About Symbia

We work with leaders and teams when it matters most

When clarity is missing, priorities are competing, and decisions really matter. We help teams move forward together by helping them think clearly, align properly, and act with confidence.

We don’t just facilitate, we help them navigate the messy, uncomfortable conversations when perspectives differ.  We bring judgement, experience, and the ability to move people from discussion to decisions. 

Clients don’t come to us for content — they come to us for support, challenge and judgement.

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.

Where we add the most value:

We are most useful when:

Clarity is needed before action

Alignment needs to be real, not just verbal

Decisions matter and can’t be avoided

Teams need to move forward together

In other words — when the work is important, and the path isn’t yet clear.

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:

Our Difference - Symbia 3

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.

Our Difference - Symbia 4

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.

Our Difference - Symbia 2

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.

Messy-Island

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.
