Over 2,000 executives mentored
About Yvonne Cohen- Executive Mentor & Leadership Partner
Who I Partner With
I work with executives across Australia from ASX-listed companies and government agencies to private enterprises and not-for-profits who are ready to expand their influence and impact.
I mentor leaders stepping into bigger roles, whether it’s a promotion, board appointment or transition into greater visibility, giving them the clarity and confidence to accelerate results.
Organisations engage me to strengthen succession, build leadership pipelines and ensure their most capable people are ready for the challenges ahead.
For women in leadership, I provide a trusted space to explore voice, presence and advancement, helping them lead with confidence on their own terms.
In every engagement, I meet leaders where they are — with professionalism, empathy and a focus on outcomes that matter.
My Approach: What Makes This Mentoring Different
Many mentoring or coaching offerings promise quick fixes, checklists or one-size-fits-all models. My work is different. I commit to:
-
Contextually grounded guidance
Drawing from Australian systems, organisational norms and leadership realities (not imported frameworks) -
Tailored, outcome-driven partnerships
Each engagement begins with clear goals aligned to your world -
Confidential, courageous space
Where you can bring your real questions without filter -
Combination of mindset, presence and strategy
Not just “skills,” but how you think, show up and act
I see my role as your thinking partner: to reflect back what you can’t see, to ask the hard questions, and to help you chart a path forward you believe in.
Decision Point: Women in Leadership Mentoring Guide
Designed specifically for ambitious women leaders, this guide addresses the unique challenges and opportunities faced when navigating career-defining decisions. You’ll find insightful reflections on aligning your choices with personal values, strategically evaluating alternatives, managing risks, and leveraging your unique strengths. Empower yourself with the clarity to confidently shape your career trajectory, assert your leadership style, and make authentic decisions that resonate deeply.
Why I Started CareerFix
I created Careerfix to fill the gaps I saw in leadership development and executive transition. Too many programs promised the world but delivered little. Too many coaches encouraged without strategy. Too many models measured performance but ignored alignment.
After navigating my own career transitions including redundancy I rebuilt from the inside out. Careerfix reflects that journey: grounded, structured and focused on real, lasting change for leaders and organisations across Australia.
Background & Credibility
Over the years I’ve mentored more than 2,000 senior leaders across Australia’s corporate, government and not-for-profit sectors. Many new engagements come via referrals. My clients regularly tell me that within months they notice sharper clarity, stronger visibility or accelerated progression.
My mentoring is shaped by real transitions I’ve lived myself — stepping into bigger roles, rebuilding after redundancy, and redefining how I lead. Careerfix grew out of that experience. It’s structured, practical and built to create lasting change for leaders and organisations across Australia.
I’ve worked with Yvonne twice in the past four years and both times landed my dream job. Her professional CV support and selection criteria guidance were invaluable, and I highly recommend her to anyone needing updated resumes or sharper interview skills.
