Hi there! I’m Aleisha Coote
If a lawyer, a teacher and a hippie had a love child - that would be me! I’m a strategic thinker mixed with a serial enthusiast for people projects. I’m known for asking challenging questions, encouraging deep reflection, and building leadership experiences that inspire both practical and transformational change.

Am I the right fit for you? As a coach, I’ll listen empathetically and ask courageous, powerful questions to walk alongside you in your thought process. I challenge through curiosity, to stretch your perspective and help you expand the parameters of your current thinking. I’ll honour your space and lived experience while advocating for your potential and championing you to achieve what’s most important to you.

As a facilitator, I’ll ensure an inclusive design and experience for all in the room. I’ll help you explore and bring new concepts to life to help achieve the outcomes you are looking for. I’m known for my ability to safely surface dynamics in the room to create insight and learning opportunities. And I’ll hold a vision for what’s possible, even in the moments you may not be able to see it.

With a background in neuroscience and psychology, I’m at my best working with organisations wanting to make strategic, cultural or capability shifts.

When I'm not coaching, facilitating, or creating new learning resources, you’ll likely find me with a coffee and cheese scone at the local beach. I live with my husband and our three gorgeous children in East Auckland, New Zealand.
