Hi I’m Donna Adams. As a Behaviour Change Specialist, Healthy Workplace Consultant and Executive Coach I help people break their own glass ceilings and thrive without burnout. I’m the founder of Southern and Business Leaders Circles.
Having over 20 years experience leading teams through change in Government, Not for Profit and Private sector I love bringing the best out of people. I bring unique skills of finance, leadership, mindset and wellbeing to challenge traditional approaches and bring practical tools to inspire action, connection, and positive change.
Enjoying 13 years in the disability sector I have experienced first hand the toll of constantly giving can have on the body and mind. Hence I am passionate about creating healthy workplaces where people can make a positive impact while also preserving their wellbeing and preventing burnout.
Our Leaders have the potential to create the biggest changes in our communities but often they are high achievers, working twice as hard due to mindset challenges like perfectionism, imposter syndrome and self-doubt. That is why I created the Leaders Circles to support business owners and leaders to make a difference without the inner critic and burnout. Connection, wellbeing, and achieving results are top values for me and this is the foundations of the Leaders Circles.
Having started my career as an accountant my fascination with human behaviour and wanting to help people reach there potential saw me go on to become a Master NLP Coach, Hypnotherapist, and last year becoming an NLP trainer.
I provide engaging, inclusive and insightful leaders circles, workshops and coaching programs to support leaders, teams and organisations achieve their outcomes through the power of neuroscience, leadership and wellbeing.

I’m a country girl at heart, that loves being at the beach to relax and recharge, but also enjoys living in the big smoke.
I completed high school in 2000 and in 2001 I started working for a Conveyancer in the Barossa Valley. I quickly learnt that this industry was my passion and in 2004 I decided to study part time while working full time, to get my qualifications to become a Registered Conveyancer. In 2008 I became fully qualified and then moved to the city the following year to further grow my skills and to move in with my partner. Moving to the city was very eye-opening and it allowed me to grow and learn a lot! After a small stint as a Front Office Manager for a brand new 4 star hotel, I eventually decided to start up my own business in 2015 and I have not looked back!!
In 2018 I married my best friend and then in 2020 as the COVID pandemic hit, we welcomed our little girl to the world. The struggle of juggling work life and motherhood became very real and extremely challenging, but slowly each day that goes past I feel I am getting the hang of it a little more.
Away from work and being a mum, I love being at the beach, I love hearing the sound of the waves and smelling that fresh salty air! Within minutes I can feel it starting to relax and recharge me. I also love motor sport, in particular watching the F1’s and hubby loves getting me involved in watching cricket and footy – I pretend I really don’t like it, but secretly it isn’t really that bad! I also love hanging out with close friends, enjoying great food and maybe a margarita or 2! Music is also my escape and dancing, but I am cautious on the D-Floor after breaking my foot dancing to “500 miles” in 2022 – so these days it is mainly done in my lounge room!
Overall, I am a pretty fun loving, easy going and down to earth girl who loves to have a chat and a laugh and to help educate others on all areas of conveyancing.

Hi, I’m Natalie. As a Mum of two gorgeous young adults, wife, Chief Executive Officer of an electronics manufacturing business and a registered counsellor and mindfulness/meditation practitioner, I understand the transformative power of integrating evidence-based strategies with embodied wisdom practices to create a life filled with meaning, purpose, and productivity. Having navigated through several of life’s challenges, I’ve experienced the pain of suffering, feeling stuck, and overwhelmed. This can result in low energy, disrupted sleep, headaches, digestive issues, chronic pain conditions, heightened anxiety as well as persistent procrastination and excuses. The key realisation is that life doesn’t need to be chaotic. Over 25 years ago, my own struggles led me to meditation, and after years of practice with various teachers and groups, it has profoundly impacted my personal, professional, and parenting life.
As a parent guiding children through the diverse terrain they experience nowadays about four years ago my youngest found herself challenged with her mental health state, this became quite a worrying and concerning time. I found myself feeling quite lost within the mental health system with feeling inadequate with my ability to support my child. This was the driving force behind the beginning of my latest formal studies. Thinking that if I felt this way many other parents must be experiencing the same thing and how can I make this better for not only myself but other parents facing similar traumatic situations. This led me to gaining a Post Graduate Diploma in teaching and guiding meditation and mindfulness (specialising in mental health) and most recently my Diploma in counselling.
I made the decision to juggle two jobs, as I am so passionate about supporting peoples mental health. Dividing 50% of my time to each business and also continuing to be a present, loving, caring and grounded parent and wife is a continued challenge but my daily meditation practice is my guiding light.
My mission is to share my insights to help others save time and potentially alleviate some of their suffering, so they can live a life that they LOVE.
