Anthea has a real passion for business, instilled in her from an early age, while growing up in the heart of a family business. Being part of a family in business meant she was completely immersed in its culture. It was not a job her parents did that finished at 5pm. It didn't take holidays – it was always on. She loved every minute of it. Anthea couldn’t wait to start work, and found a job as soon as she was able. She loved to work, to learn, and generally be involved with business and its people, soaking up as much of their expertise and experience as possible. She always knew she wanted to help people and make a difference in the world. This quest took her to university to complete a degree in social work, before gaining a Bachelor of Business and Commerce, majoring in Management. After gaining some amazing and invaluable management experience, with a variety of outstanding Australian companies, she established Intelligent Directions, which has allowed her to combine my two passions of business and helping people. Anthea considers herself fortunate in that every day she gets to work with some truly incredible and inspirational business people and support them to grow, scale, transform and triumph. It all starts with a conversation, and develops into a close collaboration to reveal and deliver a winning strategy for business success. Her work is truly a labour of love and she treasures every minute of every business day.

Jeanette is a transformational leadership coach, with 35 years of business, training, and leadership experience, who supports people to unleash their potential and develop their business as a self-expression of who they are and what they care about. She sees many leaders with unique skills and untapped potential who question their ability to lead. Many who operate out of the fear and judgement that who they are isn’t enough, and that what they do won’t be good enough. Jeanette believes that when leaders look to what is within them they can discover potential and uniqueness that was masked by their doubts, changing the conversation they have about themselves from “I’m not enough” to “I am enough”. As a result, Jeanette’s clients trust their decisions and powerfully choose their path forward.

Lucy is a leadership coach who facilitates conversations to create transformational change for individuals and teams. She is interested in deconstructing how you become a high performing leader and a high performing team, and what does that look like? She sees many leaders and executives in business who end up making compromises in their lives to achieve high performance at work, only to find that the trade-offs have been too great and are now impacting their ability to lead. Lucy believes leadership comes from integrating who you are as a human being with the different roles you play in life, integrating all of you and expressing it to the world. This is the source of high performance. After doing a psychology degree, she worked as a management consultant for seven years and thrived supporting large corporations to shift their results through strategy, leadership and culture transformations. Having worked in a high paced and high performing environment herself, she understands what it takes to juggle the various roles from family to business. As a result, she has dedicated the last decade to support leaders and business owners grow and achieve results. If you're a leader who is striving to excel in life and either feel you are not there yet or don’t feel confident you are at your best, it makes sense for you to have a conversation with Lucy so you can start shaping your own definition of high performance and lead your life and your team with effectiveness and joy. So you can have THE big career and THE big life.
