Here are all the details, as requested, for Read & Lead the Room™: your 30-Day Influence Upgrade.

If you’ve applied for this opportunity, there’s probably a good reason.

You’re someone who is capable, committed to your growth and ready for more — and you’re ready to step into another level of influence and impact.

Here’s the thing...

You can be highly capable.

You can have the right strategy.

You can know exactly what needs to happen next.

Yet if you can’t gain buy-in, bring key stakeholders or your team with you, or influence the decisions that turn that thinking into action, capability and strategy alone won’t create the results you want.

Influence matters.

Particularly under pressure and in the moments that shape careers, decisions and business results.

I’ve seen this play out throughout my corporate career and over the last decade working with professionals and leaders around the world.

There are highly capable women doing great work and ready for more.

  • They know their stuff.
  • They have the experience.
  • They have good ideas and sound strategies.
  • They have more potential than they are currently fulfilling.

Yet there are moments when all that capability and expertise doesn’t translate into the level of influence and impact they need, or are capable of.

  • The executive presentation where you need senior leaders to support an idea.
  • The critical stakeholder or client conversation.
  • The meeting where you need to gain buy-in to move something forward.
  • The moment when you’re challenged, interrupted or caught off guard.
  • The transition into a bigger role where suddenly you’re expected to influence across greater complexity, hierarchy and competing priorities.

If one or more of those situations immediately came to mind as you were reading, this is exactly the kind of work I want to help you with.

You may also have a sense that you’re ready for more.

  • More influence and impact.
  • Greater responsibility.
  • Bigger opportunities.
  • Greater confidence walking into increasingly important rooms and knowing you can handle what happens when you get there.
  • The ability to communicate something worth saying in a way that lands.
  • The ability to bring people with you rather than constantly pushing against resistance.
  • The opportunity to be recognised for the level of capability and potential you know is there.

Ultimately, to become the woman who can walk into the rooms that matter, trust herself to handle what happens there and create movement towards the outcomes she wants.

THESE MOMENTS MATTER

These moments are already shaping what happens next in your career, whether you’re influencing them intentionally or not.

  • your idea gains traction or gets overlooked.
  • you influence the decision or watch it move in another direction.
  • you bring the critical stakeholder with you or remain stuck in the same frustrating dynamic.
  • you’re seen as ready for greater complexity and leadership, or your capability remains less visible than it should be.
  • you’re trusted with the next opportunity, or it goes to someone else.

This is where I see highly capable women become frustrated.

They work harder. They prepare more. They become even better technically, believing that if the work is good enough, surely people will see it.

Yet expertise and hard work don’t automatically translate into influence.

Without a systematic approach, you can keep doing excellent work while struggling to create the level of traction, support and impact you know you’re capable of.

Over time, the cost can be significant.

Frustration rises. Your impact can become constrained. Career progression can stall. Opportunities can pass.

There’s another cost too.

It’s leaving the meeting replaying what happened. Thinking about what you wish you’d said. How you wish you’d responded. Why you let someone else’s behaviour affect how you showed up.

It’s knowing you were capable of more in that moment, but not being able to access or express it when it mattered.

When those moments repeat, the cost can become much bigger. Ideas remain unheard. Opportunities pass. Your contribution isn’t fully recognised.
More of your potential remains unrealised.

Greater influence isn’t only about changing what happens in the room. It’s about changing how you experience yourself within it, and expanding what becomes possible because more of your capability and potential can come through.

Influence changes how you’re perceived, how your ideas are received and what you’re able to make happen.

That matters for your career and leadership.

It also matters enormously for the organisation you’re part of.

 

YOUR INFLUENCE ISN’T ONLY A PERSONAL ASSET


Your level of influence doesn’t only affect your career.

It’s an organisational asset too.

Organisations depend on people being able to turn good thinking and sound strategy into action and results.

That requires people who can:

  • Communicate important messages in a way that lands.
  • Bring stakeholders, teams and decision-makers with them.
  • Build alignment across different priorities and perspectives.
  • Move conversations forward when they become stuck.
  • Navigate resistance, competing interests and difficult dynamics.
  • Influence the decisions that determine what happens next.
  • Create the momentum required to turn strategy into action.

A brilliant strategy has limited value if the people responsible for delivering it can’t bring others on the journey.

