Victor Perton is "That Optimism Man", whose daily habits include asking people, "What makes you Optimistic?" and "What's been the best thing in your Day?"

Victor is the Chief Optimist Officer of The Centre for Optimism, a think tank. He is the author of "Optimism: The How and Why."

Victor's research shows that infectious optimism is at the heart of good leadership, strategy, innovation, resilience and successful change and transformation. Small habit changes may be all it takes for a leader to be infectiously optimistic.

Victor deeply explored the connection between joy and optimism in 2023. He summarizes it as follows: "An optimistic spirit experiences more joy. A joyful soul tends to be more optimistic."

Victor's Masterclasses teach a magnetic optimism at the core of leadership.

Victor balances all this by serving as a Board Member of Yarra Valley Water and Chair of its "Leadership, Culture and Wellbeing" Committee. He is also an elected Board Member of Vicwater, representing the interests of water utilities and catchment management authorities.

He teaches "Great Public Policy" and related subjects at the Australian Public Service Academy.

Victor's life work has included eighteen years as a member of the Victorian Parliament, Trade Commissioner to the Americas, Senior Adviser to the Australian G20 Presidency and occasionally as a Barrister.
