Thea O’Connor is a senior advisor on workplace wellbeing and productivity, helping leaders, teams and individuals improve their workplace engagement and effectiveness through body intelligence and better health. She draws on 30 years of experience in health promotion including in the fields of nutrition (as a dietitian), body image, sleep science and workplace health.
Thea is committed to rehumanising our work ethic so it is fashioned around human biological rhythms rather than around machines. That's why she is a Naptivist, promoting the powernap as the new coffee break. She also promotes a life stage approach to worker wellbeing, so different stages of the life cycle, such as menopause, can be accommodated.
