“People aren’t looking for perfect leaders; they’re craving authentic ones.”

Meet Glenn Marsden, one of Australia’s most sought-after transformative speakers and visionary leaders. As the driving force behind the acclaimed Imperfectly Perfect Campaign, Glenn is on a mission to redefine mental health conversations and cultivate a culture of inclusivity. His resilience to make a change came from not only losing a friend to the silent struggles of mental health, but the story could very well have been his own when he battled through body dysmorphia.

Glenn’s global movement has resonated with millions, shattering stereotypes and featuring over 500 renowned public figures from Australia to Hollywood and beyond. Under his dynamic leadership, the Imperfectly Perfect Campaign has launched numerous impactful initiatives, including two international best-selling book series, summits, workshops, and international events with celebrity ambassadors. By collaborating with prominent influencers and international organisations committed to social impact, the campaign has achieved a remarkable global reach.

Glenn not only shares his personal journey from starting with no experience, network, resources, or funding to leading successful events with celebrity ambassadors, launching best-selling books, and organising school talks and mental well-being events, but he also discusses essential topics on international stages. These include mental well-being, the art of storytelling for impact, and the ongoing effort to redefine mental health conversations. His work has touched over 12 million lives worldwide.

Beyond his philanthropic endeavours, Glenn is a passionate advocate for social equality, mental health, and well-being. His visionary leadership and unwavering commitment make him a truly inspiring figure on the global stage.
