Coaching in leadership, management and design

Judd Garratt of Guide + Mentor

I help leaders and managers scale their impact without burnout

I've spent my career leading and managing people, including working at Atlassian for 10 years. I’ve built and run everything from small teams working on a new product, to large teams spread across four continents.

My approach centres around the belief that leadership and management are made up of skills that can be learned.

I coach people on building these skills to grow their impact while also thriving as a person. More about me
