“Your mindset as a business owner and leader, and the mindset of your team - is your business’s greatest asset”

– Ash Bennallack

Imagine having a team that is engaged, productive and safe, and contributing to a positive work culture that delivers superior customer satisfaction...

At Thriving Minds Collective,

We understand the value and impact positive mental wellbeing can have on your team, your business and your customers.

Why is mental wellbeing such a hot topic for business right now?

Our world, and the employment and business landscape has changed.

We know that many employees who could 'work from home' were forced to do that during COVID. More recently, they have had to navigate being re-introduced into the office. This has created new emotional and mental struggles for our teams based around uncertainty, change and fear. Some employees have a sense of being forced back into a work environment that was from “yesteryear”, and they are experiencing frustration around having their worklife routines disrupted...agian. Many employees are questioning their career path, their options and the role that they want work to play in their life.

What has this led to?

This confusion and discontent in the workplace has seen many employees and small business owners not achieving their desired and expected results. This in turn has led to disillusion in their personal lives and impacts on our society as a whole.

03.

What is the government’s outlook on this?

Our governments are implementing guidelines and legislation (informed by ISO45003) to outline employers responsibilities to create psychologically safe workplaces, where mental health, safety and wellbeing is of the highest priority.

Whether you run a small or medium-sized business with 10 – 50 employees, right through to a large corporate firm of 5000…

There are 3 key areas to consider:

You know that the knock-on effect of positive mental wellbeing is instrumental in creating a workplace culture which is safe and performance-oriented.

You acknowledge that you have to comply with the guidelines and legislation.

You know that this requires an ongoing budget to provide the appropriate resources and training for your leaders and their teams.

With comprehensive training programs and support services which are designed to enhance the mental health, overall wellbeing and performance of you and your employees, our goal is to help our clients to create a workplace culture of safety and care, where individuals can thrive professionally and personally.

Meet Ashley Bennallack

Founder & Training Lead

Who is Ash?

Ash is a highly motivated business owner with a passion for working with people and seeing them thrive.

As a trainer, speaker and coach Ash works with ambitious business owners, executives and their teams, to protect their mental health and optimize their resilience and performance. This is achieved with a focus on wellbeing and ultimately creating thriving psychologically safe workplaces.

With over 20 years of experience in the corporate world he was a “super star”, heading up successful marketing teams, opening franchises and working as a resilience trainer in one of Australia’s leading banks.

He eventually ventured into the world of his own business and although successful realised that being a “super star” in the corporate world meant nothing when you are your own boss and your money is on the line every day.

With his experience, empathy and understanding Ash brings “real life experience to the real world”.

  • Ash is NOT a psychologist, psychiatrist, or counsellor.

    He is NOT a business coach, life coach or executive coach.

    He is NOT mental health first aid trainer, mental health advocate or influencer.

  • Ash has trained mental fitness, resilience, and performance mindset skills with over 1,000 clients in the last 10 years. This training has been done in-person and online and with various client groups including micro and small business, large corporations, community organisations, schools and professional athletes.

  • He trains peer-reviewed, evidence backed content under license from two global leaders in the industry – ‘Be Well Co’ and ‘The Michelle McQuaid Group’.

    He trains this content and provides tools and frameworks that are backed by rigorous research and used by the world’s largest organisations including GOOGLE, IBM, XERO, KPMG and many more.

  • He doesn’t make up his own programs, sprinkle in his own stories and examples and then charge exorbitant prices to re-brand and regurgitate the wisdom of others.

    This means that our clients don’t have to worry about wasting their budget or their own hard-earned money on ‘exclusive’ snake oil that promises much and delivers….less.

    When Ash is not training, speaking and coaching where are we likely to find him?

    When Ash is not sharing his passion, you are likely to find him being 'Dad's Taxi' for his 3 sports crazy kids, spending time in the gym, looking after his fancy goldfish, or running his exlusive mens health and cycling retreats in some of the most beautiful regions in Australia.

What’s Ash's promise to you?

Ash and his team will help you “make your mind your greatest asset.”

ASHLEY HAS
WORKED WITH

What we say about ourselves is one thing, what our clients say is what REALLY counts!

As an athlete I was lucky to have been given the opportunity to learn these essential skills in a small group of like minded, positive people. This course was a game changer to my performance…

- KATRINA, ATHLETE

I am not typically someone who has engaged with a lot of mental health offerings in the past. A key take away from the 5 week course for me was learning that there is a difference between mental illness and mental health. Donato, IT Senior Exec.

- DONATO, IT SENIOR EXEC

If you need to hit the reset button on any aspect of your life - the 5 Week Wellbeing Primer is the place to start!

- JAMES, IT CONSULTANT

For me there's Danny before the course with Ash, and Danny after the course with Ash. I am not the same person."

- DANNY, FRANCHISEE

I'm still trying to take it all in. I think this course will start me on a whole new attitude to life.

- JAMES, PUBLIC SERVANT

I was blown away with Ash and the way he made me feel welcome and made the content relevant

- JODIE, SELF EMPLOYED

A great frameork to use to help me work toward the success I want for my busniess and my personal life.

- MICHELLE, MARKETING MANAGER

Can't recommend Ash enough. Without completing his 5 week course earlier this year I would be in a far worse position mentally than I am now.

- COLIN, SELF EMPLOYED
