    Beyond The Autopilot – Part 1 with Engy Neville | Ep. 61

    On this week’s episode of The True North Show I am joined by Engy Neville, and incredible woman who is so aligned to her centre, her inner compass and her true north that her clients have no choice but to shift, heal and uplevel.  Engy shares with us the moment in her corporate career when she realised what her true north was and that it had been with her all along, she just didn’t know how to tune into it and feel it because she was on autopilot.  Our conversation is grounded in deep gratitude for the work she does with her clients and the privilege she feels when someone asks her to walk beside them to do this work.   Bio: Engy Neville is a Conscious Leadership Mentor, Emotional Intelligence Expert, and founder of Embracing Zen with Engy.   After 30 years in corporate marketing, brand strategy, and leadership, Engy now guides individuals who are ready to stop living on autopilot and reconnect with their inner wisdom, emotional clarity, and authentic sense of self.   This work bridges the practical with the intuitive, helping people understand their energetic blueprint, subconscious patterns, presence, and the unseen ways they communicate before they ever say a word.   Her work is especially resonant for high performers, entrepreneurs, and leaders who are moving beyond overperforming, burnout, and self-abandonment into greater clarity, confidence, and purpose-led success.   Engy is a certified Life & Career Coach, NLP Practitioner, ThetaHealing® Instructor, yoga teacher, meditation teacher, and quantum energy healing practitioner.  She brings together lived experience in and out of high-performing environments with deep inner work to help others lead with more presence, make aligned decisions, and create lives that feel as successful on the inside as they look on the outside.   Social Media: Website:         www.embracingzenwithengy.comFacebook:       https://www.facebook.com/EngyNevilleInstagram:       https://www.instagram.com/engy_nevilleLinkedIn:         https://www.linkedin.com/in/engy-nevilleYouTube:        https://www.youtube.com/@TheConsciousPauseWithEngy

    Returning To You with Kelly Allison | Ep. 60

    On this week’s episode of The True North Show I am joined by a very special guest Kelly Allison.  Kelly and I have a beautiful and deep conversation about her journey over the last 18 months and the very deep inner work she has been doing to move through another uplevelling in her personal and professional life.  She shares with us why she believes healing isn’t about fixing yourself and the gifts and wisdom that comes with understanding yourself.  Kelly’s journey is really inspiring and one that many women can relate to, it is a conversation you definitely don’t want to miss. Bio: For over 10 years, I have worked one on one with women, helping them understand the deeper emotional and behavioural patterns held within the body and nervous system. At the heart of my work is a simple belief: healing is not about fixing yourself. It is about understanding yourself. My work brings together mind body principles, intuitive insight and more than a decade of experience understanding the connection between our emotions, our behaviours and the body. I help women understand the ways they have learned to be, the beliefs beneath them and the patterns that may once have served them but no longer feel right. When we understand why we think, feel and behave the way we do, we are no longer simply living through patterns formed long ago. We can consciously decide what we want to keep, what we are ready to release and how we want to move forward. Because awareness gives us something incredibly powerful: choice. This work is not about becoming someone new. It is about returning to who you already are.

    And Then What? with Shannah Kennedy | Ep. 59

    On this week’s episode of The True North Show I am joined by a very special returning guest Shannah Kennedy.  Shannah and I dive deeply into a conversation that I have no doubt hundreds of thousands of people are asking themselves in mid-life – and then what?  Shannah shares with me the moment that it happened to her, how she has embraced it and how it has become the new body of work she is working on with her clients.  Our conversation is filled with wisdom, paused energy and a deep understanding of how to continue to fill your cup, regardless of how old you are. Bio: Shannah Kennedy is a Strategic Life Coach, keynote speaker and eight-time bestselling author who has spent more than two decades helping people step back from the busyness of life and create a clear plan for how they want to live, work and feel.  Her work is built around a simple philosophy: You are the asset, and you need to protect it. Shannah began her career in the fast-paced world of stockbroking in the 1990s, before moving into sports sponsorship, where she managed relationships with more than 150 elite athletes across ten sports.  It was here that she became fascinated by what happens when high-performing people have a clear strategy for their careers, but no personal strategy for their lives. That insight led Shannah to train as a Master Life Coach and ultimately create “The Life Plan”, her internationally bestselling book and methodology for designing a purposeful life. She has since written eight books with Penguin Random House, with her work published internationally and used by individuals, leaders and organisations around the world. Over the past 20-plus years, Shannah has coached more than 1,000 people, including chief executives, senior leaders, entrepreneurs, elite athletes and people navigating significant life and career transitions. Her work combines self-awareness, self-leadership and self-management with practical tools for energy management, wellbeing, personal planning and sustainable high performance. Now in her mid-fifties, Shannah is increasingly exploring one of life's most important questions: “And then what?”  As children leave home, careers evolve, relationships change, parents age and long-held identities begin to shift, Shannah believes the second half of life offers an extraordinary opportunity to consciously decide what comes next. In 2026, she has been putting her own Life Plan into action through a series of intentional career gaps and experiences, including attending the Winter Olympics, walking approximately 800 kilometres across Spain on the Camino de Santiago and swimming with humpback whales in Tonga.  These experiences are informing Shannah's next body of work around midlife, longevity and designing the second half of life with greater clarity, purpose and direction. At the heart of Shannah's work is the belief that we do not need to wait for a crisis to rethink our lives.  We can pause, ask better questions and intentionally design what comes next.

