*Part of Inclusive Leadership Series* Speaker :
WA International Women’s Day Leaders Breakfast 2027
We’re proud to welcome Dr Marny Lishman, Author, Speaker and Facilitator, Doctor of Psychology, Mindset Coach, Mental Health and Wellbeing Consultant, and Media Commentator to one of Western Australia’s most inspiring and important leadership conversations.
This breakfast welcomes both men and women. Because the conversation about women’s leadership and mental wellbeing belongs to everyone.
For women in leadership, that toll carries an additional weight.
That weight is real. And it deserves a psychologist.
Dr Marny Lishman is one of Australia’s most respected, most accessible, and most genuinely impactful voices on mental health, mindset, and the psychology of sustainable high performance.
As a Doctor of Psychology, her expertise is grounded in the deepest scientific understanding of how human minds work how we think, how we feel, how we respond to pressure, and what we need to function at our best over the long term rather than simply survive the short term.
She brings to this breakfast what every leader man or woman genuinely needs to hear:
✅ The psychology of sustainable leadership performing without burning out
✅ Mindset and mental health for women in leadership
✅ Practical tools for building resilience, clarity, and emotional wellbeing
✅ The hidden cost of leadership naming what we rarely talk about
✅ Self-care as a leadership strategy not a luxury but a professional necessity
✅ Media, messaging, and the public conversation about mental health in Australia
The most important investment any leader can make is not in their strategy. It is in their mind in the clarity, the resilience, and the psychological foundation that makes every other form of leadership possible. Dr Marny Lishman is one of the people helping Australian leaders make that investment. And on 5 March 2027, she brings that expertise to Fraser’s Kings Park.
This breakfast is for everyone.
Men and women are equally welcome at this table because the conversation about mental health, mindset, and sustainable leadership belongs to every leader who is carrying more than they let on.
Lead the Change starts within.
