Craving change?
Or knee-deep in it?
Sometimes, all it takes are 2° to start moving in a new direction. In life or business.
I’m Jessica Labesehr, space holder & perspective shifter. I inspire and assist personal and business change through Speaking, Masterclasses and Retreats.
Why 2° degrees?
And not forty-five, you might ask.
Imagine you’re sailing from New York to Portugal. And change course by two degrees.
Guess where you end up?
In Morocco.
Not only a different country, but an entirely different continent.
Never underestimate the power of small change.

my LIFE TURNS
from untapped
to mapped
In 2023, I packed up my life in New Zealand (which had been home for 14 years), quit my well-paid tech job, moved on from a relationship I had overstayed to start a new life in the land of Pastel de Nata. 🥧
A couple of months before I resigned, I actually got promoted. Plus, New Zealand is incredibly beautiful! — So, this move had a real opportunity cost. 😬
But, staying would have come at an even bigger cost.
Feeling chronically tired, 30 flight hours too far from my family and existing, but not really feeling alive.
Within 18 months, I ….
• moved to Portugal
• packed and unpacked my monster suitcase 6 x times as I moved homes
• brainstormed my brand and registered my business
• lost a loved family member
• met the person I’d like to grow old with (when you know, you know 🤭)
• grew into being a (part-time) stepmom (I know!)
• while settling into a new country
• making new friends
• and only speaking 20 x words of portuguese (priorities!!)
• plus, coming out the other side of a health ‘scare’.
It’s been a lot. 😵💫
I’ve taken many turns. (Haven’t we all?) And tested a breadth of lifestyles.
Setting up camp in the library during my academic years.
Returning to the basics in India where I studied ancient principles to navigate the mystery that is life.
Calling New Zealand home for 14 years where I started picking kiwis and waiting tables while founding my first business and later working a corporate job for an award-winning tech company.
Now based in Portugal, I help people identify their next 2° Turn® to start moving into the direction they most long to go. By dipping a toe in the water. 💦 And realising, it’s not that deep.
Often, all it takes are 2 degrees to start moving towards a more beautiful version of our lives.
One that’s not without challenges.
But, we won’t die. And we might just live. 😎
We don’t want to get to the end of our lives pondering… I think I could have done this, but I didn’t.

“Jessica is brilliant at asking the right questions. She never pushed me into a certain direction, but rather helped tickle out this inner knowing. She helped me make decisions into a direction of more aliveness at a point where I wasn’t sure which way to turn. And they turned out to be really wonderful decisions. I’m deeply grateful and continue to work with Jessica, and recommend her to my friends."

“From our very first conversation, Jessica showed me that I didn't need to wait for perfect self-belief to start working towards my vision. Instead, small consistent steps at the edge of my comfort zone could gradually strengthen my self-belief. My vision for the future had been in my thoughts a thousand times, but voicing it aloud was not only challenging but also transformative. It’s been a true turning point. Thank you, Jess for this invaluable conversation.”

“I hadn’t realised how tough I’ve been with myself. Feeling I can only put my feet up once I’ve ticked everything off my list for the day. Jessica’s way of gently inquiring opened my eyes to these values I’ve never questioned. I’ve started to soften with myself and life is responding in wonderfully unexpected ways.”

"Jess is one of these special humans that I call ‘perspective shifters’. Far too humble to wave her own flag, she was absolutely born to guide people and take them on journeys!"
