Leigh White

Author, PR and Coach expert

I am a glass half full person, in spite of a number of significant obstacles along my way. I'm passionate about teaching others to live an inspired life, to be a change maker & share their lived experience or their innovations to make others lives better!

Background - I'm so thrilled to have found your podcast, the name says it all, positively impacting so many lives worldwide! Kevin's blog about GRIT resonated so much and I was very pleased to meet you and Brichelle in our initial video call (after I had reached out from Sydney Australia in response to your find a guest post in a podcast Facebook group.)

Since 2002 I've been a professional Media Advisor guiding change makers and business owners to share their story and impact the world, while increasing their influence and income. I have advocated government for systemic change improving the lives of children and young people in out-of-home care, which was immensely satisfying and is why I enjoy doing Public Relations advocacy.
I am also a Transformational Coach with background in mindfulness, trauma aware approaches and energy medicine.
In 2006, my life was changed forever when I lost my beloved brother by suicide. My whole world stopped overnight. Slowly I began to take steps and accessed lots of support. Yet I wasn't going to stand by and do nothing about this deadly issue and I co-founded a registered harm prevention charity, which still continues today.
I would love to share my story and inspire others to live a full life, grow past their trauma and to leverage PR and storytelling to impact the world for the better!
