Tania de Jong AM Inspirational speaker, performer, MC, creative alchemist and workshop leader
Tania is one of Australia’s most dynamic award-winning social entrepreneur. She is a global speaker, singer & innovator working across the business, government, creative and community sectors.
Tania’s discovery of psychedelic medicines has been pivotal in her own personal journey and more recently in her leadership initiatives. It led to the development of her fourth charity (with husband Peter Hunt AM), Mind Medicine Australia. Mind Medicine Australia made global history in 2023 through its successful applications to the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), leading to the rescheduling of psilocybin and MDMA for the treatment of depression, PTSD and other mental illnesses. On February 3 2023 Australia became the first nation in the world to reschedule these medicines for clinical use and over 80 patients have received psilocybin or MDMA assisted therapy in 2024. This marks the first timethese transformational therapies have been made available a clinical environment in over 50 years!
Tania speaks around the world on leadership, purpose, creativity, curiosity, innovation, disruption, wellbeing and mental health, building community, the Future of Work, generosity, diversity, inclusion, social entrepreneurship and philanthropy, psychedelic-assisted therapies and the neuroscience of singing. Her TED Talk ’How singing together changes the brain’ sparked international interest. Tania has also been named in the 100 Women of Influence, 100 Most Influential Entrepreneurs in Australia, and in the 100 Most Influential People in Psychedelics globally.
Her work is all about raising consciousness, and creating harmony. She helps prepare people, organisations and communities for a rapidly changing world and develop mindsets and skills to survive and thrive. Here is a link to Tania’s keynote topics and she is happy to customize to suit each event. She also MCs, leads team workshops, inspires massive audiences to sing and, of course, sings!
