We’re addicted to self-improvement | If it’s not fun, it’s not worth doing | Brave, ballsy, and f*cking real
Reboot Mindset Coaching laced up its boots in 2018 and has since earned itself a reputation for being a brave, authentic, and unconventional player in the personal and corporate psychosocial space.
Founder, Leanne Shaw got to work disrupting the norms of traditional training and coaching after resolving her own three-decade struggle with mental health issues due to sexual, emotional, and financial abuse.
Initially, being a business owner wasn’t on her radar, she simply decided it was time to step away from traditional therapy and take personal responsibility for her own rehabilitation, not just for herself, but to serve as an example to the three young daughters she was raising as a sole parent.
The big shift happened, when after careers in journalism, and community services, she undertook studies in Neuro Linguistic Programming, Hypnotherapy and Life Coaching. It was then that she discovered how to dismantle her trauma-based thinking and release more than 30 years of believing she was defective.
After achieving such a profound transformation, and helping a few friends realise their potential, the word spread, enquiries kept coming and it wasn’t long before she realised it was time to quit her job and step into a calling to help others to do the same.
She opened the doors to her business, and with her say-it-like-it-is approach, started helping people to dismantle their own negative self-beliefs and release the inherited stereotypes that kept them stuck in cycles of reactivity, people pleasing, anxiety, negative emotion and believing they’re not enough.
Corporates wanting to develop empowered and resilient employees also started calling, which led to the business designing and delivering authentic training, which was recently described as breath of fresh air and a refreshing change from the standard death-by-PowerPoint approach.
By offering training, individual programs, online courses, EAP support and personal life coaching, Leanne, along with her daughter Samantha who also works in the business, have helped to reboot workplace harmony, improve accountability, move out of being reactive, into being proactive, and to start having empowering conversations with each other, and with themselves.
They help people to break the patterns so they stop breaking themselves.
Leanne Shaw is known for her no-BS, straight-talking approach that cuts through the fluff and gets people to own their sh*t. With a knack for using humour to drive home serious points, she’s a master at transforming mindsets, relationships, and workplace cultures. As a communication specialist, Leanne has an unorthodox way of shaking things up which has made her an in-demand (and entertaining) life coach, leadership consultant, keynote speaker, emcee and corporate trainer.
