About Next Level You

Next Level You is a Melbourne-based executive coaching and consultancy practice supporting leaders, entrepreneurs and organisations to create better experiences of work - especially for the ADHD & neurodivergent minds among us.

We work with folks who care about performance and purpose. Who want high standards without burnout. Who believe growth matters - but don’t believe suffering has to be part of the deal.

Work can be challenging - in fact it's meant to be. It can stretch you, test you and expose your blind spots. But it shouldn’t feel like a constant battle with your own brain, your team or your calendar.

We help transform that experience.

Founded in 2017, Next Level You began by supporting clients seeking direction in their personal lives before shifting focus to individuals navigating overwhelm and growth in their work life. Over time, our work expanded into leadership and organisational contexts - particularly where ADHD and neurodiversity intersect with performance, culture and capability.

Today, we partner with:

  • Neurodivergent leaders and business owners ready to step into their next level
  • Organisations committed to genuine neuro-inclusion
  • Teams seeking stronger communication and behavioural flexibility
  • Workplaces navigating complexity, scale and growth

Our approach is strengths-based, trauma-informed and refreshingly practical. We combine executive coaching, behavioural insight (including Extended DISC), and structured capability programs like Execute to turn insight into action.

We believe you can build a high-performing career or organisation without sacrificing your health, relationships or sense of humour.

Yes, we take performance seriously.

No, we don’t believe you have to take yourself quite so seriously.

Next Level You exists to help people grow - not just in what they achieve, but in how they experience the work they do.

Because reaching your next level shouldn’t come at the expense of enjoying the climb.

About Jen

Jen Westphal is an executive coach, facilitator and consultant who works at the intersection of leadership, behaviour and neurodiversity. With more than 20 years of experience across marketing, events, higher education and organisational coaching, she brings both commercial insight and deep human curiosity to her work.

Jen partners with leaders, business owners and organisations to improve the experience of work - particularly for ADHD and neurodivergent professionals - helping transform inconsistency, friction and overwhelm into clarity, capability and sustainable performance.

Certified in organisational and team coaching, and an accredited Extended DISC practitioner, Jen blends behavioural science, systems thinking and practical coaching methodology to create meaningful change. She is known for being warm, perceptive and direct - equally comfortable holding strategic conversations with executives as she is unpacking the “why am I like this?” moments that unlock growth.

A lifelong learner, wannabe polymath and unapologetic optimiser of the human experience, Jen is passionate about tools that build self-awareness and behavioural flexibility. She believes high performance and humour are not mutually exclusive - and that work should stretch you, not drain the life out of you.

Jen lives on the outskirts of Melbourne with her delightful (and ever-growing) son, and maintains that curiosity, levity and a good trivia night make the perfect addition to any leadership toolkit.

Guiding Principles

At Next Level You, our work is grounded in two core ideas: growth is possible, and flexibility makes it sustainable.

We develop growth-minded leaders.

We believe capability is not fixed. Leadership, performance and confidence can be developed.

A growth-oriented leader sees feedback as information, mistakes as data and discomfort as a requisite part of development. They are not paralysed by perfectionism or defensiveness. Instead, they learn to ask better questions, seek support when needed and keep moving forward.

In modern workplaces - particularly where ADHD and neurodivergence are part of the picture - this mindset is essential. Without it, people either push themselves toward burnout trying to “get it right,” or withdraw when things feel hard.

Growth creates momentum. It shifts the experience of work from frustration to forward movement.

We grow behavioural flexibility.

If growth is the belief, behavioural flexibility is the practice.

Behavioural flexibility is the ability to adapt how you communicate, decide and respond in order to achieve the best outcome in a given situation. The greater your range of responses, the more effective you become - at anything.

Using tools such as Extended DISC and strengths-based coaching, we help leaders understand their natural behavioural wiring - including how they show up under pressure, what energises them and where they may become rigid or reactive.

For neurodivergent professionals, this is not about getting better at masking or becoming someone else. It is about expanding your options so you can lead authentically and impactfully.

In practice, behavioural flexibility means:

  • Responding instead of reacting
  • Communicating with intention
  • Regulating emotion under pressure
  • Adapting without abandoning your strengths

Together, a growth mindset and behavioural flexibility create leadership that is resilient, inclusive and sustainable.

Because high performance shouldn’t require you to work against yourself.
