Insight Sessions: Thought Partnership for Leaders

Collaborative think-partnering sessions for when you need stretched thinking & a fresh perspective.

You're used to figuring things out yourself - it’s probably how you got where you are. But there are times when you feel trapped in your own thinking patterns. You know fresh perspective exists, but when it’s just you and your thoughts, it’s surprisingly hard to access. You’re craving a conversation with someone who can step into that mental space with you and help you see what your own brilliant mind might be missing.

Perhaps you’ve worked with coaches before and valued the process, but you know your coach has experience, frameworks, and wisdom - yet too often the process stops at question after question. Sometimes what you really want is their perspective - the very reason you chose to work with them in the first place.

It’s like having another brain in the room: a smart, engaged partner who helps you see what you can’t see alone.

That’s what my Insight Sessions offer:

It’s not coaching, not mentoring, not consulting.

It’s Thought Partnership - a collaborative space where your thinking is stretched, enriched, and sharpened.

You bring your challenges; I bring fresh perspectives, tools, and insights.

Together, we work your thinking until clarity emerges.

  • Nicole Snyders - Strategy & Comms Director

    “Since we have begun sessions, I have seen an increased level of self-awareness and ability to cope with stress and change. It has supported individuals to become more effective in their roles, with less volatility, less stress and increased resilience. It’s created better working relationship with others and helped leaders manage their teams more effectively.”

  • Kelly Pringle - Content Creator & Copywriter

    “Jessica has a way of pulling information out of your head that is truly remarkable and I never walked away from one of our sessions without the feeling that I had had several profound AHA moments! The changes that present themselves after this kind of work are not always comfortable or easy but I have come away with a much deeper sense of knowing myself“

  • Kristin Tennent – Senior CMI Manager

    “Jess seems to verbalise exactly how I’m feeling and I leave with tools I can apply to my life. I have learned so much about myself and the choices I make and am now able to more consciously choose what serves me”

  • Alli Bunting - Program & Ops Director

    “I absolutely loved working with Jessica - she embodies compassion, takes an incredibly personalized approach, and provides lovely insights through her questions and approach so that you can delve deeper into who you are and how you show up in this world.”

  • Louise Duys-Walker - Consultant

    Jess is intuitive and has a nuanced approach. Her gentle, probing approach helped me go deeper for better understanding and greater insights. The awareness has shown me how I can handle things differently to make decisions and drive action and I feel so much more empowered!”

  • Nox Luthuli - Founder & MD

    “Jessica was born for this... her kind heart, beautiful soul and intuitive personality makes it easy to open up and connect with her, and ultimately with the self at a deeper level. She is professional, calm and fully tuned in to help people delve deeper within themselves.”

  • Tanya Monteiro - Business Owner

    “Jessica's depth of knowledge and intuition combined to help me get clear on my own shortcomings without rejecting them but rather accepting them. She helped me explore, accept, and challenge my thoughts and my actions as I connect and re-connect with myself, something I've avoided for a long time. Her keen perception clearly communicated to me what I needed to question in order to get comfortable with this new phase in my life. I cannot recommend Jessica enough in helping get clear on your own goals for living your best life.”

  • Michael Papageorge - Business Owner

    “Jess is great! She has a huge curiosity about people and has a clear and considered way of approaching problems. She is compassionate and also insightful. I found the tools that she provides very useful for gaining perspective on the everyday problems of life that can seem so difficult to overcome. I have gained so much and feel so much happier.”

  • Linda Kuiper- Business Owner

    “Intuitive, challenging, playful and motivating… These are just a few words to describe Jess. I’ve been running my own research agency for 12 years and recently embarked on a journey with Jess to take my business skills to the next level. Jess’s approach is refreshing, non-threatening, insightful and well-paced. I’m loving the experience and the results are already beginning to show.”

  • Kate Lawrie - Heathcare Practitioner

    “My sessions with Jessica were insightful and helped me to gain a deeper awareness and understanding of myself and where I am on my journey. Jess is very intuitive and gently guides and prompts you to think out the box and see the bigger picture.  Each session brought new insights and many "aha" moments. I feel like my awareness opened, expanded and shifted".”

How This Differs from Coaching:

Traditional coaching is built around the idea that you already hold the answers and the coach stays in the lane of inquiry, guiding you to unlock your own wisdom. There’s real value in that.

But sometimes you need something else. You need someone who will:

  • Offer new perspectives and mental models

  • Share tools, research, and frameworks when they’re useful

  • Challenge your assumptions, not just reflect them

  • Ask questions that open up entirely new angles

  • Introduce alternative modalities as the need arises

  • Bring wildcard ideas you wouldn’t arrive at alone

This isn’t “better than” coaching. It’s simply different. A partnership designed for people who are ready for more direct engagement and richer collaboration.

What You Can Expect:

In an Insight Session, you’ll experience the relief of stepping outside your own head and into a conversation that shifts how you see things.

You can expect to:

  • Get fresh perspectives: walk away seeing your challenge from angles you hadn’t considered before.

  • Break out of mental loops: move beyond the patterns that keep you circling the same options and open up new possibilities.

  • Find clarity and ease: replace overwhelm or stuckness with a sense of direction and confidence.

  • Walk away with tools you can use: practical frameworks, ideas, and resources that keep working long after the session.

  • Leave re-energized: feeling lighter, inspired, and ready to take meaningful action on what matters most.

Who It’s For:

Insight Sessions are for leaders who value growth and reflection, but sometimes want more than what traditional coaching provides. You might recognise yourself if:

  • You appreciate coaching, but occasionally wish your coach would share more of their own wisdom and experience.

  • You sometimes feel stuck circling the same thoughts and want someone to help you see things from a different angle.

  • You’d love a trusted sounding board - someone who will both listen and challenge you when you need it.

  • You thrive on personal development and enjoy being stretched with new ideas, tools, and perspectives.

  • You want conversations that leave you clear-headed, inspired, and ready to take act

How it works:

  • You bring the challenge, question, or area you want to explore - work or personal. I bring my experience, research, and frameworks, and together we work your thinking in real time.

  • You remain the expert in your world. My role is to expand and sharpen how you approach it, so you leave with new clarity, ideas, and energy.

  • Sessions can be booked individually or as an ongoing partnership - regular (20–60 minutes) access to expanded thinking whenever challenges arise, decisions need fresh perspective, or you simply want to think out loud with someone who gets it.

  • No formal agendas or scheduled check-ins — just fresh thinking when you need it most.
