As a young business owner navigating the challenges of running and growing a company alongside my business partner, I was initially hesitant to reach out and ask for help as the business expanded.  Fortunately, a colleague introduced me to Jade, and within a few sessions I felt completely at ease sharing my concerns and getting the support I knew I needed.

Jade’s coaching has had a meaningful impact across many aspects of our business.  She has helped strengthen our leadership, improve communication across the team, and navigate some of the more difficult conversations that inevitably arise when running and growing a business.

Over time we have seen tangible improvements in how our team works together, with better clarity around roles, stronger leadership from both the owners and our management team, and improved efficiencies across the business.  This has also supported our financial growth and allowed us to step back from some of the day-to-day operational pressures as the team has developed.

What I value most is Jade’s ability to provide honest, practical guidance.  I know I can bring any question to her, whether it is a simple one or difficult leadership challenge and she will always give thoughtful advice and, when needed, the honest truth.

It’s been fantastic to see the shift in my own thinking and development as a leader, as well as the positive impact on our team.  We look forward to continuing to work with Jade as our business grows and evolves.

Working with Jade over the past three years has been transformative. When we started, I was heavily involved in the day-to-day operations of our business. Through Jade’s coaching, I learned to step into a more visionary leadership role; developing strategic direction, improving team productivity, and building a stronger culture across our 100+ person team. She helped me navigate complex HR challenges, have difficult conversations with confidence, and lead with clarity under pressure. Jade’s support has been instrumental in both my personal growth and the performance of the business.

Working with Jade has been an incredibly valuable experience. From the outset, she quickly grasped the dynamics of our London office and brought a thoughtful, practical approach to coaching.

Through a series of tailored sessions, she guided us to strengthen communication, sharpen decision-making, and enhance overall performance. Her style created an environment where the team felt supported, challenged, and motivated to grow.

Today, our London office is more engaged, confident in their roles, and united in their focus on the future. The shift in morale, clarity, and alignment has been remarkable. Jade’s insight, professionalism, and genuine care have truly elevated our team, leaving us in a much stronger position moving forward.

Before working with Jade, I felt like my business finances were always playing catch-up.  I had great revenue but no clear visibility or strategy around profit, tax, or cash flow.  Through Jade’s mentoring, I shifted my mindset around money and structure and have doubled the amount of cash coming into my business.  I now take more control of my numbers and feed them into the wider business strategy of my business.  I also have new systems in place, I’m able to pay myself more, and maintain a healthy savings buffer.  A lot of the guesswork has been taken out of the business and I have more peace of mind.

Working with Jade has been life-changing. She has a rare gift for breaking down complex ideas into clear, practical strategies that stick. Her insights around behaviour, mindset, and habits are both thought-provoking and easy to apply, helping me see the bigger picture and make real, lasting changes.

What stands out most is how Jade’s coaching flows beyond the professional realm into everyday life. The tools and techniques I’ve learned with her have improved not only my work but also my relationships, confidence, and overall outlook. Jade’s friendly, light-hearted approach makes even the heaviest topics feel empowering and the growth I’ve experienced will stay with me for years to come.

As a business owner, half of the challenge is defining the problem with clarity. Jade has the ability to ask the right questions to get to the heart of the matter FAST! Issues that had plagued my business for months (and kept me awake at night) were elegantly unpacked and thrust into the cold light of day.

From there, I mostly knew what to do to solve them (though we explored the best options and found something I’d never thought of before) and the energy and momentum came flooding back and I feel like I can take charge and lead my business again.

Jade is a phenomenal coach and one I recommend without hesitation.

My decision to bring Jade into my journey as a business coach was driven by my aspiration to enhance earnings through sales growth.  I recognized the need for a fresh perspective, especially in how I approached the numbers and my mindset.

Jade guided me to explore the key aspects of business growth in great depth, spanning topics such as business strategy, marketing, time management, sales techniques and goal setting.  She also helped with the delicate interplay between business objectives and personal values, to aid the fostering of a fulfilling and contented life.

