Graeme Cowan helps leaders and teams to be more caring, resilient, and growth-oriented.

In his earlier career he worked in senior leadership positions with Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, and AT Kearney.

He is the author of 4 books, including the internationally acclaimed BACK FROM THE BRINK, which has a testimonial from the former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, and which has become a best seller in China.

He attributes his writing prowess to religiously reading every edition of Rugby League Week when he was in Year 12.
