You built the business. Now let's build the leader and the team it deserves.

You've built something real. But leading it is a different skill to building it. I coach SME founders to lead with confidence — and help them build workplaces where people genuinely want to stay.

    You might be exactly who I work with if...

    • You're a founder or business leader with a team of 10 to 200 people

    • You've grown fast and your culture hasn't kept up

    • Good people are leaving and you're not entirely sure why

    • You feel like you're the only one who genuinely cares

    • Things feel off but you can't put your finger on it

    • You've got no one to talk to about the hard calls — everyone around you is either staff, family, or invested

Jessica Deverill human-centred leadership coach Melbourne

Hi, i’m jessica deverill

I know what it feels like to build something from nothing.

I started Caffeina & Co during COVID with a single coffee cart and grew it into one of Melbourne's most recognised event and catering brands. Over five years I built a team that stayed, a culture people were proud of, and a business that genuinely brought communities together.

Before Caffeina, I spent over a decade in Health and Safety and Human Resources — watching workplaces either lift people up or quietly wear them down. The contrast was stark. And it made me deeply passionate about what intentional leadership and culture can actually do.

I'm an Accredited Executive Coach (Association for Coaching) and a certified Human-Centred Coach. What I bring to every client isn't just methodology — it's lived experience. I've built teams, navigated pressure and learned firsthand what it takes to create a workplace where people genuinely want to stay.

I work with SME founders who are ready to stop leaving culture to chance — and start building something that actually lasts.

Because when people belong, everything changes.
