Business can be stressful – but what impact is it really having on you?
At this year's Nillumbik Women in Business networking event, Dr Olivia Lee Ong – The Heart Centred Doctor, will share tools to help you recognise your stress patterns, and how to regulate your nervous system to build resilience, emotional intelligence and self-compassion to thrive in your business and in life.
Dr Ong will draw from her own incredible story of determination to get her life back following a traumatic spinal cord injury, highlighting that even the greatest challenges can be overcome when we listen to our bodies.
Nillumbik Mayor Cr Naomi Joiner said Council was proud to welcome Dr Ong as the keynote speaker for the 2026 Women in Business networking event.
"Dr Ong is an inspiring, compassionate and powerful voice on resilience and wellbeing and her story will deeply resonate with local business women," Cr Joiner said.
"Her lived experience combined with her professional expertise offers a meaningful and practical perspective on managing stress, building resilience and leading with confidence."
With her memoir Back On My Feet, just being released, Dr Ong will feature on ABC's Australian Story in 2026, positioning her as an in-demand voice on resilience, leadership and human performance.
The first 100 registrations for this event will receive a free copy of Dr Ong's first book, The Heart-Centred Doctor, where she shares principles, strategies and tools to manage stress and avoid burnout
