Jade Deutrom

Years of Facilitation Experience: 16 years

From early in her career, Jade has been drawn to the intersection of people, systems and experience - bringing a thoughtful, grounded presence to complex leadership and organisational work. With over 15 years’ experience across leadership development, facilitation and program design, Jade is known for her ability to hold sophisticated corporate environments with clarity, warmth and credibility.

Jade holds a Graduate Diploma in Organisation Psychology and a Bachelor of Health Sciences, alongside formal qualifications in Life Coaching and Employment Law. This foundation enables her to navigate high-stakes people dynamics with confidence, particularly in areas such as employee obligations, bullying, equity and diversity, and psychologically safe cultures. She brings a rare combination of behavioural science rigour and practical, real-world application. As a lead designer and facilitator, Jade has partnered with organisations including KPMG, BHP, Mazda, Programmed and MONA - designing and delivering leadership experiences that are immersive, commercially relevant and behaviourally grounded. She is particularly adept at translating complexity into experiences that resonate with senior leaders, creating spaces where reflection, accountability and meaningful change can occur.

Jade brings a calm, assured presence and is deeply attuned to group dynamics. She is skilled at reading a room, surfacing what matters, and guiding leaders through challenging conversations with precision and care. Her facilitation style balances depth with accessibility, enabling leaders to engage honestly without defensiveness.

Outside of her professional work, Jade draws inspiration from immersive art, emerging food scenes and the creative edge of culture - influences that subtly shape her approach to experience design. As a mother to a one-year-old, she brings an embodied understanding of adaptability, perspective and sustainability into her leadership work, qualities increasingly essential in today’s organisational landscape.
