Sharon Eckert is an advocate, educator, and founder of Intro Power Pty Ltd, the company behind Intro Power® and Efficient Small Business Solutions—two initiatives committed to improving equity, access, and confidence across career transitions. In addition to her company work, Sharon also operates as a sole trader under Business Basics & Beyond and Inner Potential, offering public-facing resources, mindset coaching, and education tools that support emotional intelligence, self-advocacy, and career reinvention.

With a career spanning over two decades in local government, regulatory frameworks, and business transformation, Sharon brings deep insight into the barriers that individuals—particularly veterans and their families—often face when re-entering or realigning within the civilian workforce.

Based in Southern Adelaide, Sharon has long spoken out about the disparity in funding, visibility, and in-person access to support services in the South compared to the northern suburbs and city centre. Her advocacy is firmly grounded in community experience and a desire to strengthen local access while also expanding broader awareness of veteran strengths, soft skills, and lived expertise.

Sharon’s mission is not commercial—it's systemic. Through free content and grassroots advocacy, she helps individuals be seen, valued, and supported—regardless of where they start. Sharon’s advocacy for veteran and partner employment is grounded in a commitment to equity of access—particularly in Southern Adelaide, where support services, training providers, and recognised veteran initiatives have historically received less attention than the northern suburbs or city centre.

Neither Sharon nor her businesses have any professional or financial ties to the northern suburbs. She’s always been a southerner and has consistently spoken out – on behalf of conversations within her community – about the lack of funding, resources, and in-person access to support, training, and visibility in the South. While Sharon’s business origins began locally, her long-term goals have always focused on equal opportunity for all. Much of her content is made freely available online to ensure access isn’t limited by location or finances.

Through Intro Power®, Business Basics & Beyond, and Inner Potential, Sharon provides reflective education, practical tools, and trauma-aware frameworks that help individuals reconnect with their strengths and pursue meaningful employment.

Sharon’s business, Intro Power®, has joined the Veteran Employment Commitment and she is a volunteer mentor with the Veterans SA Career and Business Mentoring Program through Business Basics & Beyond. All of this work is undertaken voluntarily, with a long-term focus on inclusion and community impact. 

Although the employment arm of her business is currently paused, she continues to deliver free, accessible content focused on mindset development, soft-skill translation, emotional intelligence, and respectful career re-entry. While Sharon does not collect testimonials, she observes growing engagement and cultural influence as others begin to adopt the language, frameworks, and values she promotes. 

Sharon’s role is to hold the space between where someone has been and where they’re ready to go—helping the wider community better understand the value, strength, and insight veterans and their families bring to every environment they enter.
