Jason Pascoe
Jason Pascoe is a leadership consultant, coach, and facilitator specialising in Solution-Building Conversations and Host Leadership.
With over 20 years’ experience across education, health, and leadership development, Jason has worked with more than 50,000 educators and leaders across Australia and internationally. He is the Director of The Enactive Solution and Vice President of the Australasian Solution Focused Association.
Jason’s work is grounded in a simple idea: the quality of our conversations shapes the quality of our classrooms, teams, and outcomes.
In schools, this means helping educators:
- handle challenging behaviour without escalation
- reduce workload pressure by having more effective conversations
- support student wellbeing without taking on more emotional burden
- build stronger, more respectful relationships with students, colleagues, and families
His sessions are known for being highly practical, engaging, and immediately usable. Participants leave with simple tools and language they can apply straight away—in classrooms, staffrooms, and leadership conversations.
Rather than adding “one more thing,” Jason helps educators work smarter within the complexity they’re already navigating.
Drawing on Solution-Focused Practice and Host Leadership, Jason offers a clear, structured approach to:
- leading without burning out
- responding instead of reacting
- creating small shifts that lead to meaningful change
If you’re looking for approaches that are realistic, evidence-informed, and actually work in busy school settings, these sessions are designed for you.

“Why Is This Young Person So Hard to Teach? Understanding the Diagnoses PDA, IED, ODD, CD and ASPD’ – Aphra Millis”
Aphra was great, so honest, down to earth and personable. I really loved the fact that she could talk to the topic both on a personal and professional level. She certainly raised awareness of a number of conditions and diagnoses that we are starting to see more of. Highly recommend her.
