James Greenshields is the co-founder, with his wife Kirsty, of Resilient Leaders Foundation.

Together as a dynamic team, they have touched 1000’s of Australians with their open-hearted approach to life, and their positive example of how to live a life of impact. They’ve also reached 1000’s internationally through the power of social media, others’ podcasts, and have been regulars on some international radio and internet radio platforms.

James retired from military service in 2010, after returning from service in Iraq in 2006/7, as the commander of 100 troops. During his tour, his armoured vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb. When he returned, aside from his shrapnel wounds, most of his wounds were unseen. He experienced severe depression and post traumatic stress. This began the couple’s process of healing, to the point of post traumatic growth and beyond, which inspired them to eventually help others to heal.

At Resilient Leaders Foundation we use the term ‘Harmonic Leadership’, which is not a model, but a paradigm of leadership for a new world, outside of outdated systemic practices.

The Resilient Leaders Foundation is an Australian national harm prevention charity. All activities are aligned with the charitable purpose of the foundation and all donations are gratefully received and put to use. All programs and activities have been developed as a result of the desire to contribute to the prevention of domestic violence, youth suicide, depression and familial dysfunction.