My business’s sales have shown a remarkable 60% increase.  This is a dream come true, and I owe it to Jade’s expertise and guidance.  It’s not merely the numerical achievement but the quiet satisfaction it has brought into my life, creating harmony between my business aspirations and personal well-being.

Jade’s support has been a guiding light in my business journey, and I’m continuing to experience growth and success in my business, which is deeply satisfying.

Jade is a world-class business coach! After every single session with Jade, I walk away with greater clarity of purpose, direction and a solid strategy. She brings her wealth of knowledge, wide range of experiences and emotional intelligence as a compassionate, intuitive business coach. Jade always knows to ask all the right questions, prompting me to broaden my perspectives and realise ‘what I don’t know I don’t know’. I highly recommend Suited to Business! You won’t be disappointed.

Running a small business will always have ups and downs, and you will make good and bad decisions. One of the decisions I got right was getting started with Jade from Suited to Business.

After nearly 8 months working with Jade the business has been turned around. We have good healthy profits.

Not only have the figures improved, my clarity for my direction has also grown stronger. I now have a clear vision for the next 12 months and beyond.

I now have more tools, less stress and the confidence in myself to achieve all the goals set at the beginning of this coaching journey.

I can’t recommend Jade enough.

I was at a point in my business where I was ready to grow and improve but I didn’t know how or where to start.

Jade has helped put LocknBolt on the path to incredible success, even throughout the global pandemic. Not only did Jade work with me as Managing Director, also my wife, Taylor.

As a 24-hour emergency mobile locksmith, the job can be mentally as well as physically draining. When I was pushing myself too hard, Jade would help bring my attention to that and remind me to slow down; the better we take of ourselves, the better we can take care of our business.

I would highly recommend Jade to any business, big or small, looking for assistance in growth, guidance in direction, and help in refocusing their goals and energy.

Without Jade, LocknBolt would be falling behind in the Brisbane locksmith race but we are as successful and profitable as ever with a happy Managing Director and smooth business operations.

I have worked with Jade for the past two years, and her coaching has made a significant difference to both my leadership approach and the way I lead within the business.

As a General Manager of a growing retail business, I manage the constant demands of leading a large team, balancing competing priorities and supporting the business through periods of growth. Jade has helped me step back from being caught up in the day-to-day and become a more strategic and confident leader.

Through our work together, I have developed practical strategies for managing difficult conversations, improving accountability, setting clearer expectations and addressing performance issues earlier. Jade has also supported me in strengthening team structures, making better people decisions and building a more capable and accountable team.

One of the biggest outcomes has been gaining confidence in my leadership and creating stronger boundaries around my role. I have been able to focus more on leading the business, developing my team, and contributing at a higher level, while still maintaining a healthier balance.

Jade combines practical leadership guidance with a strong understanding of people and business. I would recommend her to any leader looking to strengthen their capability, improve team performance, and create a more sustainable way of working.

Working with Jade has been both eye opening and inspiring. Having a personal advocate to talk straight, back your corner, and provide workable solutions is something everyone should try. I have enjoyed working with Jade and seeing tangible changes in my personal and professional life. I recommend Jade to anyone who is serious about investing in themselves and seeing a positive outcome.

I was at that point in my business where I was exhausted, working 60+ hours a week. I hadn’t had a holiday in 17 years. I was wondering if it was all worth it and I was searching for clarity for my direction.

The Suited to Business leadership program has evolved my leadership immensely. I’ve bought a new truck and taken on two new employees. My team is now at the stage where I can leave them and go on my first holiday in 17 years – to my dream destination Las Vegas. I have a more confidence in my own self-worth and ability to get things finished, I use the Nike saying all the time now JUST DO IT and things will happen.

I signed up for one of Jade’s one to one Leadership Mentoring Programs as I wanted to improve my communication skills at work.  Jade used a variety of tools including Extended DISC.  As a result of the mentoring my verbal and written communication skills have improved immensely. This has helped me to be much more efficient at work and also resulted in improved relationships with my team that I manage.  I highly recommend Jade’s services.

Thank you Jade for equipping me with the tools to change my life!

