About The Author

Lisa Leong

Lisa Leong is the host of ABC Radio National’s This Working Life. Lisa is a former intellectual property & technology lawyer (Melbourne, London, New York) whose purpose as a broadcaster, media commentator and business consultant is to help people find the sunshine in work, in relationships and in themselves. Her work and ‘unique approach’ has been the subject of a Harvard Case Study and my TEDx talk: ‘Can robots make us more human?’. Lisa is a graduate of the Customer-Focused Innovation program of Stanford University’s GSB and the Stanford d.school, the Australian Film Television & Radio School, and the University of Melbourne Law School. Her superpowers are curiosity, creativity and delivering key messages by way of song.

Monique Ross is a journalist, writer, editor – and certified Nature and Forest Therapy guide. She worked across ABC News Digital and ABC Radio National for more than a decade, covering everything from federal politics to terrorist attacks and natural disasters. She loves helping people surface and share the stories they have within them. At the end of 2020 she branched out (pun intended), retrained, and founded Heartwood Nature Bathing. Her gentle sensory immersion walks support the health, happiness and healing of both people and the planet.