A transformation can stall when key stakeholders aren’t aligned.

An important message can lose its impact when it doesn’t land with the people who need to hear it.

Developing your influence therefore creates value well beyond your own career.

Your influence increases what you’re able to make happen - for yourself, for the people you lead and for the organisation you’re part of.

When your ability to influence grows, the return isn’t only personal. Your increased capability travels into the teams you lead, the decisions you shape, the stakeholders you align and the results your organisation is able to create.

INFLUENCE IS TOO IMPORTANT TO LEAVE TO CHANCE


As your career progresses, you’re increasingly expected to influence across different personalities, levels of seniority, competing priorities and complex dynamics.

Yet very few people are ever systematically taught how to do it.

They’re simply expected to figure it out.

I believe influence needs to be treated as a core professional and leadership capability.

The good news is that influence isn’t something you’re either born with or you’re not.

It can be learnt.

There are practical strategies that can help you become far more deliberate and effective in how you influence what happens next.

I call them The Influence Codes™.

They’re a systematic approach to influence I’ve developed through more than 20 years working in complex corporate environments and leading and shaping transformations, combined with the last decade deepening my understanding of human behaviour and coaching and mentoring leaders and professionals around the world.

At their core, they help you become more effective at how you:

  • READ what’s happening in the room and beneath the surface, while leading yourself under pressure.
  • RELATE to the people in front of you, building rapport and trust regardless of hierarchy or personality.
  • COMMUNICATE your message with greater influence, clarity and impact.
  • ENGAGE different people and perspectives and bring them with you, even when priorities or opinions differ.
  • NAVIGATE competing agendas, difficult dynamics and disruption, bringing the conversation back on track when needed.
  • LEAD the room towards more productive conversations, better decisions and outcomes. 

Together, these capabilities help you do something much bigger than communicate well.

You learn to read the room, recognise what’s happening within you, lead yourself through pressure and challenge, adapt to the people and dynamics in front of you, and lead the room towards something better.

That’s how you begin to move the room.

Not through force, dominance or becoming someone you’re not. By becoming more capable of creating movement through how you read, relate, communicate, engage, navigate and lead.

The Influence Codes™ aren’t about adopting a different personality or communication style. They are designed to equip you with more ways to influence effectively in the moment while remaining authentic to who you are.

I’ve used and refined this approach across industries and leadership levels, from frontline professionals through to executive and board levels.

Until now, I’ve only shared this work with people inside my mastermind and private client community.

I know how effective this approach can be.

I want more women to have access to it.

  INTRODUCING READ & LEAD THE ROOM™

A 30-Day Influence Upgrade

Powered by The Influence Codes™


This October, I’m opening Read & Lead the Room™ to a small group of 10 women. We’ll begin with a practical, in-person Influence Upgrade workshop in Melbourne on
Friday 16 October, followed by 30 days of application, coaching and integration working directly with me.

The focus is application because I don’t want you to leave Melbourne simply knowing more about influence.

I want you to walk back into your actual work able to use it.

You’ll bring the real conversations, decisions and opportunities you’re navigating:

  • The presentation or pitch you need to land.
  • The stakeholder you need to bring with you.
  • The difficult or high-stakes conversation you need to navigate.
  • The idea you need others to support.
  • The meeting you need to lead differently.
  • The promotion conversation you’re preparing for.
  • The opportunity where you need to demonstrate that you’re ready for what’s next.

We’ll use The Influence Codes™ to help you read what’s happening in the room and beneath the surface, recognise what’s happening within you, lead yourself and others more effectively under pressure, tailor how you communicate and engage others, consciously shape how you’re perceived, and become more intentional about how you influence what happens next.

You’ll learn to read the room. Lead yourself. Lead the room. Create movement towards the outcomes that matter.

Then you’ll take the work back into your actual career and put it into practice with my support.

Learn it.
Apply it.
Integrate it.
Become it.

The aim isn’t simply to know more about influence.

It’s to become more effective at using it when the outcome matters.

All in service of the impact you want to create and the level of leadership and career you’re moving towards.

Limited to 10 people. 
Enrolments Now Open for October 2026.

WHAT COULD GREATER INFLUENCE MAKE POSSIBLE?

