Michael J Perez

The subject is mental health, leadership and the business of being an adult, and Michael J Perez gets at all three through his own stories. A leader and trainer who has been through poor mental health, organisational change and performance management in both corporate and public sector roles. A coach who has guided people through behavioural interviews and the job search. Someone who supported his wife through recovery after a traumatic brain injury. He grew up in Perth in the 80s and 90s as the child of migrants, and the stories are comic, tragic and often both. Sessions include a Beyond Blue keynote, leadership through repeated failure, managing change, and interview coaching built on three stories.
