Rebecca Hannan

Rebecca Hannan is a Workplace Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategist, coach and facilitator who helps people think well, lead well and live well. Her career spans over four decades across mining, education, local government, justice, community and private sectors. She also holds a Psychology Honours degree focused on workplace mental health. Rebecca brings a rare mix of lived, practical and research-informed experience to every room she works in.

Rebecca has designed and delivered a wide range of mental health and wellbeing programs and presentations across mining, oil and gas, the public sector, government and private enterprise. Her work across these industries has given her a deep understanding of how communication, culture, and change shape the wellbeing of people at work and at home.

Her Honours research explored the barriers and facilitators to putting evidence-based mental health interventions into practice in workplaces, using a systems thinking approach. It means her coaching looks beyond the individual to the leadership, culture and wider systems that help people thrive or hold them back.

Rebecca coaches leaders and teams in:
• Communication, assertiveness and setting professional boundaries, including how to have the conversations people tend to avoid
• Recognising unconscious bias and microaggressions, and building inclusive, culturally safe workplace behaviours
• Working effectively across multicultural and multigenerational teams
• Navigating organisational change and building personal and team resilience
• Supporting others through change, career planning and professional development

Having built several businesses from the ground up, including leading a team of 20 as Director of a real estate company, Rebecca understands the pressures leaders face.

Away from work, you’ll find her walking in nature, preparing healthy food and spending time with the family she adores.
