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.
