About Trish Kensell
I’m an experienced organisational and business change leader and coach with over 17 years of experience supporting individuals, teams and senior leaders in Australia and internationally. I’ve partnered with leading organisations on large-scale transformation, leadership development and team effectiveness, with clients including Shell, Siemens, Microsoft, Ericsson, and major Australian companies like CommBank and Westpac. These experiences have given me valuable insight into the complexities of high-pressure environments and the importance of tailored support for professionals.
My focus areas are Career Coaching, High-Performance Coaching, Team Building and Leadership Coaching. I help clients navigate challenges, improve the way they work, and achieve sustainable progress over time.
As a registered coaching psychologist, I bring a deeper understanding of human behaviour and workplace dynamics to my coaching practice. My approach goes beyond surface-level strategies to focus on the psychological principles that support lasting performance, growth and change. Through my practice, Skill and Will, I combine psychological training with practical business experience to deliver coaching that is tailored, evidence-based and grounded in what works.
At the heart of my work is a simple aim: to help people do well at work and feel well while they are doing it.
I always knew I wanted to be a coach. I love understanding how people think, feel and behave. I grew up in regional NSW, then headed for the big city to complete my undergraduate and Masters degrees at the University of Sydney.
I take a structured, evidence based approach. Here are some of the tools I use with leaders exploring future career options and those looking to improve their performance.
Results that engage and inspire people to work together
When people are self aware, they can realise more of their potential. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) assessment provides an easy to understand framework for improving self awareness.
A career assessment that delivers insight and direction
By identifying personal interests and how these relate to different occupations, the Strong assessment opens up the world of work to first time career seekers and people considering a career transition.
The best results are created through relationships
Your organisation is interconnected by teams—by people interacting in big and small ways every day. The best results are created through relationships. Relationship Intelligence (RQ) is particularly important during times of change. Apple, Amazon, John Hopkins University and Rio Tinto all rely on the Core Strengths RQ platform.
