Speakers

• Thea O'Connor - Why Menopause is having a #metoo moment, and why your workplace needs to know about it?
Thea O’Connor is health and wellbeing expert who has pioneered ground-breaking approaches to health in a range of settings. Throughout her career, Thea has been at the forefront of changing personal and cultural mindsets for the sake of our wellbeing.

• She helped change public health messages about weight management to prevent stigmatization of larger people, well before diversity and inclusion was 'a thing'.
  
• As a Naptivist she works to normalize the power nap in our non-stop culture to protect our personal sustainability.
  
· Thea broke new ground by bringing awareness about menopause to Australian workplaces five years ago. As Director of Menopause at Work Asia Pacific, she has helped many workplaces across diverse industries become menopause-friendly, and helped hundreds of women navigate their careers, and this life-stage, with confidence.
As a qualified health professional (dietitian), science graduate and winner of Adelaide University’s Prize in Genetics, you can rest assured all her work is evidence-based. Thea is also a TEDx speaker on menopause at work and gave evidence at the recent Federal Senate Inquiry into menopause.
