Jean Burke

“Awareness is the greatest agent for change.”

Eckhart Tolle

I specialise in enabling leaders and their teams to thrive in high-stakes, high-stress environments.

Prioritising resilience and wellbeing, as well as great communication practices, are proven to enhance an organisation’s ability to adapt and respond to change. Yet far too often these are the very things that get sacrificed when we are under pressure to deliver against ever-increasing targets and workloads.

Through a blend of coaching, consultancy, and reflective practice I help leaders and their teams explore their performance, build psychologically safe cultures, and make sustainable changes to working practices thereby enabling them to maximise their potential and flourish even when times are tough.

For more information on how I can help you or your organisation see below.

Brilliant session...Jean was extremely insightful.
Internal Comms Senior Leader
Thank you so much, that was such a great session and fantastic to share experiences and know that we’ve not been in this alone. Great advice and learnings from Jean, and from the groups. Thank you again.
Corporate Communications Director
I really enjoyed the topic and also getting a chance to network in the breakout sessions. I’ve joined a number of webinar sessions so far – topics are great, but the opportunity to chat to others is limited so it was great to use the technology.
Internal Comms Professional
Awesome discussion. Really great to connect with other individuals who are facing similar challenges in the Covid‑19 space. Lots of food for thought and a realisation that I am ‘kinda doing’ a lot of the right things but other powerful ideas as to what I could do.
Senior Leader.
A brilliant couple of days, thank you! Feeling confident about next year as a team working closely together.
Senior Leader
It was great to have a session with tangible outputs and useful new tools and ways of working. Came out really excited about the future.
Workshop participant
After my first session with Jean, I felt like a weight had lifted from my shoulders. She has enabled me to reflect and see patterns in my approach to work. I had no boundaries. Jean has helped me manage ‘live’ work situations and develop strategies to apply to future scenarios.
Senior Leader, Creative Industries
Working with Jean has been the best investment in me and my career.
Senior Leader Creative Industries
Jean came to me highly recommended. It was my first experience of coaching and I felt a little apprehensive. However, during the courtesy introductory session Jean’s warm, professional and quietly probing approach put me at ease and made me realise we would work well together. After 3 two-hour sessions I felt I had really turned a corner. I had acquired a deeper understanding of my responses to situations and had strategies to deal with them moving forward. I had more clarity regarding my career aspirations and a much better idea of how to achieve them. I would not hesitate to recommend Jean.
Senior Legal professional
I was just reflecting on the session and wanted to say a big thank you for guiding us through to a great outcome. The honesty and commitment shown to get to an improved way of prioritising, scoping, delivering and measuring campaigns makes me feel very confident that we’ll get to a truly integrated approach. Talk about solving BIG business challenges!

That was fantastic today Jean, thank you, it's been a fairly mammoth couple of weeks of sessions and you've dealt with it all wonderfully.
