for her expertise in working with professional women to enhance their careers and developing women into leadership, Jayne has over 20 years’ experience across many sectors, different organisations, and varying levels of leadership.

A compassionate challenger, Jayne creates space for people to discover their own unique thinking and behaviour style that defines and drives them to be their own version of success. Jayne is a staunch working parents advocate. Her own journey inspired her to create and deliver programmes to support new mothers and organisations as they navigate this important transition back to the workplace and beyond – and as mothers, manage the ongoing struggle of the juggle. She has developed a well-known return-to-work programme, Reconnect, that is used widely across organisations and sectors. She is the author of A Slight Detour, a resource on how to successfully navigate your family and career.

Jayne also works with leaders navigating authentic, or as she calls it, ‘real’ leadership. She focuses on the value of effectively leading and developing others, versus being a technical expert in a management role – a focus she wished she had for her first leadership roles. She believes in the power of coaching as an everyday approach that can be embedded into business-as-usual.

A leadership competency she believes all leaders need to develop, Jayne lives and breathes the juggle every day. As a mum of three teenage young women and two bonus children, she navigates the integration of many roles in her career and life.
