Stepping Away From Disempowerment (S1 - #2)

“It is about cutting through and getting to the heart of what people really want and sometimes people don’t know, but most of the time, I’ve found that people already have some inklings, and they just need the space and the support and the tools to develop it.”

For our sixteenth episode, we sit down with Helen Babb, Founder & CEO of Yes Get It, an organisation that empowers and equips women with the self-awareness, confidence and practical tools to be bold and powerful leaders. She is also a Senior Associate (Inclusion and Engagement) in the Corporate Responsibility Team at the National Australia Bank.

Together we discuss the importance of creating spaces for women to connect, grow and support each other, determining where social impact sits in your career pathway and personal development journey and the role of corporate social responsibility in driving social change.

Power of Positive Narratives (S2 - #15)

“We can have a really inspiring conversation [around racial and economic justice], bring people together around a positive vision. Not just fighting against something, fighting for something, for the world we actually want to live in, that we’ve wanted to live in since we were born, that we want our children to inherit.”

For our fourteenth episode, we sit down with Tim Lo Surdo, Founding Director of Democracy in Colour, Australia’s first national racial justice advocacy organisation led by people of colour.  

Together we discuss the importance of political advocacy and campaigning, how Democracy in Colour is working to dismantle structural racism and how to be a strong ally for a number of impacted communities.
