Juanita Wheeler has been speaking publicly in professional settings for more than 20 years - at major events, conferences, in board rooms across a range of foreign 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. Juanita has over two decades of experience, devising and implementing strategic solutions for a broad range of organisations. She has amassed experience as a nonprofit CEO, a board member, a global marketing and market development specialist, a political strategist, political and corporate negotiator, speechwriter, TEDx speaker and speaker coach. 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 presentations, worthy of their great ideas. This naturally complements Juanita's side-hustle roles as the Executive Director of TEDxBrisbane, and an Adjunct Lecturer at the University of Queensland, where she lectures in the art & science of presenting. 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. In addition to her years of experience, Juanita holds a Bachelor of Arts, an Executive MBA, and a Master of Business (Philanthropy & Nonprofit Studies). She is currently completing a Master of Social Change Leadership. Juanita is a Senior Fellow with the Atlantic Fellows program, managed by the Atlantic Institute based at Oxford University. The global program unites and supports fellows from across the globe, dedicated to accelerating the eradication of inequities for fairer, healthier and more inclusive societies.
