High Performance Coaching for Ambitious Leaders Who Want To Make An Impact.
Leadership creates culture and shapes success. Most leadership development misses the mark.
We offer high impact leadership development that delivers measurable results because for us, impact is what matters.
Having worked with hundreds of leaders, we know what exceptional leadership looks like, and how to develop it.
We combine real world business and leadership experience with expert coaching backed by science, to deliver leadership development that works.
If you are ready to lead exceptionally, achieve new levels of success, and make a difference that matters, we can help.
Lead with Purpose, Perform with Impact.
We help ambitious leaders lead exceptionally, realise their full potential and unlock the power of the people they lead, because people are your greatest advantage.
At the heart of every exceptional business are leaders who know how to lead with focus, humility, authenticity, and confidence.

Because leadership isn’t just a role, it’s a catalyst.

Meet Our Founder: Jess Wiggins.
Impact Coaching International is founded by Jess Wiggins, an ICF accredited Coach and former lawyer.
As a lawyer and Deputy Head of a successful law firm, Jess was driven by a desire to make a positive difference in the world, but burnout and a lack of fulfilment in the legal sector led Jess to take a significant change in direction.
Jess made the decision to leave her successful legal career and retrain as a Business and Leadership Coach, combining her strategic mindset with her passion for people.
She went on to found Impact Coaching International, where she now partners with leaders around the world to help them lead exceptionally and create lasting impact.
Why People First Leadership Wins.
People are at the heart of every business, so it makes sense that they should come first.
When leaders prioritise their people by investing in their growth, supporting their well-being, and creating a culture of trust and respect, they unlock higher engagement, creativity, and loyalty.
A people first approach doesn’t just boost morale; it drives measurable business success.
When employees feel valued and empowered, they go the extra mile, work together more effectively, and deliver better outcomes for both clients and the organisation.
When you take care of your people, your people will take care of the business, and don’t just take our word for it.
Organisations with highly engaged workforces are 23% more profitable, have 70% higher levels of wellbeing and 78% less absenteeism (Gallup State of the Global Workplace Report 2025, State of the Global Workplace Report - Gallup).
Companies with the strongest ethical cultures outperform their peers by approximately 50% across all measures of business performance (LRN Benchmark of Ethical Culture Report, 2024).
When organisations build their growth strategy around great management, the result is better customer service and higher productivity, sales and profits (Gallup Q12 Meta-Analysis, Gallup 2024 Q12 Meta-Analysis).
At least 4 in 10 executives say they “always” or “often” feel exhausted or stressed. So much so that 66% of managers and 71% of the C-suite say that they’d seriously consider moving to another organisation that would support their wellbeing (Deloitte Wellbeing at Work Research 2024, Leading workplace well-being | Deloitte Insights).
