Reflection & Connection Women's Workshop with Vicki Tyler

As part of our events for Mental Health Awareness Week 2026, Project Sunrise is excited to announce a women's-only Reflection & Connection Workshop with Vicki Tyler.

The 2hr workshop will be via koha donation and explore how we connect. An awakening quiz, reflection, and the science and stories behind our human need for connection. Discover ways to connect more.

Plus there'll be an opportunity to create your own Wonder Box to take away and use.

About Vicki Tyler:

Vicki is the founder of The Sleepwalking Effect™ and creator of Campaign 195, a project which asks the same leadership question to one woman, in every country in the world. A TEDx speaker, she has spoken on three continents to thousands of leaders, and her upcoming business book is called No Permission Required.

The drive behind the work traces back to her early twenties, when after five years of backpacking, which she calls the University of Life, she experienced two near-death spinal accidents. These lit a fire. She started asking what life would look like lived fearlessly, and has spent every year since finding out.

Campaign 195 seeks to discover why capable women in leadership still hesitate to speak up. The findings go to the United Nations, targeted for International Women’s Day 2027.

Vicki is obsessed with wasted human potential, and helping individuals and companies access more of it. Leadership is a goal many aspire to. The privilege that comes the moment the title is earned carries weight that often goes unexplored, and those who suffer are the very people that privilege was earned to lead.

Science overwhelmingly shows behavioural patterns can be interrupted and mental skills can be learned. This is her area of expertise.

She is a wife, Mum/Mom to two sons and a dual New Zealand-US citizen, which she says provides a David and Goliath perspective of the world.

Her favourite word: perspective.

Project Sunrise is a community to support people navigating burnout and mental health struggles.
