Juanita Wheeler is passionate about seeking out great ideas
and sharing them with the world. A passionate storyteller, Juanita searches for
the story behind the headlines and the game-changing ideas for which people are
best known.
Juanita has been speaking publicly in professional settings
for more than 20 years - at major events, conferences, in board rooms across a
range of countries, and onstage in front of thousands of people. She is known
for her strategic, results-oriented thinking, ability to inspire, and trademark
full and frank style.
In 2013 Juanita left the multinational corporate world
behind and formed her own company, Full & Frank. Through Full & Frank’s
online courses and coaching services, Juanita helps executives, entrepreneurs,
thought leaders and changemakers to develop and deliver high-impact pitches and
presentations worthy of their great ideas. This naturally complements Juanita’s
role as the Executive Director of TEDxBrisbane, where she curates ideas worth
spreading to showcase to the world.
Juanita is an Adjunct Lecturer at the University of
Queensland, where she lectures students and coaches faculty on the art &
science of presenting. She is a Lifelong Fellow with the Atlantic Fellows at
the Atlantic Institute based at Oxford University.
Juanita says, “Bad presentations are the place good ideas go
to die.” She’s determined to ensure no great idea is lost to the world due to
an absence of strong presentation skills.
