We Understand The Pressures Of Delivering For The Business While Balancing The Needs Of Your People
We know the tension between resource, budget and urgency, the gap between what we think leadership should be and what it actually often is. That’s why we're driven to help organizations build healthier, more effective ways of working though our workshops, capability training and consultancy.
Our approach is grounded in the idea that business performance, leadership and personal well-being are inseparable. We teach leaders and teams how to strengthen mental fitness, build mental emotional agility, and communicate in ways that drive real results. Because strategy only works when people are equipped to deliver it—and we’re here to make sure they are.
Why We See What Others Often Miss
Symbia was built on a simple belief: You can’t help organisations move forward unless you understand both how business works and how people behave within it.
Our background spans:
- Psychology and human behaviour
- Research and insight
- Marketing, brand, strstegy & operations
- Working inside global organisations
- Facilitating complex leadership conversations
This combination allows us to quickly understand what’s really going on — including what isn’t being said — and help teams focus on what actually matters.
How We Work:
At our best, you’ll experience us as:
Calm and observant
direct but human
structured but adaptable
focused on outcomes
We create environments where people feel: Safe enough to be honest but stretched enough to think differently. Because real progress needs both.
Meet our Founder; Jodie Rogers
Jodie works with leaders and teams when clarity is hard to find, priorities are competing, and decisions really matter
With a background spanning psychology, research, and senior roles inside global organisations like Unilever, she brings a rare combination of commercial understanding and human insight.
In the room, Jodie is known for:
- Creating space for honest conversation
- Surfacing what’s not being said
- Challenging thinking without judgement
- And helping teams move from discussion to clear, actionable decisions
Her style balances support and challenge — building trust while ensuring teams don’t avoid the work that really matters.
Clients don’t just value what Jodie knows — they value how she helps them think, align, and move forward together.
Our Difference:
We bring judgement, not just facilitation
We don’t just run sessions We actively shape the conversation, challenging thinking, surfacing what’s not being said, and helping teams move to real decisions.
We understand business, not just behaviour
With experience inside global organisations, we understand strategy, pressure & performance. This means we can keep up in the room, and push thinking further.
We design for outcomes, not activity
Our work is not about engagement for its own sake. It’s about clarity, alignment, and action that carries forward beyond the room.
We’re comfortable where things are messy
We work in moments where: priorities conflict, decisions are hard, conversations haven’t been had. Because that’s where progress actually happens.
Symbia Works All Over The Globe
OUR TEAM
We work with a trusted network of experienced practitioners — people who understand organisations from the inside and know how to navigate complexity. They are not just facilitators or trainers. They are practitioners who can hold meaningful conversations and help move work forward.
This allows us to scale while maintaining the quality and judgement Symbia is known for.
