Julie Gillespie

Julie Gillespie Mental Wellbeing Facilitator| Trainer | Coach | Mental Health First Aid Instructor I'm here to get essential conversations started.

My role is to help these conversations be human-centered, compassionate, inclusive, and safe. Conversations are what connect us and enable us to be functional compassionate humans.

​My consulting. coaching, and training work is grounded in over 25 years of business leadership experience and technical training, supported by an Executive Master of Business Administration and credentials in the Scie

nce and Practice of Wellbeing.

​I have lived expertise, as I have had mental ill-health, and know how tough it is to keep going when the deadlines are running and people are looking to be led. As a result, I have gone in deep and wide to understand what is happening and found incredible evidence-based frameworks that have brought insight, solutions, and resolution, which I now want to share with you! Becoming a Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) instructor was my bridge to be able to help others like me. MHFA is evidence-based training that provides people with the skills and confidence to have supportive conversations with their co-workers, helping to guide them to professional help if needed. My business experience is in small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) including my family’s business as Operations Management in a fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) environment, Director of Product Development (FMCG), Cosmetic Chemist (FMCG), and Marketing and Communications roles. In my role as Mental Wellbeing Consultant, I offer services in MHFA training, Strengths Profile Coaching, and aiding organisations in their journey of implementing ‘people-centric’ initiatives. My collaborative approach to problem solving means that I bring in knowledge experts as required to deliver projects. My services are customised for you and your organisation’s needs, providing the appropriate tools, structure, and guidance across the organisation.

2023 has flown by. We've disconnected from many things around us as we had to deep dive into the research stemming from some really hard conversations that we'd been a part of.
With 1 in 3 Australians feeling lonely, we've come to understand that our driver is critical: Transforming the way we Connect.
It shouldn't be so hard to connect, but we've become very practised at it, and it's hurting us.
We look forward to sharing with you our frameworks, training programs, and challenging ideas, to help you feel more connected... creating the opportunity for you thrive!

Is your attitude or your words more important?

Attitude is everything when it comes to having a conversation with someone. By reserving your judgment during the conversation you automatically start to provide a safe space for that person to say and be what they need to be. The words come later.

We've launched a Video Podcast!
After each recording, Emma (who you'll meet) and I have a conversation to reflect on what just happened. This helps me to do the intros and outros for each podcast but also we love talking about what we've just learnt.
From that, Emma started putting together show notes that captured all of this. So, we're sharing these with you.
We look forward to bringing you more episodes, and sharing a conversation about something that is important to you ... so let us know what you'd like to hear more about.

Conversations are what connects us. They enable us to become functional, compassionate humans.