 

Your ideas gain traction.

Your contribution carries greater weight.

You become more effective at bringing people with you, navigating complexity and influencing the decisions that matter.

You walk into important rooms better equipped to handle what unfolds.

You communicate with greater clarity and authority.

You stay grounded when you’re challenged.

You say what you wanted to say.

You hold your ground without becoming defensive.

You adjust without abandoning yourself.

You leave difficult conversations knowing you handled yourself in a way you’re proud of.

You become more deliberate about how you’re perceived.

People begin to experience you differently.

You’re trusted with greater complexity and responsibility.

You’re invited into more important conversations.

You build a reputation as someone who can navigate complexity, bring people together and make things happen.

Influence compounds.

One conversation can change a decision.

One decision can change a result.

One result can change how you’re perceived.

How you’re perceived can influence the opportunities, responsibilities and rooms you’re trusted with next.

Over the course of a career, that matters.

Greater influence isn’t only about getting other people to say yes.

It’s also about how you experience yourself in the moments that matter.

Imagine... getting into your car after an important meeting, closing your laptop after a difficult conversation or walking away from a high-stakes presentation and thinking:

“Yes. I handled that exactly the way I wanted to.”

Not because everything went perfectly.

Not because everyone agreed with you.

Because you stayed grounded. You trusted yourself. You said what needed to be said. You responded rather than reacted. You showed up as the woman and leader you wanted to be.

Collect enough of those moments and something changes.

You trust yourself more. You become less afraid of difficult conversations. You become more willing to speak, step forward, enter bigger rooms and take on greater responsibility.

You begin to experience yourself as a woman who can handle what comes with greater influence, visibility and leadership.

 

I KNOW WHAT CAN HAPPEN WHEN YOU USE THIS WORK


This is the part that really matters to me.

I’ve seen what can happen when a capable woman stops relying on effort alone and becomes much more deliberate about how she influences.

One of my clients had tried several times to influence her boss to restructure her team and roles. She knew what she wanted to propose. She had the rationale and the experience. She hadn’t been able to get the agreement she needed.

Using this approach, she went into the conversation differently prepared, landed her message more effectively and got her boss to agree to almost every proposal she put forward.

Another client told me that understanding what was really happening in the room helped her feel much less triggered and more confident expressing her views and working with challenging people.

Another used this systematic approach to influence when she stepped into a new role in a new company. Within a few short months, she had built strong relationships and had people actively seeking her out as the go-to person within her division.

Different women.

Different rooms.

Different outcomes.

The common thread isn’t simply better communication.

It’s learning to read what’s happening, lead yourself through it and handle the room differently.

Sometimes that changes the decision.

Sometimes it changes the relationship.

Sometimes the biggest change is how differently you experience yourself in the room. 

Often, it changes all three.

IS THIS YOUR ROOM?


I care about who is in this room.

Not because I’m looking for women who already have everything figured out.

Quite the opposite.

I work with women who want greater influence and impact in their career, harmony in their home and peace in their body.

They’re capable women, and I can often see more potential in them than they are currently fulfilling.

The women who get the greatest results from working with me tend to share a few important qualities.

They’re:

  • Coachable — open to learning, feedback and seeing things differently.
  • Intentional — willing to apply what they learn rather than simply consume more information.
  • Action-oriented — prepared to practise, refine and use the work in real situations.
  • Committed — to their growth, their careers and the futures they’re creating.

They show up.

They follow through.

They use what they learn.

That matters to me because I know this work only creates change when you take it out of the training room and put it into your life and career.

If you’re reading this thinking “That sounds like me,” I’d love you to consider joining us.

I also want to be upfront about something.

This experience will work best if you’re prepared to use it.

I don’t need you to do influence perfectly.

I do want you to bring the work into your actual meetings, conversations and relationships, notice what happens and be willing to keep refining.

That’s where the real upgrade happens: not simply knowing more, but becoming more capable of handling yourself, influencing others and creating the outcomes you want in the rooms that matter.

HOW YOUR 30-DAY INFLUENCE UPGRADE WORKS


DAY 1 | LEARN & APPLY

In-Person Influence Upgrade

We’ll begin with a practical, immersive Influence Upgrade workshop in Melbourne on Friday 16 October, working with The Influence Codes™ and applying them directly to the people, conversations and situations that matter in your work.

