Jo Debrincat is one of the coaches that we found this month and we did a little interview with her. She impressed us with her professionalism and innovativeness.

Her journey is full of experience and learning. Beginning as a social worker, she swiftly ascended to leadership positions, accumulating over two decades of invaluable experience. Fueled by a passion for lifelong learning, she immersed herself in studies ranging from grief and loss counseling to leadership and management, theology and ministry, hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, and, most recently, life coaching.

Her coaching path is a culmination of these varied experiences, converging into a soulful mission: empowering individuals to become the best versions of themselves. Innovative and impactful, her coaching approach extends beyond technical skills to delve into the core of leadership development.

For over 20 years, she has navigated leadership roles, and now, with a focus on women in leadership and mindset coaching, she has crafted the “4 Codes to Success.” These codes are guiding women to unleash their unique gifts and lead from their core essence. Here is what she said.

Meet Life Coach Jo Debrincat:

Name: Jo Debrincat

Pillar: The Spirit, The Mind

Who is this coach for: Women who want to become better leaders.

How they can help: Through various coaching tools and techniques like the Time Line Therapy and Parts Integration from NLP, assessments like the Clifton Strengths leadership assessment, and the 4 Codes to Success that she developed.

First of all, how are you and your family doing after these Pandemic times?

Everyone is well.

The pandemic had a significant impact in Australia and in particular the state that l live in, Victoria.

We were in lock down for a significant length of time which impacted greatly on people’s mental health and well being.

I think it brought a whole new level of realisation about the importance of human connection.

How did the coronavirus pandemic affect your clients? Did it affect you at all?

Melbourne was heavily affected by the pandemic, in total we experienced 262 days in lockdown, we experienced greater periods of lock down than any other city in the world.

It’s had a huge toll on people’s mental health and well being, I suspect the impact will affect future generations to come.

Don’t we all talk about life being too short?

l really believe the pandemic woke many people up into really seeing that we have limited time here, we need to create the opportunities for ourselves and seize this very moment if we want to live a truly fulfilled life and create a meaningful career.

During the pandemic I spent a lot of time in nature and spent time reflecting on my soul purpose.

I decided it was time to stop working in corporate and harness my creativity in my own business where l could really have a positive impact on people’s lives.

What are the biggest lessons that you learned in this pandemic?

There will always be outside forces that will have the opportunity to impact us however we need to take responsibility for our experiences.

Connection to our fellow humans and to nature is so vitally important to a fulfilled life and to the development of our soul.

The Origin:

Tell us about you, your career, how you started with your coaching career?

I started my career as a social worker and quickly moved into leadership roles.

I am a lifelong learner so l am always studying something different for my own personal growth and to increase my knowledge.

I studied grief and loss counselling, professional training, leadership and management, theology and ministry, hypnotherapy and psychotherapy.

Most recently, I have studied life coaching.

I have been in leadership roles for over 20 years now.

I have always been very interested in personal development and spiritual growth, everything has really led me to the here and now: creating my coaching business.

This path of service through the means of coaching is my soul’s mission, lm here to support people to be the best possible version of themselves.

What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in your life that made you who you are today?

Learning to be in flow and to trust that by living through inspiration it will open doors to new opportunities.

It takes a great deal of trust when you lean in and really believe that something much greater is in control and that the universe truly does have your back.

I’m also so much more aware these days about how powerful we are and how fortunate we are to be having this earthly experience here and now.

The Coaching Style:

How do you innovate with coaching your clients?

I am working with women in leadership and mindset coaching.

l have developed 4 Codes to Success for women in leadership or business, it’s all about developing from the inside out.

Of course, people need technical skills in leadership roles too however, if you don’t do the work on yourself and work out who and what you are as a leader then it’s always going to be a challenge to lead others effectively.

My clients become clear on their unique values so that they feel capable to show up powerfully and authentically.

They also build self awareness and self belief.

What’s unique about your coaching approach?

My 4 Codes to Success are pivotal in order for women to come into their personal power as a leadership.

I work with clients from the inside out supporting women to tap into their own personal and unique gifts.

The 4 Codes to Success are Self Discovery, Trust and Connection, Authentic Leadership and Personal Mastery.

Leaders can have a profound impact on the people that they lead.

I help people ensure that it’s an inspirational impact and one that changes the trajectory of people’s careers and lives for the better.

The codes are about raising the conscious awareness of female leadership.

My program is structured yet tailored to everyone’s unique and individual needs.

I provide a safe space for women to become empowered, build confidence, resilience and accountability.

What benefits do your clients get after working with you?

My clients gain an enormous amount of clarity and confidence in themselves as individuals and as leaders.

Women learn to trust their instincts and become fearless by fine tuning their emotional intelligence, this allows them to lead authentically and with integrity.

I often use Neurolinguistic techniques (NLP) such as Time Line Therapy and Parts Integration, my clients experience profound healing bringing new insights and release limiting beliefs.

The techniques also improve self awareness, self acceptance and self confidence allowing people to recognise their amazing strengths and recourses.

Do you use any specific tools to be efficient with your clients?

I use Clifton Strengths leadership assessment, it provides people great insight into the major strengths that each individual embodies as a leader.

The assessment provides the top 10 leadership themes in your talent profile.

Leaders who have the awareness and knowledge of where their strengths lie have greater outcomes.

I also really like going through a values process with clients, it’s amazing how many people are not clear on what their key values are and what it’s important to them.

Clarity is one of the keys to success.

I teach people how to lead authentically, to lead in their fullest expression of themselves, so that it will benefit everyone around them.

When we lead from our core being we are leading from our authentic true self.

The Impact:

If you had a super megaphone that, when you speak into, the whole world will hear your message, what would you say?

We can all live and lead from our authentic selves in order to be the fullest expression of ourselves for the benefit of everyone, and most importantly for ourselves.

We have a moment by moment choice to lead in the most powerful way from the core of our being, from the infinite intelligence that lies within us all.

I love supporting women in how they can walk in their true power.

What is the greatest lesson you have learned in your life?

I’ve learnt that we must take constant action particularly when it scares the bejesus out of us if we want to really take steps to achieve our goals and dreams.

I make it a habit of always reminding myself of Joseph Campbells quote whenever l feel afraid to take the next step,

“The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek”.

It’s so very true, the treasure is always there, we just need to be brave enough to take the action and believe in ourselves.

I’ve also become very clear on my “Why”, and l feel so inspired to serve women in Transformational leadership coaching and to raise the consciousness of female leaders.

Your final thoughts?

When we learn to be confident, compassionate, and conscious then we can all contribute to raising the consciousness of women in leadership.

We all have a unique magnificence, something special inside of ourselves just waiting to be expressed.
