MEET ANNA TORUN
A strategist and certified coach with a background in business psychology and psychometrics, I bring nearly two decades of experience in leadership development, organisational change, and culture transformation across industries and global markets.
Originally from Poland, I spent over a decade working in the UK and France before settling in Melbourne - bringing a global perspective and deeply human lens to the work I do.
I believe that resilient, sustainable leadership is the future of work - and it's already overdue.
Wellbeing isn’t a perk; it’s a prerequisite for sustainable leadership and thriving organisations. When care, clarity and psychological safety are embedded into how we lead, we don’t just feel better - we perform better, stay longer, and build cultures people actually want to be part of.
We can no longer afford workplaces that burn people out in the name of success.
I partner with organisations ready to do things differently; leaders who want to support their people and drive performance, without sacrificing wellbeing in the process.
Whether you're facing burnout in your teams, struggling to shift culture, or looking for a strategic wellbeing partner to embed lasting change, I help bring resilience, empathy, and psychological safety into leadership, systems, and everyday conversations.

WHY UPLIFT PARTNERS
Uplift means more than just feeling.
It means rising. Together.
I started Uplift Partners because I believe in the power of thoughtful, human-centred leadership to transform not just individuals, but entire systems. For me, uplift is about more than wellbeing - it’s about helping people rise into clarity, confidence and meaningful change, especially in moments that feel heavy or stuck.
The name also reflects how I work. Partners speaks to the way I support leaders - as a trusted thinking partner - and how I collaborate with a network of expert consultants across psychology, leadership, wellbeing and organisational change. No one does this work alone, and neither do I.
Whether you’re leading through disruption, rebuilding after burnout, or working to shift culture from the inside out - Uplift Partners exists to help you lead with strength, care and strategic clarity.
