Bryley Sadler

Name: Bryley Sadler
Faculty: Occupational Health
Title: Wellbeing at Monash Coordinator
Org Unit: Health Wellbeing Development and Monash Sport

How long have you been with Monash University?

Five months.

Prior to working at Monash, where were you located and what was your role?

I worked briefly in marketing at Deakin University. Prior to that I was the Health and Wellbeing Program Coordinator at the City of Melbourne, which allowed me to work on staff events and projects with a variety of work areas including the Lord Mayor’s Office.

What challenges are ahead in your current role?

My role is an exciting new position for the University. Within the next few weeks we will celebrate the end of the 10,000 Steps Challenge. This year we have 2000 staff eagerly counting their steps - a record! Following that my focus will turn to developing a five-year Health and Wellbeing Strategy. This will include a program of events and activities for each campus with the aim of improving the physical and mental health of the University community.

What is it about your job that holds your interest or is particularly satisfying?

Making just a small amount of difference to one person’s life. If I can provide the incentive, motivation and information to help just one of our staff to make improvements to achieve a healthy work/life balance then I will feel satisfied.

What is your favourite place in the world and why?

Phu Quoc Island, a small island about a 30 minute flight from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. There is a great place there that has no bells and whistles - just beachfront huts that overlook the stunning turquoise water.

What is the best piece of advice you have received?

Where ever you are in this moment is exactly where you are meant to be, no matter how things may seem to appear.

What is something about yourself that most of your colleagues wouldn’t know?

My family and I puppy-walked two guide dog puppies. Sadly, but good for us as we got to keep them as our family pets, they both failed. One of them was too excitable and chased peacocks around a women’s prison during testing!
