In the Room
Real conversations. Real rooms. Real results.
Jodie Horgan, founder of The Complicated Coach, has spent the last year building a coaching practice rooted in honesty, commercial reality and the kind of conversations most people avoid.
Along the way, she has been featured, shortlisted and invited into rooms that matter and not because she chased the spotlight, but because the work speaks for itself.
This page is a record of some particular moments.
In the room with Emma Grede
In Conversation | April 2026
In April 2026, Jodie attended an intimate session with Emma Grede… entrepreneur, co-founder of Good American and SKIMs board member, and one of the most prominent voices in women in business globally.
Jodie was the only person in the room to ask a question. She quoted Emma’s own words back to her:
“You said you don’t enjoy the performative notion of women supporting women. You want the real stuff.”
We’ve been in business for a year what one piece of real advice would you give us?
Emma loved it and Jodie loved her 🖤

Featured | February 2025
The Complicated Coach was featured in Ladies Who Launch just before her rebrand, its a platform celebrating women building businesses with purpose, grit and ambition.
Jodie was recognised for her approach to coaching: direct, honest, and built around the reality of running a business rather than the version people perform online.
