Named as one of Australia’s 100 Most Influential Women by the Australian Financial Review, Holly has delivered a Peace Charter to the Dalai Lama and has interviewed the likes of Barack Obama, Richard Branson, Billie Jean-King and Condoleeza Rice. She is a globally renowned keynote speaker and author of Leading Edge (released July 2021). We discuss the power of working out your WHY, tokenism around the gender diversity conversation, the vulnerability of releasing your first book and we question the impact of ‘cancel culture’ contributing to the stall in female leadership gains. We also love a bit of alliteration. Courage, curiosity and Canberra!

Adam has written three books, including his latest “The CEO Test: Master the Challenges that Make or Break All Leaders” and is a senior adviser for Organisational Character and Leadership at Columbia University.

Sally is the COO & CFO for Culture Amp, the world’s leading employee experience platform, with over 4,000 business customers in 47 countries. Her roles have included CEO of AMP Bank and CFO for Business & Personal banking at NAB. Sally serves as a Director of Rising (formerly the Melbourne International Arts Fe
stival) and a Director for Chief Executive Women.
Sally, like all of the amazing leaders in this series, also has her own inner voice of doubt. She has even named that voice.
I loved this conversation. Sally is clear on the personal power leaders have to make change, she has never forgotten how hard it is to succeed in a world not designed for you and is doing something about it.

Mani won the 2021 Women’s Agenda Leadership Award for Emerging Leaders in the Private Sector. Mani Thiru has written her own script.
She is a visible advocate for STEM, is passionate about space development and is a true global citizen after fleeing Sri Lanka as a child.
Mani fled Sri Lanka with her family, grew up in Zimbabwe and New Zealand, worked in The Netherlands, Australia and now Singapore. Working in the Aerospace & Satellite Solutions team at Amazon Web Services and serving on the board of SmartSat CRC’s Artificial Intelligence for Space, Mani shares how an introvert who feels most comfortable expressing her voice through written word navigates her career.
Together we discuss the strong female leaders she saw in Europe, Christine Holgate, the toxic male culture in parliament and the necessity of doing nothing and getting into a flow state to nurture our creativity and gain clarity.

Two incredible women, who have not stopped bouncing off of each other since the day they met. Individually they are seriously impressive. Together they are solving some of the world’s greatest challenges through a combination of mind-blowing technology and mindsets.
They are driven by the challenge of making a positive impact on a billion people. They are well on their way as Co-CEOs of Singularity University, Australia.
In a Brave Feminine Leadership first, the three of us talked about showing up as your best self, which area of your personal life has scarcity and how it is impacting your leadership, nano robots, the ripple effect of a simple question, gratitude and insatiable curiosity.

Hunter Johnson is the Founder & CEO of two purpose drive organisations. The Man Cave, an emotional intelligence charity that has impacted the lives of 20,000 young men across Australia and STUFF™ a men’s personal care brand that champions healthy masculinity.
Hunter’s work has led him to speak around the world including presenting at the United Nations. Government House and the Human Rights Commission. Hunter is tackling gender diversity from the lense of the traditional, stoic and stale scripts that men inherited as culture. We talk about rites of passage that don’t exist anymore, delayed adolescence and the lack of male role models.
I left this conversation filled with so much hope. It truly made my day.

She could be talking about gender diversity. She isn’t.
1 in 5 people in Australia are living with a disability. Lisa recalls the good old days when gender was her only barrier.I loved talking to Lisa. She has been the “tick a box” board member, has taken risk after risk she shares her extraordinary experience of overcoming a massive life changing event.

Sarah was appointed Managing Director of Officeworks in January 2019. Prior to joining Officeworks, Sarah worked across many areas of the Coles Group in positions including Financial Controller and State General Manager, Victoria. Before joining Coles, Sarah worked in the UK for more than 10 years holding a number of senior positions in banking and airports.
Sarah & I talk about the incredible line of strong females in her family. (Google Lady Mary Colton before you start the interview!) We discuss the importance of building influencing skills early in your career, that breadth matters when it comes to career opportunities and what a disaster social media can be when you have a strong & often critical internal voice.
Sarah is part of a two CEO family with 3 young children under nine. (Even as I type this I am fascinated why it is often part of the intro for women and not men).
