Today, we're joined by Michael Donehue – a respected mental health advocate and a legend in the world of drug and alcohol counseling.
Michael's story isn't one of theory; it's one of lived experience. Having faced his own battles with mental health, he understands the darkness that many quietly carry and the courage it takes to ask for help.
Raised with the values and lessons learned on the land, Michael brings a grounded, authentic approach to supporting others. He has transformed adversity into purpose, using his experiences from the bush and life's toughest seasons to walk alongside people as they navigate their own challenges.
This is a conversation about resilience, vulnerability, hope, and the power of turning our hardest chapters into a way of helping others.
From the bush to the boardroom, this is Michael Donehue's story.
What is Bush to Boardroom - Earned. Not Given.?
I didn't learn leadership from a textbook. I learned it from country people who showed up, helped, and never left anyone behind. Where I grew up, there was a code: you look after your mates, you carry your weight, and you don't wait to be asked.
Bush to Boardroom Leadership takes those lessons from the country and brings them into schools, workplaces, and communities everywhere.
