In this conversation, we sit down with Dr Paula Conroy to explore why leader health and wellbeing is no longer a nice to have, but a critical foundation for performance, culture and long-term impact. Together, we unpack how organisations can move beyond reactive wellbeing responses and instead build proactive systems that genuinely support leaders before burnout, illness and disengagement take hold.

Across workplaces, rising absenteeism, presenteeism, toxicity and psychosocial hazards are clear signals that something is not working. With one in two Australians living with a chronic disease, leaders are under increasing pressure, often while neglecting their own health. Dr Paula brings a powerful perspective to this challenge, drawing on her experience as a GP across surgery, emergency and primary care, alongside her lived experience of burnout and leadership strain.
This conversation explores why prevention matters, how health foundations are often overlooked in leadership development, and what becomes possible when leaders are supported to move from surviving to thriving. Dr Paula shares practical, compassionate insights into recognising early warning signs, strengthening core health foundations, and embedding sustainable systems that protect energy, clarity and vitality over the long term.
