Dr Helena Popovic

DR HELENA POPOVIC

 

Helena Popovic has been paving the way for a new paradigm in peak health and peak performance since receiving her medical degree from the University of Sydney in 1995.

 

A specialist in lifestyle-based diseases (which account for over 80% of all cases presenting to GPs in Australia), Helena shows both men and women how to achieve excellence in every area of their life – through education not medication. Her work has taken her across the globe from Australia, New Zealand and North America to Germany, Japan and India.

 

Helena has done extensive research on the brain, mind and motivation. She is one of Australia’s leading experts on neuroplasticity (how we can change our own brain) and mind mastery (how we can master our life by mastering our mind).

 

Helena has a talent for bringing science to life. She applies the latest research to daily life, health and business and shows how we can achieve extraordinary results.

 

Helena received her first speaking award at the age of 16 years when she won the City of Sydney Eisteddfod Singles Debating Championship. Her leadership skills were further recognised in 1984 when she was elected School Captain of Meriden School, and again in 1985 when she was chosen to spend a year in Japan as a Rotary Exchange Student.

 

Throughout her years in medical practice she lectured students, nurses and fellow doctors. She now delivers keynotes, seminars and workshops to people in all professions and all walks of life. She is vibrant, invigorating and highly entertaining.

 

It is Helena’s unique combination of scientific rigour, common sense practicality and playful personality that make her a captivating, inspiring and unforgettable speaker.

 

There are many speakers who make an audience feel great. There are other speakers who produce measurable results. With Helena you get both: people feeling fabulous and an increase in the bottom line.

TOPICS & WORKSHOPS

Boost Your Brain & Get Ahead

Most people work on building up and boosting their financial assets. But how many people work on building up and boosting their greatest asset: their brain?

The emerging field of neuroplasticity has shown that the brain can change its own structure and function. It can grow new cells, new circuits and new connections in response to what we do, what we think and how we behave.

We are far more than passive victims of our genes: we play an active role in how our brains develop throughout our lives. However most of us are yet to realise the enormous personal power this gives us.

For the brain to stay healthy and operate at its best, we need the right nutrition, rest, stimulation, challenge and reward. Most importantly, we also need to take charge of our thinking because our thoughts play an integral role in wiring our brains for optimal performance.

Turn Stress Into Success

Stress is an inevitable part of life.

Intermittent, mild stress is not a bad thing. It assists in building up our resilience and it switches on our adrenal glands to release performance-enhancing chemicals. However chronic or severe stress has a detrimental effect on our performance as well as on our physical, mental and emotional health. Unchecked stress is a contributing factor in every major disease we suffer and can lead to erosion of brain function, depression and obesity.

Turn Stress into Success explains how we can use stress to our advantage and turn stressful events into successful outcomes.

Peak Health for Peak Performance

Be prepared to get a new lease on life, to re-ignite your spark, and to have more energy and vitality than you ever remember having. This fast-paced, information-packed session reveals the key steps to consistently performing at your peak, and how to thrive rather than merely survive.

Everyone wants to be healthy and it’s obvious that peak performance requires peak health.

Yet the pace, pressures and demands of 21st century living are actively working against us being healthy. Exhaustion has become the new normal, and 80% of visits to the doctor could be prevented if we made better lifestyle choices. But how do we make those choices in an already overstretched existence? And what exactly are those health-and-performance-enhancing choices?

Dr Popovic spoke at our recent Staff Conference, Innovate for Excellence, hosting over 400 staff working in the aged care sector. Her presentations were energetic, engaging and resonated with our staff. We continue to receive positive feedback from staff on how they have put into practice her suggestions particularly on how to Boost your Brain. Her stories on the success she has had in supporting her father who is living with dementia were amazing! The information provided has stimulated conversations on how we can use this knowledge across our business. She is by far one of the most inspiring speakers we have ever had! -- Katrina George, Learning & Development Manager, BlueCross Community and Residential Services, May 2014
