Because anything and everything is possible, it sometimes just needs a little spark or some help finding the way
What was the most valuable thing you got out of CSL?
The program has supercharged my confidence in using my skills to create positive change
Why are you passionate about sustainability? What was the moment or event that made you decide to become a 'change maker' in your field?
My passion for sustainability is founded in a genuine sense of optimism and belief in our ability to choose a healthy, positive future. I love change, sharing passion and ideas, measurable outcomes, learning and lifes simple pleasures like the early morning bird chorus and skinks in the vege patch. I also have a lifelong committment to leading by example and reckon that I can mix this all up to effectively inspire others.
Why is leadership for sustainability important?
Because anything and everything is possible, it sometimes just needs a little spark or some help finding the way.
What do you plan to do next on your sustainability journey?
I have some exciting professional and personal projects underway with plenty more work to do on them. Now I can add to the mix the fantastic new network of amazing people and brilliant new tools gained through the program and keep on making great stuff happen.
