Courage Creator | Advisor & Mentor | Leadership Expert | Director of Change
Heightening business success and growth through education, coaching and mentoring for business owners, managers and teams.
Hi I’m Tracey
Customer Service Expert | Leadership Advisor | 35+ Years in the Corporate Retail World | Director of Change
I create courage so that women can build the foundations of business success through results-driven mentoring and business coaching. It’s kind of like when Cinderella put on her glass slippers and transformed into a bold, fearless and strong woman – I do that for women in business. I help women to gain confidence, direction and accountability, all while kicking goals and creating great success for themselves.
And why Cinderella? Because shoes is where my journey started…
As the granddaughter of the founder of the Mathers Shoes Empire, and third generation retailer, it was inevitable that I would become one too. In 1991, at just 24 years of age, the first Tracey Mathers Shoe Studio was born in Brisbane’s Tattersall’s Arcade. For over 25 years I owned and managed up to six shoe stores within Brisbane and the Gold Coast, as well as a warehouse and head office, leading a team of 25+ staff. I was able to propel my success forward through all facets of my business within sales, leadership, people management, communication, conflict management, marketing and team building. Quickly I learnt what works and what doesn’t.
It was across 35 years within the retail and corporate world that I learnt my true passion, despite my love of shoes, is people. I find people fascinating. I was always having great conversations with my staff, suppliers and my customers, and I found that I could gain great insight and powerful outcomes being with others.
When I sold my stores in 2016, helping others to achieve their dream of success was the next natural progression in my career path. Through my work as an advisor, speaker, mentor and coach, I have helped hundreds of women build resilience and confidence, find their ‘why’, and empower them to achieve their goals.
I love to see people with a desire for change gain more control, increase fulfillment and achieve massive growth in every aspect of life. And I believe we cannot do it alone – I could not have had the success in my life without the guidance of my ‘Circle of Trust’!
I will help you to discover what has been holding you back. I love to see the difference even the slightest change can make to someone going forward and happily share my experiences to gain greater clarity, making people happier in their lives.
I look forward to working with you to develop your courageous spirit and achieve the success you’ve dreamt about!
Let’s do this! x TM.
“The only thing often stopping us is our inability to see what we are truly capable of. When we learn how to gain control of the fear then our desire for success becomes clearer and stronger, nothing will then stop us”.

Follow My Journey
Why are we so afraid to admit that we don’t have all the answers yet? It’s not a sign of failure, but an opportunity for future growth and learning. It’s okay not to know it all, it’s okay to ask for help, and it’s more than okay to join forces with other smart minds to, as they say, ‘chew the fat’.
My Values
Making a Positive Impact
I am passionate about making a positive impact in people’s lives, business or personal. I truly care about people and want to see you succeed, whatever success means to you. I promise my clients that when working with me, you will become someone that you’re proud of, unlock your potential and leave feeling inspired to create the success you deserve. Let’s celebrate your wins together!
Credibility
I was born into a retail family where my career and success journey started some 35 years ago. For 25 years I owned and managed up to six retail stores within Queensland, leading a team of 25+ staff members. Being a small business owner myself I have lived it, breathed it, done it all before, and have a wealth of knowledge that I share with my clients. I have been invited to speak at conferences and events throughout Australia where I teach my learnings within sales, leadership, people management, conflict management, communication, marketing and team building.
A Comprehensive Approach
I know that not one size fits all when it comes to management, success and growth. I don’t use pre-prepared questionnaires or programs, and there is no cookie-cutter approach. No matter how I help you, be it through private mentoring, business coaching, profiling or women’s only group sessions, I use an evidence-based approach to ensure that you get the most benefit for your individual needs. I talk to you, I listen to you, I work for you, and I want to see you succeed in the areas you choose.
“I love that you LOVE people so much and have this burning desire to help them. The world needs more of that. More Traceys. You have helped me in every aspect of my life. Personal, business, emotional, spiritual and I feel blessed that you came into my life at the time you did. Since then I have grown into someone I am actually really proud of. I was heading down a road of self destruction, anger, sadness, self sabotage, and you taught me that this is not what life should be about.”

“I can’t believe the difference Tracey’s mentoring program has made to my life. The difference with Tracey, is having someone to hold my hand (so to speak), check up on me and hold me accountable. Tracey has taken me out of my comfort zone and into the future, and boy does my future look fabulous both personally and professionally. I am kicking goals on a daily basis and I now have a plan. Tracey has taught me to take control of my life, to put myself first and to truly BELIEVE IN MYSELF and what I can and will achieve. I am passionate going forward about who I am and I am looking forward to the next chapter of my life thanks to Tracey. I am booking another three months so stay tuned!”
