Because in complex, high-pressure systems, great leadership isn’t about doing more — it’s about staying connected.
To purpose. To people. To what really matters.
When leaders are connected — to themselves, each other, and the work — clarity deepens, trust strengthens, and results follow.
Your Best Year Yet helps teams shift from reactive survival mode to a connected leadership rhythm that feels clear, calm and doable.
Even the most values-led teams are fraying under the weight of relentless demand.
It’s not about a lack of care. It’s about a lack of rhythm — and connection.
I’ve lived it.
Leading multimillion-dollar services across two states. Navigating stress, disconnection, and plans that never stuck.
Your Best Year Yet is the system I wish I had - grounded in neuroscience, informed by real-world leadership, and built to last.
Avoidance compounds issues.
Small problems left unaddressed become performance breakdowns, grievances, or costly turnover.
Leaders know this — but fear, discomfort, or lack of skill often stops them from acting.
Conversational capability is a trainable leadership muscle.
With the right framework and practice, tough conversations become growth conversations — clear, purposeful, and confidence-building.
That shift doesn’t just save time and money; it builds trust, strengthens culture, and creates leaders people want to follow.

I’m Justine Maree Cox — a leadership coach who works with CEOs, General Managers and HR leaders to grow confident, connected managers who can truly lead.
Over my career, I’ve led operations teams of up to 450 people, chaired national boards, and partnered with organisations across financial services, health, and community sectors. I know the cost of avoidance, because I’ve lived it. I also know the transformation that comes when leaders learn how to have conversations that matter.
Today, I coach leaders to build cultures anchored in trust, accountability, and human connection. My philosophy is simple: trust and relationships are the real ROI. When leaders create the right environment, people thrive — and performance follows.
With strength and kindness,
Justine Maree Cox
