When Peggy O’Neal AO emigrated from the United States to Australia in 1991, she had no idea she was about to fall in love with a community and a game that would shape her new life. Perhaps it was fate that she moved to Richmond in Melbourne’s east, donned the local team’s footy jumper, and learnt about footy tipping – all moments that would eventually lead her to become the first woman in AFL history to serve as a club president at the Richmond Tigers. Peggy, who is a superannuation and financial lawyer, broke that glass ceiling but admits there is much more to do and says being deliberate in striving for gender equality in leadership is always front of mind. While sport is one of her passions, education is another – values instilled in her by her parents when she was a child – and she now gives back as Chancellor of RMIT University, and you heard it here first, Peggy is writing a children’s book!

If you had to grab two things from a burning building, what would you choose?

 

Co-hosted by Jack Riewoldt and Shane McCurry, TWO AM I is redefining modern leadership, one convo at a time. We invite extraordinary individuals to tell their story through two objects. Big or small, trinket or treasure. Two things that explain who they are, and what matters to them.

 

Think of us like a supermarket for knowledge: tune in, grab what you need, then apply it in your everyday life. From sports champs to journalists. Builders to coaches. CEOs to musos. These are the fresh takes on leadership that don’t usually make the headlines.

TWO AM I
