Biography

One of Australia’s foremost experts on thriving individuals and organisations, Graeme Cowan believes that the most admired people and organisations are great not despite adversity, but because of it. The common factor is being determined, and having the right mindset and skills, to consistently Bounce Back.

Having spent most of his life as a senior executive for organisations like Johnson and Johnson, Pfizer, Morgan and Banks, and AT Kearney, Graeme Cowans life hit a seemingly insurmountable roadblock in 2000, when he was diagnosed with severe depression. Five years and numerous hard set backs and decisions later, Graeme emerged not only with the bestselling book BACK FROM THE BRINK to his name, but also with a new attitude towards the traditional ways that companies and individuals approach adversity.

He is also authored “Best Practice in Managing Mental Health in the Workplace – click here for a free copy, and was lead judge for the Black Dog Institutes “Tackling Mood Disorders in the Workplace” writing competition – soon to become a book.
