David is one of Australia’s most respected and influential leaders. He was part of the original 8 male CEOs asked to be on the then titled Male Champions of Change, established by our longest serving Sex Discrimimation Commissioner, Elizabeth Broderick (2007 - 2015).
David & I discuss the main reason some leaders never reach their full potential, what the fundamentals of great leadership are and how you build a culture of inclusivity that values and celebrates the whole person coming to work. There is a real theme of courage and stepping out and not expecting things to be perfect. David also shares the times he needed to seek help and not do it alone. We also discuss why he felt he should step down from the Male Champions of Change.

I could not have enjoyed this conversation more. Juggy (Vice President of Consumer Health for TELUS, one of Canada’s largest Telecommunications companies) has an incredible passion in all that she does. She is thoughtful, deliberate, reflective and is on a lifelong growth journey. Oh and she is hiring. Listen to her specific advice for anyone over 50.
Together we discuss the gift of pausing and reflecting, why gender mattered more as she moved into senior roles and how to approach negotiating for your salary. Juggy talks about making it a priority to sit with yourself, to audit your most valuable asset and the questions you should reflect on.

Dr. Kate Mason is a storytelling debate champion who elevates womens’ communication through her coaching program Amplify, so they can lead with impact and authority.
Together we uncover how she created the perfect business (Hdgehog and Fox - USA, Asia, Australia) that combines what she loves with something she is good at and can be useful in! Kate shares tips on taking up the space and time you deserve, becoming aware of behaviours that minimise your impact and negotiating for a payrise. We cover “gender deafness” and ways to ensure your voice is one that is listened to.
What I loved the most was how Kate deals with her inner voice when it flags doubt or concern. Life changer.

Gemma has never understood the culture of not trying hard!
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for women and for 20% of patients, there are no known risk factors. Combining a career as one of the 4.5% of Interventional Cardiologists who are female, with a rewarding research career, Gemma says yes a lot and is driven to answer a question her patients regularly ask, “Why me?”.
Together we discuss the power of role models in medicine, two personal life experiences that gave Gemma the confidence to step off the direct path and follow her passions. We also discuss the influence of a wonderful teacher!

In this episode I interview Karen Beattie. Karen has had a truly global life. Born in Trinidad and living in Libya, Nigeria, Jakarta, Abu Dhabi and Dubai all before arriving in Perth as a 13 year old.
Karen started The Growth Faculty from a small Sydney office in 2003 and set about achieving her ambitious mission to give business leaders access to the world’s best strategic thinkers and high achievers.
Together we discuss how 10 years of persistence finally paid off, the power of "Commit and GO" and the recurring dream/nightmare that kept her awake for 6 months. Karen has provided access to some of the world’s best thought leaders including Jim Collins, Simon Sinek, Brené Brown, Malala Yousafzai and President Barack Obama. We discuss how Karen felt as a leader during COVID and how anytime you stretch your comfort zone there is a period of self-doubt.

Professor Laura Kray is a scientist and her research validates the lived experience of so many women. Backlash in asking for a raise, the B Word, pushover, difficult, never able to find the acceptable middle ground... and Laura’s latest research adds a new dimension to the gender pay gap!
I promise this interview will make you think. You might find yourself observing and asking questions like; Am I getting my fair share of the conversation? And realising for the first time that many of the experiences in your career are not personal - there is a much broader context.
A great conversation with someone who never planned to study gender.

Natalie Walker is a Kuku Yalanji woman who deflects every question I asked about her success.
Natalie is guided by her North Star and is justifiably proud of her work and the role she has played in creating a better world for disadvantaged Australians. Together we discuss the deep knowledge and wisdom grandparents share, growing up knowing that the world isn’t equal and fair, the influence of Halifax FP on her career goals and the sad moment that Natalie realised fixing the world one person at a time wasn’t going to be enough to influence change on a deeper and broader scale.
Natalie rarely says yes to interviews. I am so grateful that she did.

Kathryn is without a doubt one of the most highly respected leaders in Australia today. At 32 she asked the CEO of ANZ to commit to offering her a line role (managing a P&L) before she joined the organisation. Kathryn and I initially connected through sharing our common experience of receiving a Breast Cancer diagnosis at the peak of our corporate careers. Kathryn generously shares this, together with her straightforward advice on how to help yourself, why she is excited about her “Stellar 60s” and her view on the backlash against women on boards.

Jacinta’s husband thinks she is paid to have coffees all day and her Mum believes she can get the whole world a job.
Personally, Jacinta resonates with the Winston Churchill quote “If you find a job you love, you’ll never work again.” Jacinta is a country girl with a can-do attitude. It was spotted early in her career as she was backed time and time again in Hong Kong and New York to lead the way in establishing Interim Executive practices.
Jacinta has spearheaded the creation of the Interim Executive industry in Australia. She has been focused on it for over 20 years. Yet for many, it is the first time they have heard the term. Covid has given this new way of working its time in the sun.
Join us to hear a practical conversation that includes; tips on how to maximize your network by knowing your superpower, defines what a true network is and gives guidance on who is best suited to Interim Executive roles.

Food is Medicine. Cyndi O’Meara is a nutritionist, film-maker, bestselling author, speaker and founder of Changing Habits. She wants to speak to the women who are ready to help heal the world. Cyndi and I discuss the cynical farmer who took a lesson in health from his pears (yes, his fruit trees), the fact that change starts in the kitchen and the opportunity for women to lead this change. We discuss the amazing messages the world keeps sending you, encouraging you to stay on the path you are on.
In Australia today, 38 – 40% of kids have chronic illnesses and, in the 60+ age group, over 80% of the population have one or more chronic illnesses. If corporate Australia reflects the general population, then we are in trouble.
This interview is a change of pace. Take the time to listen to this one. Just don’t do it over Weet-bix.