You won’t simply learn the methodology.

You’ll start using it.

WEEKS 1–4 | APPLY, REFINE & INTEGRATE

Real life becomes your practice ground.

You’ll take what you’ve learnt back into your meetings, presentations, stakeholder conversations and working relationships.

Each week, we’ll come back together for a Cohort Integration Online Session, giving you the opportunity to deepen the work, apply it to what you’re navigating in real time and refine how you use The Influence Codes™ across different people, situations and levels of pressure.

This is where knowledge starts becoming capability.

2 PRIVATE 1:1 INFLUENCE SESSIONS WITH ME

You’ll also have two private sessions with me during the 30 days.

These aren’t simply strategy sessions.

Of course, we can work through the stakeholder, conversation, opportunity or outcome in front of you.

We also have dedicated time to focus on you.

How you’re showing up.

What you’re noticing about yourself.

The patterns you’re ready to shift.

The authority you’re growing into.

The woman you’re becoming as you learn to use your influence more intentionally.

Sometimes the most important shift isn’t simply changing what you do in one room.

It’s changing how you see yourself when you walk into the next one.

Because the real upgrade isn’t only what you know about influence. It’s who you become when you’re in the room.

 

 

30 DAYS OF COACH-ON-TAP

Between our group and 1:1 sessions, you’ll also have access to Coach-on-Tap through our private group chat for the full 30 days.

It’s there for quick Q&A and support while you’re applying the work — an easy way to ask a question, check something with me or get a little guidance between sessions.

COMPLETE INFLUENCE CODES™ CURRICULUM

You’ll receive ongoing access to The Influence Codes™ curriculum — the complete body of work behind the methodology we’ll be using together.

This gives you something far more valuable than notes from a workshop.

You’ll have the framework, strategies and tools to return to as you encounter new stakeholders, bigger rooms, greater complexity and new stages of your career.

It becomes a professional resource you can continue drawing on as your influence and leadership grow.

YOUR INFLUENCE TOOLKIT

You’ll also receive practical tools designed to help you use the work when you need it:

The Influence Planner™
Prepare strategically for the conversations and rooms that matter, not only for what you want to say, but for the outcome you want, the people you need to influence, the dynamics you may need to navigate and how you want to show up while doing it.

The Boardroom Decoder™ Audio Series
10 bite-sized audio trainings to help you understand what’s really happening when challenge, interruption, difficult behaviour or pressure enters the room.

You’ll learn to recognise what’s happening around you and what’s happening within you, so you’re less likely to become triggered, intimidated or pulled into someone else’s dynamic and more able to lead yourself through the moment.

The goal isn’t to control how other people behave. It’s to have greater choice over how you handle yourself when they do, which changes the dynamic and the result.

The Authority Script Pack™
Practical language and conversation frameworks for moments when you need to disagree, hold your ground, redirect, respond to challenge or find the words under pressure.

So you have more options available when the pressure is on, rather than leaving the room thinking of what you wish you’d said.

Pre & Post Meeting Authority Resets™
Prepare not only for what you want to achieve, but how you want to show up in the room.

Then reflect afterwards in a way that helps you recognise what you handled well, learn from what you want to refine and build greater trust in yourself for the next conversation.

So more and more often, you leave the room able to say: “Yes. I handled that exactly the way I wanted to.”

None of this is here to give you more content to consume. It’s here to help you become...

The woman who can access her influence when it matters.

The woman who can read the room without being consumed by it.

The woman who can lead herself when the pressure rises.

The woman who can communicate what matters.

The woman who can bring people with her.

The woman who can navigate what unfolds.

The woman who can lead the conversation towards something better.

The woman who can move the room.

Limited to 10 women.

DON’T WAIT UNTIL YOU WISH YOU’D STARTED SOONER

One of the things I hear from some of my most successful clients is that they wish they’d given themselves access to this body of work much earlier in their careers.

Jenny, Global Leader in the Energy industry put it perfectly:

“I wish I’d had this system much earlier in my career. It would have made things so much easier in those pressure moments.”

What Jenny’s words capture so well is something I hear often from successful women I work with.

As your career grows, so does the complexity of the rooms you’re navigating.

