As an employer, it’s now more crucial than ever to take proactive steps to address and prevent psychosocial risks in the workplace. What actions are you implementing to effectively manage workplace stress, combat burnout and promote holistic wellbeing in your team?
Burnout is rising. Psychological safety is being written into law, and one in five Australians is showing up to work with a mental health condition. The stakes are high, but so is the opportunity to lead with clarity, care and courage.
Balanced Elite exists for organisations ready to do more than tick boxes. Led by founder and high-performance coach Lucy Quick, our training and programs are built on two decades of corporate experience, lived recovery from burnout, and a deep understanding of what it really takes to shift culture.
This is about building workplaces where people feel safe, supported and empowered to do their best work, and where wellbeing isn’t a trade-off, but a foundation for sustainable success.
With warmth, clarity and calm, Lucy creates space for honest, engaging conversation while keeping every event running smoothly. Whether she’s facilitating a high-stakes leadership panel, guiding a keynote Q&A or MCing a full-day conference, she brings grounded energy that makes speakers feel supported and audiences feel at ease.
She’s trusted by founders, senior leaders and event organisers to strike the right tone, manage the flow and hold space with professionalism. The result is a seamless experience that feels inclusive, human and deeply aligned to the goals of your event.
Each session draws from behavioural science and lived experience to bring fresh perspective and lasting relevance to your event.
These aren’t surface-level presentations, they’re thoughtful, strategic and grounded in what today’s audiences need to hear and feel.
Every keynote, panel or hosted event is shaped around your audience, goals and format to ensure it lands with clarity and connection.
Lucy’s keynote was incredibly engaging and impactful. Attendees appreciated her calming presence and the focus on burnout awareness, especially the practical tips for self-care and mental health. We can't wait to have her back next year!
After nearly 20 years of running events, the session we brought Lucy in for, focused on burnout, was the best we've ever held. Her BRAVE framework, genuine storytelling, and engaging presence truly captivated the audience. Attendees said it was the best event they’d ever attended, and Lucy’s passion and depth of knowledge shone through. It was our second time working with her, and definitely won’t be the last.
Lucy is a captivating speaker who knows how to hold a room with warmth, clarity, and energy. She’s not only engaging on stage but also incredibly professional and easy to work with behind the scenes. Prompt, organised, and responsive, she made everything run smoothly.
I highly recommend her as an MC or keynote speaker, she brings impact to every moment.
