  • Kia ora, I’m Judith Jamieson.

    Leaders are navigating constant change, rising expectations, technological disruption and relentless pressure to deliver. Even the most capable leaders can find their thinking crowded, their judgement reactive and their attention pulled in too many directions.

    Leadership rarely breaks down because of a lack of intelligence, experience or strategy. It breaks down when pressure clouds clarity.

    I help leaders and executive teams cut through the noise, think more clearly and turn that clarity into stronger performance.

    This is practical, commercially grounded leadership work. It leads to sharper decisions, stronger alignment, more effective conversations and greater ownership across the organisation.

    Clarity is the starting point. Better leadership and measurable performance are the outcome.

    Aroha,
    Judith

    New Book Coming Soon: The Noise-Cancelling Leader

    My upcoming book, The Noise-Cancelling Leader, distils over two decades of executive coaching into a clear proposition: performance improves when leaders reduce mental interference and lead from clarity. The book blends real-world coaching stories with practical insight to help leaders navigate pressure, complexity, and change with steadiness and confidence.

    Leadership Team Alignment and Performance

    I help executive and senior leadership teams improve alignment, decision-making and collective accountability.

    Through confidential interviews, diagnostics, facilitated offsites and follow-through sessions, we surface what is getting in the way, clarify priorities and decision rights, strengthen cross-functional leadership, and agree how the team will work together.

    The focus is not team bonding. It is clearer thinking, cleaner execution and stronger performance at the top.

    Executive Coaching

    I coach CEOs and senior leaders through the real challenges of leadership.

    Our confidential sessions sharpen decision-making, strengthen leadership presence and help you navigate complexity, pressure, boards, stakeholders and executive teams with greater clarity.

    The focus is practical: clearer thinking, better conversations and stronger impact in the moments that matter.

    Multipliers® Leadership

    As an accredited Multipliers® facilitator and coach, I help leaders shift from unintentionally diminishing others to creating greater ownership, capability and accountability.

    Through practical workshops using real business challenges, leaders learn to recognise habits such as over-directing, rescuing and shutting down contribution—and replace them with better questions, clearer expectations and stronger delegation.

    The result is more capable people, better decisions and less dependence on the leader.

    Executive Coach and Facilitator

    I am a seasoned global senior HR executive with extensive multinational and multi-sector experience, having worked with leading organisations such as Ford and Mars in the UK, World Vision International in Singapore, and most recently providing consultancy to corporates in New Zealand. With deep expertise in Human Resources and General Management, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with diverse people, cultures, and industries. Known for my strategic vision and influence, I thrive in helping senior leadership teams create thriving workplaces in ambiguous and uncertain environments. My unique and insightful approach enables me to partner closely with C-suite executives, senior teams, and people leaders to address the core challenges of people management. With over 20 years of experience as an executive coach, I’ve worked with both large and small organisations around the world. I currently serve on the executive coaching panels for several organisations, supporting coaching for both for-profit and not-for-profit clients. In 2017, I founded Thriveatwork, based in Auckland, New Zealand, where I continue to work with clients locally and globally.

    What leaders and clients say about working with me.

    Pragmatic

    I have known Judith for over 12 years, first as a colleague and later as a consultant/coach. Judith has a wide-ranging skillset. She is rare in having a background in both operations and HR so she understands the real-world issues faced by managers in regards to their own performance and in managing people. Judith is empathetic and takes the time to learn about context and drivers. As a coach Judith develops strong personal relationships and brings a lovely mix of pragmatism and care.

    Lucy Laitinen -CEO, New Zealand

    Leadership

    Judith provided 1 on 1 coaching for me for over a year through World Vision's Senior Leadership Development Program. Judith helped to give me a mirror into myself and the stage I was at in my career development. This provided encouragement and a positive challenge in areas where I could continue to grow. She helped me to dig deeper and explore areas in my own leadership where I could take the next steps in my development. Connecting this with practical and tangible tools, such as Multiplier practices, has really helped me to grow as a manger and a leader. I would highly recommend Judith for executive and leadership coaching.

    Potential

    Judith has played a significant role in the growth and success of many leaders, I am fortunate to be one of them. Bruting is the art of polishing diamonds, and Judith has the skills. The character of polishing diamonds (people) to perfection and in my case was surfacing my strength and working with me to understand and become a better leader. She does it with sincere humility, grace, and dignity. I have had several sessions of coaching and mentoring with Judith, and all the sessions left me with deep thinking about my values and building it up to pursue my personal and professional life. Judith is a people person who genuinely cares, and working with her brings the best out of you. Thank you, Judith, for being a great mentor and coach, and continue to gain from your wisdom, care, and reflection.

    Deepesh Thakur- Global Director, Nepal

    Empathy

    I'm lucky enough to have a mentor and coach with a rare high quality like Judith. After her mentoring, It's lucky to be her peer, and it's a privilege for me not only having a peer but as well mentor and coach, again, something you'll hardly ever have. I love brainstorming with her on organization strategy, business model and operation model, down to discuss about organization development, capability and culture. That is another quality of her, she never hesitate to share her knowledge and supporting others to grow in the team. Judith will be the perfect person you can find if you want to develop your organization and to grow your people.

    Practical

    Judith is a fantastic business coach with a wealth of experience and advice stemming from her years working across both corporate and not-for-profit organisations. Her approach is honest, empathetic and informed, leaving you with practical strategies and work-ons to level up your team management and communication skills. I highly recommend booking with Judith if you want to improve your leadership style, to bring out the best in your work relationships and contribute to a positive and collaborative team culture.

    Kim Smith- GM Strategy, New Zealand

    Wisdom

    When I needed a coach, the first person I considered was Judith. We had worked together on the World Vision Shared Service Programme. At that time I appreciated her business sense and ability to make things happen. She is a generous coach who asks excellent coaching questions. Questions that helps you face up to your reality. She then supports you through the need to change with wisdom, care and sound practical steps. Thank you, Judith. My life is enriched because you are part of it.