The stakes become higher. The people you need to influence become more senior and diverse. You’re asked to bring people with you across competing priorities, personalities and agendas.

The capabilities that got you here still matter enormously.

You simply need to add to them.

Greater strategic influence gives you more ways to navigate those moments deliberately — rather than having to work everything out through experience, one room and one conversation at a time.

That’s why so many women tell me they wish they’d had access to this work earlier.

Not because they weren’t already successful.

Because they can see how much easier some of those moments could have been — and how much more they might have been able to make happen — if they’d had these strategies available to them sooner.

Maybe the question isn’t whether you could continue without doing this.

Of course you could.

You’re capable. You’ve already got this far.

The better question might be:

HOW DIFFERENT COULD THE NEXT STAGE OF YOUR CAREER FEEL, AND WHAT MORE COULD BECOME POSSIBLE, IF YOU DEVELOPED THIS CAPABILITY NOW RATHER THAN FIGURING IT OUT ON YOUR OWN ROOM BY ROOM?

If the career, leadership and future you’re creating will require you to influence across greater complexity, visibility and stakes, there is real value in deliberately developing that capability before you desperately need it.

You don’t have to wait until a difficult stakeholder becomes unbearable.

You don’t have to wait until an opportunity passes you by.

You don’t have to wait until you’re sitting in the bigger role wishing you’d developed these capabilities five years earlier.

You can back yourself now.

YOUR INVITATION

READ & LEAD THE ROOM™

30-Day Influence Upgrade
Powered by The Influence Codes™

Starts Friday 16 October 2026 | Melbourne

I’m limiting this experience to 10 people so this can be genuinely personal and applied to you.

This isn’t a room where you’ll sit back and listen to generic leadership theory.

You’ll have the opportunity to work with the actual rooms you’re walking into, the stakeholders you need to influence, the conversations you’re preparing for and the outcomes that matter to you.

Across the 30 days, you’ll be able to take what you’re learning and apply it directly to your career, with the space and support to refine your approach as you go.

You won’t just learn how to influence differently.

Over 30 days, you’ll learn, apply and integrate The Influence Codes™ so greater influence becomes part of how you operate, and a new standard for how you read the room, lead yourself and move it towards what matters.

Your investment for the complete 30-Day Influence Upgrade is:

$997

Future Read & Lead the Room™ experiences are $1,997.

I want IN for Read and Lead The Room™

CAN’T JOIN US IN MELBOURNE?

I’ll also be offering a virtual Read & Lead the Room™ experience for women who can’t join us in Melbourne.

If you’d like to join the virtual experience, email support@janinejacksoninternational.com to register your interest and we’ll send you the details.

IS YOUR ORGANISATION SUPPORTING YOUR PARTICIPATION?

If your organisation would like to support your participation in Read & Lead the Room™, we can arrange payment by invoice.

Please contact support@janinejacksoninternational.com for organisational payment arrangements.

WHAT COULD GREATER INFLUENCE BE WORTH TO YOU?

  • The idea that gains traction.
  • The stakeholder you bring with you.
  • The conversation you handle differently.
  • The decision you influence.
  • The result you create.
  • The reputation you build.
  • The opportunity you’re trusted with next.

The value of greater influence doesn’t end after 30 days.

You take it into every room that follows.

And every one of those rooms becomes another opportunity to build evidence for yourself:

I can handle this.
I can trust myself here.
I belong in this room.
I can influence what happens next.

 

ARE YOU READY TO BACK YOURSELF?

Sometimes someone else sees our potential and backs us.

Sometimes we need to do that for ourselves.

If you know there is more potential in you than you’re currently fulfilling...

If you know the next stage of your career will ask more of you...

If you’re ready to trust yourself more in the rooms that matter...

To handle challenge and pressure without losing yourself in it...

To say what needs to be said and communicate it in a way that lands...

To bring people with you rather than constantly pushing against resistance...

To build the reputation, influence and impact that can open bigger opportunities...

To become the woman who can move the room...

I’d genuinely love to have you in this one.

You don’t need to become someone different.

You’re backing your ability to access and express more of the capability and potential that is already there, particularly when it matters most.

The question is: are you ready to back her?

 

YES, I’M READY TO BACK MYSELF
