Welcome to the first episode of 2023! In this solosode I’m contemplating some big themes - from what does it mean to be Australian (or any nationality!) to the challenges we are facing down this year and the leadership priorities that will help us navigate them.
I also reflect on my recent travels, the new perspectives gained, the trends identified and potential solutions. Plus, the books I’ve loved - and hated!
