The Whisperer Team

22/12/2025

A shout out to Tamara, Leigh and the team at Willunga Golf Course who are the first Fairway Whisperers.

If you are struggling with su***de distress, a round of golf accompanied with a good conversation can save a life.

And if you're playing a round of golf alone, the team behind the bar at the 19th can have a chat and/or contact a Community Whisperer in the area to be with you.

Simply pick up one of the orange GLASS EMPTY coasters and either deploy the signal (an upturned glass with a coaster on its arse) or hand over the coasters to one of the staff to start the conversation.

Coming into Christmas we are aware that it can be a very tough time of the year. And it's a time when su***de rates go up.

The team at the Willunga Golf Course care for their patrons. We need more venues like these to show us what community and connection is all about.

Thank you Willunga Golf Course team for being an ear to hear for those during tough times. ⛳ 💙

Jono, founder of The Whisperer Team, was invited onto a podcast this week.

Vogliamoci Bene is presented by Mario Corena at Radio Italia 531 in Adelaide, South Australia.

He's doing a lot of great work in this space of su***de prevention and is aiming to get a major initiative for sufferers of eating disorders off the ground.

We discussed how GLASS EMPTY and The Whisperer Team came to be and where to from here. Some of the golden nuggets I've gained and what have been some of the learnings and challenges so far.

Well said!

BREAKING: Sharon Osbourne “torches” Mark Zuckerberg and other billionaires right to their faces for their greed — and then proves it with action

At a glittering charity gala in Manhattan, Sharon Osbourne, television icon and outspoken philanthropist, stunned a room full of the world’s wealthiest elites by doing what few would dare — speaking truth to unimaginable power.

The event was meant to honor Osbourne for her humanitarian efforts, but instead of delivering a polite acceptance speech, she looked directly at billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk and said, her tone sharp and unwavering:

“If you can spend billions building rockets and metaverses, you can spend millions feeding children. If you call yourself a visionary, prove it — not with money, but with mercy.”

The ballroom fell silent. Cameras caught Zuckerberg staring at his table, expressionless. But Osbourne didn’t stop there. She went on to announce that she was donating $8 million from her television and foundation earnings to fund housing and mental health programs for struggling families in Los Angeles.

Her final words hit like thunder:

“Greed isn’t strength — compassion is.”

The Glass Empty Signal

In the hush between conversations,
where worry hides behind a smile,
a quiet cue is placed upon the table—
a glass, turned empty for a while.

No shout, no cry for rescue,
no trembling words to say I’m not okay.
Just the softest sign of needing someone
to notice the night has slipped sideways.

It isn’t weakness, nor defeat,
but a lantern lit in a gentle way—
a message whispered without speaking,
Could you stay with me today?

And when another sees it, truly sees it,
they don’t rush in with noise or fear;
they sit, they breathe, they share the moment,
making space for someone dear.

For sometimes all a soul requires
is presence warm and understanding,
a hand that steadies, a heart that listens,
a friend who comes without demanding.

So here’s to signals softly given,
to courage wrapped in simple form,
to the glass left empty on the table—
a beacon in an unseen storm.

And here’s to those who answer it,
with kindness quiet, steady, true;
for in the smallest acts of noticing,
lives are held—and carried through.

A lighthouse doesn't search for ships, it warms sailors of the rocks ahead.

I believe a Whisperer doesn't search for lost souls, they warn people they're approaching dangerous territory and by showing up in these moments of distress, they shine their light ... to help someone avoid disaster.
