Meet Deborah
For more than 25 years, Deborah Connors has been bringing people together to learn, grow, and create healthier workplaces and lives.
As the founder of Canada’s Health Work & Wellness Conference, she welcomed internationally recognized experts from around the world, creating one of the country’s leading events focused on leadership, organizational health, and workplace well-being. Along the way, she became a sought-after speaker, author, workplace culture consultant, and trusted advisor to organizations across North America.
In 2024, a life-changing cancer diagnosis prompted Deborah to ask the question, “What next?”. As she began to put the pieces of her life back together, a new vision began to emerge – one that brought together her life’s work in an entirely new way.
Health Work & Wellness Journeys brings together every part of Deborah’s story: her passion for learning, her expertise in designing transformational experiences, her love of travel, and her belief that the most meaningful growth happens when people step away from their everyday lives to learn, connect, and explore together.
Today, Deborah curates immersive journeys that offer world-class learning in one-of-a-kind destinations, helping people return home with fresh perspectives, practical tools, and renewed purpose.
