About Me

About Jeanette

Jeanette is a rule breaker (there, I’ve said it!). From an early age she was challenging the status quo and wondering how to make the world a better place. As a child she was infinitely curious and had a huge hunger for knowledge, and her greatest ambition was to be famous (I think you could interpret that as meaning, she wanted to be someone of significance!)

Jeanette is an Associate Credentialed Coach (ACC) with the International Coaching Federation, a recognition of her commitment to best practice, deep knowledge, practical coaching experience and ongoing professional development.  

Jeanette has a Bachelor’s Degree in Veterinary Science  and throughout a diverse 30+ year career (including senior community and regional development positions in government, science, agriculture and in private practice as a veterinary practitioner), her commitment has always been to helping people live better lives; whether this be influencing policy and helping female leaders have a voice in government, or through ground breaking medical research, or ensuring people have a happy, healthy companion animal in life. With almost 20 years’ experience in facilitation and training, and running  her consultancy business AspireConnect for 10 years, life has never been boring.  

Rise Coaching and Development was born in the middle of the pandemic, out of a desire to bring Jeanette’s facilitation and training skills together with her new-found passion, skills and love of coaching, combined with her extensive professional career.

Jeanette is passionate about living an unconventional life, where people matter,  and encouraging others to do the same.

She believes that by living with courage and purpose, and challenging expectations and assumptions, that life can be richer, more vibrant, and infinitely more rewarding, and make the world a better place.
