LifeStar exists to solve an expensive problem coaches face every day: clients showing up stressed, overwhelmed, and running on empty.

Traditional wellbeing tools aren’t enough. What’s needed is a session-ready framework that helps coaches fuel client energy, protect resilience, and deliver results that last.

That’s why founder Sue Johnston, PCC — leadership coach, facilitator, and creator of LifeStar — designed LifeStar as a human sustainability system built for coaching practice.

Who we work with

    • Executive and leadership coaches who want clients to stay engaged, energised, and progressing.

    • Internal coaches, HR and OD leaders who want to embed resilience and healthy leadership into workplaces.

    • Workplaces that want to build leadership capacity and resilience. 

Our Difference

LifeStar isn’t another checklist of wellness tips. It’s a practical system for sustainable results, designed for coaches to integrate seamlessly into their work.

With LifeStar you can:

  • Turn energy into momentum clients can build on.

  • Translate balance into resilience that lasts.

  • Unlock potential into results clients will keep — and refer others for.

    Why Coaches Trust LifeStar

    LifeStar combines the latest research with proven coaching methodologies to give you:

    • Session-ready tools you can use immediately.

    • Client-facing resources (via the LifeStar App) to reinforce progress between sessions.

    • A clear, measurable way to show clients their progress is sustainable.


LifeStar's unique approach to wellbeing

The LifeStar framework is built on five points:

  • Move
  • Stop
  • Care
  • Connect
  • Achieve

Together, they form a science-backed system that makes balance visible, energy measurable, and progress sustainable.