    The Future Still Needs People with Jay Kattel | Ep. 56

    On this week’s episode of The True North Show, I am joined by Jay Kattel and we dive into AI and how it plays a part in human resources, business and leadership.  Jay shares many examples of the work he is doing with clients at the moment and how he is helping them to build AI tools that can help them with simple processes that then frees up the HR experts to work in other areas of the business.  He also reiterates throughout our conversation how important human connection is, how it is always been important and how it will continue to be a vital part of the human race and for business. Bio: Jay Kattel is the Director of LUME Partners, a business transformation consultancy built on one powerful idea: simplifying human resources so that people and organisations can truly thrive. But Jay's story didn't begin in a boardroom, it began across four countries, three languages, and ten schools, a childhood that gave him something no degree ever could: the rare ability to see problems from multiple perspectives and connect with people from all walks of life. With twenty years of experience across private and public sectors, Jay has operated at the highest levels of some of Australia's most recognisable organisations. Today, through his own business LUME Partners, Jay works with organisations navigating some of their most complex challenges from integrating AI into HR models, to organisational design, leadership development, business transformation, and everything in between. At his core, Jay is a problem solver who believes that when you get the people side of business right, everything else follows.  He is passionate, practical, and genuinely committed to helping organisations and the people within them succeed.

    I’m Still Becoming with Jo Brooks | Ep. 55

    On this week’s episode of The True North Show I am joined by Jo Brooks, an incredibly amazing woman who has been through it all in business and still is filled with love and gratitude for everything she has learned on her journey.  Jo shares with me how important mental health and wellbeing is for her, particularly in the last 5 years and how competition doesn’t need to be with spite and elbows.  I knew our conversation would be inspirational and I am filled with so much gratitude for the many “ah-hah” moments I had too!  This is definitely a conversation you will not want to miss. Bio: Jo Brooks has spent nearly 30 years in business and education, and most of that time watching brilliant people fall into the same trap: they're so good at what they do, they end up stuck doing it one client at a time. Her work is about freeing them from that. Through her Gold Coast business, Navig8, Jo helps founders, coaches and subject-matter experts make the leap from one-to-one to one-to-many – taking the expertise locked in their heads and building it into courses, programs and systems that serve far more people without burning the expert out. It's done-with-you, not done-to-you: she gets in beside her clients and builds the thing alongside them. Her work also spans RTO compliance consulting, course and program development, and the quiet, behind-the-scenes systems thinking that holds a business together.  But the method came the hard way.  Jo once built a significant business fast by collaborating with the very people she was meant to compete against, then watched it move through a seven-year liquidation. That long, public undoing could have ended her.  Instead, it became the foundation of everything she teaches.  Out of it came her guiding philosophy, Circle Over Competition, and her signature C.O.L.L.A.B.O.R.A.T.E. framework, the belief that we rise further together than we ever will elbowing each other out of the way. Since then she has founded more than 17 businesses and earned her MBA, but the numbers were never the point.  What people remember about Jo is the way she keeps choosing courage over certainty.  She leads with surgical honesty rather than polish and is the first to admit she hasn't arrived.  As she puts it: "Courage to begin. Discipline to build. Wisdom to let go. Grace to receive."  And, just as readily: "I'm still becoming – and I love the journey." When she's not building something with someone, Jo is most likely walking the beach near home or caring for her elderly mother, the grounding work that keeps her honest about what actually matters.

    You Don’t Have To Do It Alone – Part 1 with Jennifer T. Donner | Ep. 54

    On this week’s episode of The True North Show I am joined by Jennifer T. Donner, a woman who I’ve only met recently but someone I connected with in the first few minutes of chatting.  Jenn shares her journey over the last couple of decades and how particular moments in her life really challenged her and gave her the opportunity to look at things with a different perspective, to do the inner work and to grow on a personal and professional level.  Those moments have led her to be in true alignment, to be working in a more purposeful way and to be living her True North.  This is the first part of Jenn’s journey and she will be sharing more in another episode later in the season.   Bio: Jennifer T. Donner is a mindset and empowerment coach for women who’ve hit that “enough is enough” moment – tired of feeling stuck, behind, or secretly like they’re failing at adulting, even when life looks pretty okay from the outside. Jennifer T. Donner, a mindset and empowerment coach for women who have hit that 'enough is enough' moment, the women who are tired of feeling stuck, behind or secretly feel like they are failing at adulting, even when life looks pretty okay from the outside. She doesn't just understand that feeling she lived it in her twenties.  Jenn had the steady job, the long-term relationship, and the support system, all the things that were supposed to add up to a good life.  But beneath the surface, she felt anxious, stressed, and quietly depressed, constantly wondering 'is this really it?' A pivotal wake-up call became the beginning of a very different path.  For the first time, Jenn stopped trying to figure everything out alone and opened herself to therapy, coaching, and deep inner work.  What followed was a gradual and powerful return to herself built on honesty, self-compassion, and a willingness to question the stories that had been running her life. That journey led Jenn to her true north helping other women find their way back to themselves.  She works with women who are done suffering and ready to trust themselves, reconnect with who they are, and feel genuinely excited about what is next. Her work is rooted in the belief that nobody teaches us how to navigate the mixed bag of emotions that comes with the ups and downs of life – and no one should have to figure it out alone.  Her style is warm, playful, and disarmingly honest, she normalises the hard stuff and creates space for women to feel less alone. When she’s not coaching, you’ll find Jennifer puzzling, rock climbing, kayaking or exploring new creative adventures with her photographer and filmmaker husband, Miguel, while co-parenting their very opinionated cat, Sami.
