#69 Christina Ryan - Girls, don’t be too polite

Join Christina Ryan and I as we pull the threads of her extraordinary career and discuss how the focus on gender is impacting women with disability, how our natural leadership qualities get damaged, burn-out and how to drive change based on the 3 incredible things she learned from her mentors. Christina has been an active leader in the Australian disability community for over 20 years, working at an international, national and local level to change the diversity agenda. Christina is the CEO and Founder of Disability Leadership Institute, established in 2016 as a professional hub to build and support our disability leaders and recognised as a finalist in the 2018 Telstra Business Awards in the emerging and energised category.
