Hey there! I’m Lana Johnston, founder of Ageing Connect.
I’m passionate about every person benefiting from strengthened connection and collaboration within their ageing loved one (ALO).
My expertise
Transitions in work and life, and the impact of strengthened connection with our ageing loved ones.
My experience
25+ Years as an Executive HR Practitioner, Board and Committee Member. Daughter in the sandwich generation who has navigated the loss of her father.
I’m passionate about every person benefiting from strengthened connection and collaboration within their ageing loved one (ALO).
My approach
I believe in the space of reflection and consideration of next steps shifts. It’s not about implementing drastic changes overnight, but rather about guiding people and organisations through thoughtful transitions. My approach combines strategic thinking with a deep understanding of human dynamics.
Key areas where I make a difference include:
My Professional Journey
My career has been a exciting journey of growth and impact. I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with a diverse range of organisations across Australia and New Zealand. From major corporations to government entities and innovative start-ups, each experience has enriched my understanding of what it takes to drive positive change.
What truly drives me is seeing the transformation in both individuals and organisations. Whether it’s helping an organisation navigate a required culture change, coaching an individual to take a different course of action, or guiding a team to embrace new steps, each success story fuels my passion for this work.

How I can help
I help Individuals and Organisations that support the ageing experience with best-of practice advice and offerings to reimagine the way we connect with our ageing loved ones.
Combining a deep knowledge of the people experience within organisations, with a sharp focus on human connection, I help remove the burden and support you to take steps to strengthen connection.
I’m passionate about reducing the regret that often comes from the lack of intentional time to connect and opportunity to make beautiful memories. With ‘Ageing Connect’ we know there has never been a more important time than now.
