Why Should you Listen to me?

Hi, I’m Marie, and change and resiliency are my jam.

I started my career in journalism, working with The Canberra Times and USA Today, before working in public affairs and advising top executives in times of crisis for some of the world’s largest tech and financial services companies, both in Australia and abroad.

I also had a successful volleyball career, representing Australia as a junior and senior, and earning a scholarship to a Division 1 college in Virginia, America, and captaining the NSW Women’s Volleyball team in the Australian Volleyball League.

I thought I had resiliency down pat, but then I had a motorbike accident that nearly took my life and my leg, and my world fell apart. So I began researching how people cope with major life changes to find out why some people are really good at dealing with whatever life throws at them, while others struggle. I have conducted interviews with people all over the world who have been through major change in their lives to find those answers. I am now a mental health advocate and like to share my findings and tools with people around the world.

P.S. That’s you!

    I’ve heard a lot about people thriving in self-isolation. It is great when they perform better while working from home. There are lots of considerations when we are done with the pandemic. Thanks for sharing a resource to help cope with sudden changes!
