In this episode we are going to look at my journey of being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis from a work perspective.

For those of you that don’t know, for the past 15 years I have worked full time in the finance department of an amazing not for profit organisation in the Community Health sector. And in this episode, I had the great pleasure of chatting to my manager, Gavin Thompson of 10 years and I must say, this conversation is full of treasure!

Gavin has held a range of senior finance positions across not for profit, corporate and international sectors. He has worked in financial management in the homelessness and community service sector as well as roles in a variety of industries such as Aerospace, Investment Banking, Software Development, Retail Banking, Hotels and Trustee services.

Gavin has skills in providing strong financial stewardship to organisations while maintaining a co-operative and helpful approach to aid service delivery programs.

Gavin holds a Bachelor of Business, is a Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors and is a Certified Practising Accountant (CPA).

Gavin is also on the committee of the Baw Baw Food Hub.

In this episode Gavin shares his journey and why he chooses to work for a not for profit organisation in the community health sector, we chat about sick leave and how taking sick leave could mean something else, I share the challenging moments I experienced throughout my career and how Gavin’s support helped me navigate this, we discuss disclosing my diagnosis and the impact this had, we chat about values, outcomes, being curious, asking questions, listening, philosophies, emotional intelligence, empathy, understanding whilst being a leader and how offering options rather than solutions assists in having open conversations. Gavin shares some tips based on his personal and extensive experience on how to support others during challenging times, we chat about teams, good faith and trust and you will also hear Gavin share some of his favourite organic eateries in Melbourne – there is truly so many gold nuggets and vital information in this episode! Let’s dive in!
