Excel in Your Role
Project Leadership Mentoring Program
In 90 days, lead your project with purpose and deliver real results.
Step into your role with clarity and confidence, even when the path aheads feels steep.
Are you a project leader who…
Just joined a new organisation?
Whether you’ve been hired externally or promoted internally, navigating expectations, culture, and power dynamics without a guide can feel overwhelming.
Was promoted without relevant training?
High performance in your last role doesn’t always prepare you for impactful leadership. Now you’re expected to lead complex change without the tools or support to do it confidently.
Feels unsure about your role?
You’ve been asked to lead, but the role isn’t clearly defined. How do you engage without micromanaging or disappearing altogether?
Can’t tell what’s noise and what’s real?
Conflicting reports, stakeholder opinions, and hidden agendas make it hard to focus on what needs your attention.
Feels pressure to deliver but not sure how?
You know you’re accountable for results, but the path forward is unclear, and the risks are high.
Struggles to hold others accountable?
You want to lead with integrity, but without follow-through from others, leadership can feel lonely and frustrating.
Worries about reputational risk?
When a project goes off track, it’s not just the timeline at risk. Your credibility, team morale, and strategic momentum are on the line too.
Even the most capable leaders can feel unsure, overwhelmed, or invisible when navigating complex projects.
Holding a title like executive sponsor, transformation owner, or senior delivery lead comes with implied authority but not always the clarity or support to match. That weight of expectation can feel heavy when the tools, structure, or confidence to lead with impact aren’t fully in place.
The Cost of Staying Stuck
70%
of projects fail due to poor sponsorship
9.9%
of every dollar is wasted due to delivery inefficiencies
The emotional toll of unclear leadership can erode confidence, credibility, and team performance
If you are feeling stretched, unclear, or alone; this is your invitation to step into a supported space where you can think, reset, and lead with intention.
This is your chance to:
Regain control of your role
Build clarity around your influence
Navigate the messy middle with confidence
And ultimately, lead with impact
This mentoring program is for you if:
You’ve been promoted or newly appointed and want to lead with intention
You’re in the thick of delivery and need space to reset and refocus
You’re ready to lead with influence, not just responsibility
You don’t want to be the scapegoat for a failing project
This is not for you if:
You’re content with surface-level project updates and status quo thinking
You’re not ready to be challenged or take accountability for your leadership impact
The Journey from hesitate to excel
Transformation doesn’t begin with systems — it begins with project leaders who choose to show up differently.
Level 1 – Hesitate: You’re hesitant to engage, uncertain about your role or how to contribute effectively.
Level 2 – Visible: You’re in the room and contributing but still looking to others for direction or validation.
Level 3 – Drive: You’ve stepped into leadership and are taking responsibility for decisions and direction.
Level 4 – Influence: You’re expanding your influence and enabling others to succeed without needing to control every detail.
Level 5 – Excel: You lead with presence, conviction, and purpose – others rise because of how you lead.
Step up. Stay Accountable. Lead with Impact.
Project leadership isn’t about doing more, it’s about showing up in the right way, at the right time, to make the difference only you can.
This program uses a three-part mentoring framework to strengthen your leadership performance in complex project environments:
Assess
Step back and evaluate what’s really going on, beyond surface updates, assumptions, or noise.
Align
Connect strategy, people, and delivery to bring clarity to your role and focus to your leadership.
Act
Follow through, make decisions, and show up as the project leader your team and stakeholders need.
Here’s what you gain:
Assess + Align = Clarity
Know what matters and where to focus your energy.
Align + Act = Commitment
Build trust and follow-through by doing what you say you’ll do.
Act + Assess = Confidence
Learn from action, adapt fast, and lead with intention.
At the centre of it all is Excel, not just delivering a project, but leading with purpose, trust, and consistent performance that sets you apart.
Project leaders accountable for complex projects require different levels of support based on their experience, confidence, and the challenges they face.
The Excel in Your Role – project leadership mentoring program provides tailored support through three options. Choose the option that fits your stage, pace and ambition.

Testimonials
Thank you for everything you have done for the Public Services Transformation. You have made such a significant difference and had such a positive impact on the team.
~ Kellie, General Manager, Commonwealth Government
Jeanette is passionate, exceptionally organised and knows her stuff. Her assertion is exactly what you need when it comes to successful project management. The way that she adds to and assists others in achieving great things is with an amazing amount of knowledge between both practical application and a real understanding of the technical theories that sit behind them.
~Nikki, Program Director, Queensland Government
Very, very useful for me who has newly jumped into an Acting Team Leader role. My favourite was The Three Pillars of Project Leadership. I loved the pyramid, so simple but so good!
~ Arieta, Team Leader, Business Engagement
I thoroughly enjoyed reading your book – Real Project Leadership. It’s full of wisdom that can significantly help those who feel stuck in their projects or leadership roles. Looking forward to the next one.
~ Sandra, General Manager, Business Operations
Even as a businesswoman myself who also helps others succeed I needed a professional buddy in my corner who is passionate about my success.
Our monthly sessions are a wonderful opportunity to for me to reflect and celebrate achievements in that month. Without this recognition, we can feel like we may be stalling in our success whereas the absolute reverse is true.
JC helps me to articulate my milestones, and she gives me the safe space to soundboard ideas and thoughts whilst gently challenging.
I know that I would not be where I am today without JC’s program and her generous support.
~ Paula, CEO, PK Advisory Services
