Key Points for Thea O'Connor

Throughout her career, TEDx speaker, Thea O'Connor has been at the forefront of changing personal and cultural mindsets for the sake of our wellbeing.
She helped change public health messages about weight management to prevent stigmatisation of larger people, well before diversity and inclusion was 'a thing'.
As the world’s first Nap-tivist (napping activist) Thea is not interested in business as usual. She’s more interested in what works – and if that means embracing the powernap to boost energy and attention – then bring it on!
Thea pioneered the introduction of menopause awareness to Australasian workplaces so that women don’t have to suffer in silence or press pause on their careers.
As a qualified health professional (dietitian), science graduate and winner of Adelaide University’s Prize in Genetics, you can rest assured all her work is evidence-based.
