Candice Burnett Consulting
Supporting leaders and professionals to lead well and work sustainably
Welcome to Candice Burnett Consulting
I work with leaders and professionals who manage others and operate in demanding roles. My focus is supporting people to lead well, manage complexity and pressure, and build sustainable ways of working that protect wellbeing alongside performance. My work combines leadership and business coaching with a strong wellbeing lens. Sessions focus on the real challenges of leadership, including managing people, communication, change and decision making, while also creating space to reflect on balance, capacity and long term effectiveness at work. This approach recognises that strong leadership and personal wellbeing are closely connected. Being successful at work should not come at the cost of health, values or life outside of work.
How I Work
I offer one to one coaching and consulting delivered online. Engagements are tailored to the individual and typically run over a defined period, allowing time for insight, application and meaningful change. My approach is practical, reflective and grounded in real world leadership experience.
Who This Is For
This work is suited to people who manage others, are navigating increased responsibility or organisational change, and want to remain effective in demanding environments without burning out. It is for those seeking clarity, confidence and sustainable leadership practices.
What Shapes My Work
My work is shaped by extensive experience in leadership and people management. As a school principal and system level coach, I have led teams through change, supported staff wellbeing and worked closely with individuals navigating the demands and complexity of leadership. This experience has given me a strong understanding of the pressures leaders face and the importance of leading in ways that are both effective and sustainable.
Alongside my leadership work in Australia, I have undertaken study and professional learning internationally, including in Japan and the United States. Through these experiences, I connected with leaders and professionals across sectors and cultures and observed common challenges across workplaces. These included managing people, leading change, communication, workplace wellbeing and the risk of burnout. My study focused on mental health in leadership, including work undertaken through Harvard University. This was a turning point that strengthened my desire to support others to feel well and thrive in their work.
Today, I offer leadership and business coaching with a strong wellbeing lens. I work with leaders and professionals who manage others and operate in complex, high responsibility roles, supporting them to lead well, navigate pressure and build sustainable ways of working. My approach is practical, reflective and grounded in real world leadership experience, with a belief that strong leadership and personal wellbeing are closely connected.
Outside of work, I value staying active, reading and travel, all of which continue to shape my perspective on balance, wellbeing and leadership.
