Building resilience to avoid burnout in our personal and professional lives

Originally a senior leader in companies like Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer and AT Kearney, Graeme understands the complex dynamics that underpin any organisation and leadership position.

Recognising the stress that comes with corporate workplaces, Graeme founded ThriveCentral in 2010 to help employees cope with volatile and uncertain work environments. Supported with research evidence, he promises that all his resources are practical and directly relevant to his audience.
