Coaching with Steve

A Partnership for Growth, Insight & Purposeful Change

Steve Barrett

Leadership, Organisation, and Retirement Coach

A Coach Who’s Walked the Path of Change

With over 15 years of experience coaching and leading transformative change across prominent WA organisations, I bring a grounded and strategic approach to every coaching partnership.

My own leadership journey and life transitions, including relocating from the Perth to Busselton and redefining work-life balance, have deepened my understanding of what it takes to navigate uncertainty with clarity, purpose, and courage.

Whether you’re:

✅ A leader navigating complex change

✅ Part of a leadership team seeking greater cohesion

✅ A decision-maker looking to evolve culture from within

Coaching offers a confidential space to reflect, realign, and grow, both personally and professionally.

Not a Fix — A Partnership for Inside-Out Growth

Coaching isn’t about fixing or changing who you are.

It’s about uncovering the clarity, capacity, and leadership already within you.

Through our work together, we will:

🔹 Explore your context with openness and curiosity.

🔹 Surface fresh insights that shift long-held patterns and perspectives.

🔹 Tap into the inner resources you already hold to lead with confidence, connection, and impact.

Approach & Experience

I’ve had the privilege of coaching leaders and teams across:

WA Police, Fortescue, Synergy, Pfizer, RAC, and Curtin University.

These partnerships have supported leaders to:

👉 Lead with presence through complexity.

👉 Navigate organisational transformation.

👉 Strengthen alignment and trust.

As an ICF-accredited coach (PCC), trained in systemic, developmental, and relational approaches, I tailor each engagement to meet you where you are.

Whether you’re deepening your leadership, evolving team dynamics, or leading change across an organisation, our partnership will centre on real conversations and purposeful growth.

Through his patient, proactive, and supportive approach, along with the practical techniques he shared, I’ve experienced a genuine and sustainable shift in both myself and my relationships. I’d strongly recommend working with Steve.”

💬 “The tools Steve gave me in our sessions instilled a sense of clarity and confidence to move forward in my career. The professional environment Steve provided was completely non-judgmental and his natural empathy made me feel comfortable to challenge my negative mindset. Thanks for your help Steve!”

— Zoe

💬 “Just finished writing up my notes and actions from the coaching session with Steve. Man, he is good. I know I play in it as well, but he helped me discover a core blocker that has been with me for many years… like a frikken shrink! It’s amazing how I had a topic planned with a stretch goal/super long-term vision as a backup, and we went straight for the jugular of the stretch goal. It has shaken and inspired me!”

— Dale

💬 “You have been such an amazing coach and mentor to me, your guidance and support have made a significant difference in my life, both on and off the field.”
