Providing support and assistance around areas of improvement and uncovering strengths you didn’t even know you had. I had the wonderful opportunity to work closely with Jessica and her team some time ago and experienced her passion for people and their success first hand.

Jess’ enthusiasm and commitment to her clients is unmatched! She doesn’t take a ‘one size fits all approach’, and instead everything is tailored to the individual. Would definitely recommend Jess to organisations both large and small.

Jessica is delightful! She has a huge portfolio, which she expertly tailors to suit her client, and she has the ability to “keep it real” with her audience.

Thanks so much Jess for always guiding me in the right direction!

I have now attended two training sessions facilitated by the Symes Group and have twice between blown away by their insight, professionalism and ability to capture an audience. Jessica’s style is refreshingly honest, compassionate and pragmatic. I would recommend the Symes Group to any organisation looking to upskill their staff or any individual looking for genuine professional development. Jessica stands out in my memory as one of the most effective presenters I have come across in a professional, academic or informal setting.


I have worked with Jessica over the last 18 months and she is an excellent coach. She always provides relevant insight and advice to assist with personal and professional situations and works with teams to build engagement.

After my first one-on-one coaching session with Jess, I knew it was a worthwhile investment in my career. Jess’ deeply perceptive skills allows her to develop a tailored, strengths-based approach to coaching that is ready to implement. Her knowledge and smarts are self-evident, but for me, it is her personal style in delivering a resounding message and custom-fit strategy that has works for me.

During the 4 month program Jessica facilitated many fantastic one-one-one coaching sessions that drew on her wealth of knowledge and experience in the area of coaching.

My one-on-one coaching sessions with Jessica have been a priceless experience, and a turning point in my career. Jessica has unmatched skills in ‘reading’ people and unveiling areas for improvement, which led me to discover so much about myself. Jessica challenged me in many ways, with a level of care and passion that was comforting at the same time. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone who wants to take their career to the next level.
