Helping conscious leaders solve workplace challenges
A higher experience
You know how it feels when your workplace is in flow – everything works, goes to plan, and seems to take little effort. Then, you get thrown a curveball and you must bring your best game.
Staying on track may be as simple as a quick sense check or require a deeper dive.
Whatever you’re navigating – change, chaos, inertia, unease – we’ll enhance your awareness and work with you to create a shift so you can deliver .
The way we work
Our finely honed approach integrates workplace expertise and a deep intuitive understanding of energy. It’s why we are different and how we manoeuvre quickly with efficiency, kindness and care.
Workplace Expertise: Decoding the inner workings.
We know a lot about how workplaces work having experienced so many of them first-hand in their full glory in executive, consulting and project roles. We’ve covered all angles including:
Start-ups, scaleups, acquisitions and integrations
Greenfields, tenders and joint ventures
Turnarounds, transformations and transmissions
Restructures, downsizing, rightsizing and closures.
We’ve worked for some of Australia’s largest brands, global companies, emerging SMEs and everything in between.
Drawing upon our knowledge we make fast connections, decoding the web that is the inner workings of workplaces - behaviours, team dynamics and leadership - and crafting simple solutions.
You’ll find by working with we you’ll be able to see clearly and move your workplace into flow faster and more efficiently.
Workplace Energy: Penetrating insights that get to the core.
The reality of workplaces is embodied in their energy. Sometimes you can’t make sense of it or tune in. We do that for you.
And a whole lot more.
As an intuitive we’ll tap into the energy and use it to navigate and get to the core.
Our insights pinpoint what’s going on beneath the surface often long before others are remotely aware, don’t see or simply won’t say. We’ll also alert you to what’s coming at you that may not have hit your radar yet to help mitigate risk.
Forewarned is forearmed.
We and Me
Hi, I’m Jennifer Straughan a workplace consultant + intuitive.
Welcome to Workplace Energies which I created as a platform to share my intuitive gift and workplace knowledge with like-minded leaders.
My workplace practice draws upon 30+ years of experience having worked in executive, consulting and contracting roles across a wide range of industries and strategies.
When it comes to workplaces, I’ve seen and experienced more than I’d ever imagined possible, working predominately in the people, culture and change space on corporate, regional and remote sites around Australia.
Being an intuitive
For as long as I can remember I’ve been able to ‘see.’ How I experience the workplace is different from most. I’m highly sensitive to the energy, feelings and emotions of others. To me they are amplified. Integrating this intuitive ability into my workplace practice, however, has been a long journey but I’ve stayed true to my vision.
I’ve always been intrigued by the energy in a workplace and what that tells me.
As a consultant, I love to analyse and make fast connections; as an intuitive, I sense (‘see, hear, know’). I knew I was never going to be able to learn to integrate all of my skills by staying in the one workplace. So, in 2000, having completed my MBA and with ten years experience under my belt, I made it my business - Instinctive Business. I worked on a consulting, contract and project basis purposefully building a diverse portfolio.
I walked a long path for the following 20+ years shaping workplaces across Australia, guided to many undergoing change or in chaos and states of flux. In the early days I taught meditation to female executives and I gave private readings as well. Along the way, I developed my knowledge and skills across all the people levers that can be pulled to enable a fast shift. Specifically, I honed my ability to work with energy in challenging environments.
After a while I found my own way of working and Instinctive Business “i” began to morph into Workplace Energies “we”, offering more specialised workplace services for what was a very clear need. And I became open about being an intuitive, when previously to do so would have been career kamikaze.
Having worked out of Sydney for years, I am now based back home in Tasmania on the banks of the beautiful kanamaluka/River Tamar where the sea and the river meet against a mountain backdrop.
My qualifications include a Bachelor of Commerce and an MBA.
I’m into meditation, yoga, Pilates, snow skiing, the beach, bushwalking, music, travelling and film. I also care for a miniature schnauzer called Mr Pippin.
