Wayne Enright
|
Wayne specialises in leadership, team and personal development; holistic wellness programs; therapeutic adventures in nature; and life-transforming adventure travel experiences. Over 30 years he has honed the art of experiential learning, story-telling and creating challenging self-exploration journeys that transform individuals and organisations.
After graduating in 1984 from UniSA with B. Ed Degrees in Physical Education and Biology, Wayne continued post-graduate studies in counselling, group work, Psychosynthesis, Accelerated Learning and Facilitation Mastery.
In the mid80s Wayne managed a large wellness facility in Adelaide and facilitated Executive Retreats on Kangaroo Island. From 1988 he devoted 12 years to Corporate Health and Organisational Development, working with large international companies, government departments and small business. In the Year 2000, Wayne continued in this field as an independent consultant, founding Free Spirit True North (originally trading as Healthy Teams) with his partner Gabrielle. Wayne has a keen interest in Outdoor Leadership and enjoys bushwalking, sailing, kayaking, rock climbing and snow skiing when he gets the chance. Wayne and Gabrielle, now married for over 30 years, have two adult sons and a dog called Tom who loves to support counselling clients.
Wayne has been a student of the martial arts for 30 years and has a keen interest in the personal growth and philosophical aspects of the arts. Wayne also volunteers as an Adventure Therapy Team Leader, helping young people at risk with the Operation Flinders Foundation. He currently serves on the foundation’s Clinical Advisory Committee and is Deputy Chair for the Australian Association of Bush Adventure Therapy.
In 2003, Wayne ventured to the Kokoda Track in search of answers to a speech disability that threatened his professional speaking career. This led to the establishment of Free Spirit Adventures. In 2018 Wayne completed his 30th crossing of the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea and over the last 15 years has guided many journeys to other countries around the world with Gabrielle. After losing his voice Wayne authored an e-book titled: Living Balance - A Journey to Wellness, a coffee table book titled Kokoda - A Journey of the Spirit and in 2017 Wayne published a tribute to his close friend Mark Auricht who died on Mt Everest in 2001 - The Spirit of Adventure Calls: A Compass for Life, Learning & Leadership, is a tribute to Mark Auricht's inspiring life and legacy and encapsulates much of Wayne's personal journey, his many adventures and what he has to share as an inspiring speaker on Leading Teams Through Challenging Terrain.
More recently, Wayne has been chosen to design and co-facilitate a new leadership development program for entrepreneurs in South Australia's growing 'Start Up' eco-system and is becoming more involved as a mentor for other outdoor educators.
