#42 Sally Bruce - Patience & playing the long game
Friday Feb 25, 2022
Friday Feb 25, 2022
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.

#41 ’Ubuntu’ - I am because of who we all are - Mani Thiru
Friday Feb 18, 2022
Friday Feb 18, 2022
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.

#36 Sarah Hunter - Your action influences generations to come
Friday Jan 14, 2022
Friday Jan 14, 2022
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).

Sally Haydon has managed 11,000 people across 3 countries. She has had a global career in Australia, the UK, India, the Philippines and Dubai, all driven by a passion for customers and leading people.
Sally shares with absolute honesty that for much of her career there was Work Sally and Home Sally. ‘Work Sally’ pretended to like golf and never really felt it was her place to speak up.
Together we discuss how it felt to find her voice, to show up as herself and the deep inner work she continues to do to find the confidence in herself.
I just think this conversation is fabulous. Sally is a wonderful, self-aware leader who is unapologetically ambitious and driven by Learning.

Friday Dec 31, 2021
Friday Dec 31, 2021
Gabrielle is a global expert in business storytelling and communication, an amazing keynote speaker and best-selling author of seven books. She also failed English.
Together we discuss the critical decision she made when faced with the disappointment of missing out on her dream role, the push a brilliant leader who listens can provide, and how an email from the Obama Foundation was so amazing that she thought it was a hoax.
Gabrielle is unapologetically herself and helps leaders uncover the added benefit storytelling can have on the teams around them.

#33 Bobbi Mahlab - Build your Community. That is where the opportunities are
Friday Dec 24, 2021
Friday Dec 24, 2021
Do you need confidence or courage? Join Bobbi and I as we cover an event that triggered a significant loss of confidence in her career. Bobbi Mahlab is a wonderful entrepreneur, social change agent, board member and philanthropist. She is the Chair & Founder of Mahlab Media and Co-Founder of Mentor Walks, a fast growing national mentoring program in which many of Australia’s most senior women participate.
