Janelle Cuthbertson
I became an AFLW All-Australian on a leg I couldn't feel. Now I speak about what happens when finding a way through stops working.
Keynotes for leadership teams, workplaces, sporting organisations and schools.
Enquire about speaking
Adapting is a real skill, and it has a limit. I kept finding a way through for years, right up until I couldn't. Most of us don't find out where our limit is until we reach it.
"She reminded me that we should never let the labels placed on us define who we are. We are all human, and there is so much more to each of us than a title, or someone else's perception."
— Louise Beagley, President, Hills Rangers Football Club
What I speak about
"I'm Fine" — why the people who look the most together are often the least likely to ask for help.
When Finding a Way Through Stops Working — adapting has a limit, and it's better to find yours before something breaks.
My Identity Is Not My Outcome — separating who you are from what you achieve, long before anything gets taken away.
What the room leaves with
- Redefining success on terms they can control
- Noticing when "I'm fine" isn't true, in themselves and in others
- Checking in on the people who look the most together