During COVID, isolated working-from-home, I knew the only thing I could control was how I reacted, and that what I did next mattered.

Through the coaching we identified how I worked best, how to manage up more effectively and what it was that I needed in my next role to feel like a valued and productive team member, contributing to business outcomes.  Jade helped me to re-build my confidence and get back on track.

Jade continually checked in, reviewed my applications and debriefed my interviews.  I could not have come so far in such a short space of time without her.

I am happy to report I now have a new role in a large organisation that I wanted to work with, sharing my knowledge and confidently delivering business outcomes. I am back on track to smash my career goals, and I couldn’t have done it without Jade.

Working with Jade Varley has been an absolute game-changer for my business. She helped me get back on track, focus on what truly matters, and implement procedures that drastically improved my productivity. Thanks to Jade’s guidance, I’ve not only increased my profitability but also rediscovered the joy in running my business.

Jade’s ability to break tasks down into manageable steps was invaluable in reducing overwhelm and keeping me moving forward. Having her as a second set of eyes on my business ensured that nothing important was overlooked. Her support, insights, and encouragement allowed me to achieve a better work-life balance while maximizing my business’s potential.

I am incredibly grateful for everything Jade has done for me and my business and would highly recommend her to any business owner looking to improve profitability, streamline operations, and truly enjoy their entrepreneurial journey!

Jade’s support has been transformational for Pistol Creative. When we started working with her, we were looking to expand but didn’t know the best way to go about it. Jade showed us how. Her careful guidance and understanding of business processes have helped us believe in ourselves and what we can offer clients. As a result, our business has gone from strength to strength, and we are well positioned to take Pistol Creative to the next level. We would highly recommend Jade’s services.

Jade is passionate about her clients and the outcome for their personal development. She always goes the extra mile to think about how she can support you and provide you with tools / knowledge / ideas that can enhance your current thinking and situation.  If you are looking for someone to help you find your direction and motivation Jade is definitely a person you should meet.

Jade worked one to one with my Agency Manager.  The outcomes were beyond expectations.  For the business a re-energised, refocused key person who has implemented new tools into the business that have made a real difference.

For the staff member a new sense of purpose and drive, learning new things and developing the confidence and capacity to drive change.

As a Veterinary Surgeon and young entrepreneur, I desired a more balanced life, and to achieve many life goals. Jade was recommended to me by a colleague, and through her program, I have experienced remarkably rapid and spectacular personal growth; much greater than I could’ve ever imagined!
These ground-breaking sessions with Jade have instilled a new confidence in my professional capabilities, helped me to develop and maintain an assertive and self-respecting demeanour, given me the essential tools for time management in a stressful fast-paced profession, and helped to steer me away from seemingly inevitable professional burn-out.
Jade went above and beyond her coaching role and expressed a genuine concern and interest in my life, contacting me many times between sessions to offer encouragement on stressful days, and to share helpful information or touching personal stories.
For all these reasons, I believe she has a natural capability as a Coach, a genuine communication style that had us both laughing through tough sessions, and an intuitive understanding of not just what her clients want, but what they truly need to succeed in all aspects of their life I highly recommend Jade for anyone who desires personal growth and/or life balance’

I had been struggling with my position as I had lost confidence in my ability to manage my team when I was introduced to Jade.  Under her guidance through the E-disc system she has opened my eyes to endless possibilities.
One on one leadership training with Jade has taught me not only to be a more productive and proactive manager, but inspired me to be better person – who now has her mojo back!!
Her passion, dedication and support at every twist and turn along the way gave me the enthusiasm and drive to rise to each and every challenge. If you have lost your direction at work or in life then Jade is the one person that can help you see your potential.

Thank you for making such a difference in my life. I was so glad I trusted my instincts and decided to use you. Your ability to guide me through to uncover a better understanding of myself has been life changing. Your approach was both professional and personable, making me feel better and better as we progressed. I love your passion about what you do, about how much you care. It was a truly positive experience and one that I feel will help me for years to come. I want to thank you for everything that you’ve done for me.
