About Graeme
TEAM OPTIMISM MATTERS MOST
In rapidly changing and uncertain workplaces, Graeme shares practical and proven advice,
that is focused on turning team care and resilience knowledge into action.
He loves being a professional speaker because sharing ideas can lead to
conversations, and conversations can lead to action and change. As a Founding Board
Director of R U OK?, he has watched this simple idea become an iconic movement.
As the host of The Caring CEO podcast, he interviews CEO’s who champion a culture of
care AND high performance. This includes the CEO’s of Adobe, Bunnings, Microsoft,
Blackmores, ANZ, Culture Amp, Deloitte, The Starlight Foundation, and R U OK?,
In 2000 he went through a 5-year episode of depression that his psychiatrist described as
the worst he had ever treated. He emerged from this crisis with a different view about how
we can increase our resilience, mood, and performance.
He is the author of 5 books, including the internationally acclaimed BACK FROM THE
BRINK, which has a testimonial from the former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, and which has
become a best seller in China.
He is also the Co-Founder of WeCARE365, which creates simple scalable eLearning to
help managers prevent and detect early any mental health issues.
Graeme Cowan helps leaders
and teams to be more caring
and resilient, and enjoy
growing together.

Our mood is determined by 3 things:
• Our genetics (which contributes 50%)
• Events (10%)
• Our daily activities (40%)
We have little ability to change our genetics or the
events that happen to us, but we can choose what we
do each day.
Employees in the Green Zone are 31% more
productive, 37% more influential, and 300% more
