All About US

About Our FOUNDERS

Founders Lynne Stephens and Anna Walker bonded over a mutual observation that the world is tired, stressed and burnt-out. Having experienced the impact themselves, on their families and community, they determined this demanded disruption.

 

Combining Lynne’s knowledge in learning and development and Anna’s experience in human-centred program design, and with an accumulated 12 career changes between them, they built the dream to help the world make, and grow through, change.

 

Now based on the Sunshine Coast and in Byron Bay Australia, they know the impact of living and working on terms they’ve designed. And it’s a joy they’re ready to share.

About Our MENTORS

New Leaf mentors are handpicked by us not only because they’re amongst the most wonderful humans we’ve met, but because they’ve lived career change, learned from the highs and lows and can offer clients the shiniest guiding light and warmest hand to hold. Our mentors take the time to understand our clients’ needs and tailor personalised plans and learning journeys to maximise growth and ease the ride.

 

Unlike coaches, mentors do not provide specialist advice but will support you to plan and execute your journey with support and accountability.
