About the Author

Tanya is a mentally healthy workplaces expert, workplace change facilitator and certified leadership coach, helping leaders, teams and organisations to thrive in this rapidly changing and high demand world of work.

With a 25-year career leading people, projects and change across the health sector Tanya now works primarily with public sector entities to develop mentally healthy work practices, strengthen workplace cultures; and develop safe, effective and high performing leaders and teams.

She draws on her own experiences as a senior leader dealing with work overload and change saturation to support leaders to develop more sustainable individual strategies and to assist workplaces to manage the environmental factors that contribute to unsafe levels of work-related stress.

Her engaging and authentic approach is always remarked upon as she brings life to her content, helping people absorb key information and implement the strategies required to achieve true change.

Tanya has worked extensively with health, education, local government and environmental agencies in consulting, coaching and training activities including delivery of her popular Cracking the Change Code™ program. This blended program has supported a myriad of public entities to implement enterprise-wide change initiatives. Passionate about developing others, her program ensures change leaders develop necessary skills and knowledge to lead successful change safely and effectively into the future.

Her Transforming Norm™ workplace transformation program aligns with the content in this book and brings together a series of support activities previously conducted individually, into one holistic transformation program, making it much easier for workplaces to be mentally healthy.

Tanya lives in the rolling hills of Gippsland and when not working diligently in her practice can be found dining out with her husband (the beloved Mr. V), enjoying a drive through the hills or laughing with dear family and friends.
