About
I partner with senior leaders, HR and safety professionals to reduce the risks, prevalence and impacts of poor mental health so that they can enjoy higher productivity, reduced risk and more engaged employees.
I am passionate about equipping individuals and teams with the skills and knowledge that boosts individual and team resilience. My work is underpinned by the evidence based Resilience at Work toolkit which introduces the levers available to enhance resilience. It's much more than self-care.
I am also a trained Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) instructor, delivering both private and public workshops in Brisbane and nationally.
Featured on ‘Australian Story’ and multiple ABC podcasts such as Richard Fidler’s ‘Conversations’, I was also interviewed by Osher Gunsberg for ‘Tall Tales & True’, in 2017.
Clients include QSuper, Connexus Financial, Aurecon, Seqwater, Queensland University of Technology, Powerlink Queensland, Office of Industrial Relations, Hastings Deering and Western Downs Regional Council.
Some share their experience of hearing me speak:
“Highly recommend Donna for facilitation, engagement and as a speaker in relation to the difficult topics of mental well-being, organisational awareness of health and mental well-being and senior management focus on these areas. Donna's engagement with our senior management audience was captivating and delivered the desired outcomes we were hoping to achieve in commencing the change process for the audience.”
“Donna executes everything she does with clarity and purpose – she’s at her very best when she is working on projects she believes in. She delivers her presentation “We Need to Talk” with disarming openness. She has a genuine drive to share her story, not just to ‘talk’, but so that each and every audience member will really hear her message.”
