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.

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.

Reenita Das encourages all women to start boasting about their achievements. She was not raised to do this and it is time for change.
Reenita is a healthcare futurist and strategist, passionate about changing healthcare across the world. She was recently recognised in the top 100 women in Femtech and Healthtech.
She is the first female partner at Frost & Sullivan and is disappointed to see women in leadership going backwards in Silicon Valley. Reenita doesn’t sit back and watch. She uses her voice and takes action to drive change. Reenita has often been the only woman of colour in the room. Having lived and worked across 10 countries she has seen firsthand the challenge women have ensuring their voices are heard. She shares the way she found her voice – but cautions us not to do what she did. We discuss the ‘sisterhood’ in the 1990s as a highly competitive environment fighting for the one spot. Has it changed?

Julia Gillard famously shared some of the assumptions about female leaders, as “too soft, too emotional or too hysterical.” Corry Roberts knows what it is like to grapple with that feedback and manage the perception of stakeholders. Her open and vulnerable sharing of this will resonate with so many of us. Corry Roberts is the Vice President Land, Thales.
Corry shares the best advice she received early in her career - the value of seeking feedback and testing your thinking to both guide your own development and help others see you differently.
Sometimes it is hard to see the relevance of skills built early in our career. Corry’s experience scouring junkyards for spare car parts never appeared obvious, until it did! What skill do you have that you take for granted?

Are you perpetually busy, do you jump from thing to thing? Do you wish you could delegate better? Do you self-reject? You are not alone. Ricky & I cover a terrific resource to help us uncover the saboteurs that might be getting in our way.
Don’t talk yourself out of a job – find out how your mindset can separate you from others.
We cover how pulling apart any feelings of Imposter Syndrome you experience often exposes the weak foundations the beliefs are based upon.

Margaret is a Senior Audit Partner and the National Inclusion, Diversity and Wellbeing Leader at Deloitte and has been recognised in the AFR 100 Women of Influence.
Arriving in Adelaide in a key leadership role, Margaret was not prepared to hit the newspaper headlines. So rare was a female leader that it was front-page news.
From that point, Margaret has been a champion for women in the workplace.
Together we discuss; the desire to do good things and the self-doubt that holds you back, how vulnerable situations impact our ability to think logically and have a presence. We discuss the difference between a mentor and a sponsor, and the power of a sponsor who guides you on what not to do. Margaret shares how she finds her voice and why women are too humble.

Emma Dawson is Executive Director of public policy think tank Per Capita. She has worked as a researcher at Monash University and the University of Melbourne; in policy and public affairs for SBS and Telstra; and as a senior policy adviser in the Rudd and Gillard Governments.
Many mothers and caregivers express feeling that they are perceived as less reliable upon returning to the workplace after becoming a parent. While (typically) the Father is seen as less likely to leave and more reliable.
Emma and I discuss this key life stage as just one of the events that highlight the structural barriers that are still very much in place and hold women back from making the same choices as men. Emma is determined to shift the conversation away from “what is wrong with women and why don’t they lean in more?” We cover why Nordic marriages are happier and why the mental burden of Christmas shopping, school uniforms & lunchboxes is often the woman’s domain.

Dr Catriona Wallace reflects on her time as CEO of Flamingo AI, the second-ever female led company to list on the ASX. Catriona shares it was brutal and she did not want to be there.
Her partner Dr. Arne Rubinstein shared a book with her that sparked a passion and a journey. A female journey. Together we discuss the 7 stages of this journey including: Everyone thinks I am successful how can I admit I’m not happy, I’ve stopped feeling, I’m so unhappy, I need to strip everything away and head to a retreat in Byron Bay. Who am I? What am I here to do? Catriona shares some incredibly personal experiences and is so open and vulnerable in this conversation. She shares that she has had to go into the depths of despair to rebuild herself and the steps she took that helped her.
