As a “get to know you” - we should each do “First Job/Worst Job”, talking
about our first ever job and the job the job from hell we once had.

 

INTERVIEW: Lisa Alexander, elite coach

World Championship winning coach with Australia’s netball Diamonds, Lisa
Alexander recently made headlines when she veered way out of her
perceived lane and applied for the vacant head coaching job at the North
Melbourne Football Club in the AFL.

The response was a quick thanks, but no thanks. The world title winner
wasn’t even offered the courtesy of an interview.

Lisa discusses the barriers and challenges women still face in breaking into
male dominated industries and the structural and unconscious bias that still
excludes women from doing jobs they’d love to do.

The way we work, how work is changing, how it used to be and what it might look like in the future.

It’s about who we work with, and who we work for.

It’s a discussion about the conditions in which we work and the demands of a job.

It’s talking about how it can be the best thing in our lives and also the worst.

Work can give us meaning and satisfaction, it can be the most challenging thing we’ve ever done and the most soul destroying days of our lives.

And that can all be in the same week!

Above all, we want to talk about work in a way that helps make work better for everyone
who listens.
