Gerard Penna specialises in leadership, high performing teams, transformational change and executive wellbeing. He understands that executives and leaders are expected to maintain high levels of performance and productivity, and that the quality of their leadership is directly proportional to their wellbeing.

As such, Gerard has a vision that leaders who focus on their wellbeing perform at their best, achieve work-life balance, maintain healthy practices and create more productive team cultures. This vision is inspired by Gerard’s personal journey in operating at the highest and most demanding levels of leadership, whilst maintaining work-life balance and healthy practices.

With GLWS, Gerard brings the latest research-based wellbeing diagnostics and development techniques to equip senior leaders with the resources they need to flourish in high-demand environments.

Programs range from 1:1 executive coaching, and work with executive teams through to larger classroom style sessions for up to 20 leaders at a time. During executive wellbeing workshops, Gerard works with leaders to establish the connection between wellbeing and work performance, as well as life satisfaction, helping participants to cultivate the conditions in which they can go on to develop effective, driven teams, and an organizational culture of balance, growth, and sustainability.

As a GLWS strategic partner, Gerard has invested in GLWS as a powerful and accessible way for leaders and team members to understand their state of wellbeing today, and take informed action to achieve higher levels of wellbeing. Gerard finds that the flexibility of GLWS in differentiating and integrating leader and team wellbeing is unique.

As an alumnus of Harvard University Kennedy School, Deakin University, and Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Gerard highly recommends the GLWS for any leader or manager who wishes to make a difference for people and for performance.
