Thriving Leadership for Thriving Communities

Examine Your Pebble Before Throwing it into the Pond.. 

Kat Baddeley – CEO, VRCLP  6 June 2018
Maree McPherson charged us with these thoughts as we kicked off our annual regional leadership summit in May this year. With a theme of “thriving leadership for thriving communities” held at Sovereign Hill, Ballarat and under the expert facilitation of Jason Clarke, minds at work we explored leadership of oneself, teams, workplaces and communities.

Maree asked us to take the time to understand our in inner self, therefore examining our own pebble then take time to understand our outer self, what do others see as your pebble. Taking the time to understand both will make you a more resilient leader.

FRRR CEO, Natalie Egleton shared her personal story of being an introverted leader and how they can make great leaders, Bob O’Shea Federation Business School discussed adaptive leadership charging us all with the task of keeping a reflective journal and sharing those reflections with others.

During our soapbox sessions delegates were tasked with moving around the 5 sessions being presented simultaneously and we had fabulous insights on moral intelligence, unshakable leaders, why you can’t pour from an empty cup to name a few.

Thank you to all of our speakers on the day who not only embraced the theme but enthusiastically donned ye olde costumes for the day.
