The story of our inspiration
Workplace Wellbeing SA’s chief wellbeing strategist is Rebecca Weatherill, a Strengths Profile practitioner with a Diploma of Positive Psychology and Wellbeing. She founded Workplace Wellbeing SA after life events led to a powerful lesson: that looking after her mental and physical wellbeing was the #1 factor contributing to her resilience, productivity and success.
“Growing up in Coober Pedy (yep, that's me and my family in our underground dugout c. 1980), I developed a healthy dose of resilience, which helped me to raise my daughter on my own and recover from devastating grief and loss, relationship breakdowns and subsequent professional burnout.
Along the way I developed a set of skills and tools that I use to help restore equilibrium when life gets challenging. I’ve come to understand first-hand that having the tools and knowledge to improve one’s wellbeing has had the greatest impact on their quality of life and ability to perform – both inside and outside the workplace. Through sharing this skillset with progressive organisations, we can empower businesses and their people to reach their full potential.”
