What I’ve learned from Adam Goodes’ inclusive leadership
Last Sunday, my family and I went to the Classic Cinema in Elsternwick and watched a documentary titled The Australian Dream. My youngest son told me afterwards:” This is the best documentary I’ve ever seen.” The Australian Dream is a story about Adam Goodes, the Australian footy player and Australian indigenous leader. However, more broadly, it's the story about racism in Australia. 

​Revolutionising how women connect with transport
I was one of the happy few to meet George McEncroe - Shebah Founder and CEO talking about her journey. Shebah is Australia’s first and only active all-women rideshare service getting women and children where they need to go. As a diversity and inclusion practitioner and leader working in the transport industry globally for 15+ years, I was so inspired that, as soon as I was on my way home, I wrote this article to share my 10 learnings. 
How experiencing vulnerability harnesses​ our courage
Brené Brown held an inspiring show in Melbourne yesterday. She is a famous research professor at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work. Brené has spent more than a decade studying vulnerability, courage, authenticity, and shame. She is a superstar, I love her work, yet I wasn’t disappointed I couldn’t attend her show. I was actually in Geelong for the first time. Why would I be thrilled to be in Geelong while my idol Brené was holding a terrific show in Melbourne? 

Innovative framework to address diversity and inclusion

The 2019 Economic Nobel prize award gives me hope: after years of awarding theoretical achievements, the winners were rewarded for their experiment-based model to tackle real-life social issues. Their approach to economic development relies on a more rigorous evaluation methodology. The 2019 laureates distinguished themselves with practical ways to real-world trials. They transform economic development economy by breaking down significant challenges into testable clusters and study them like social scientists running clinical tests. ​

Putting people at the very heart of your mobility strategy to drive inclusive growth
Melbourne, June 2019
The Smart Mobility Show is a festival dedicated to the future of urban transport in Australia.
The emergence of new technology, in particular mobility, autonomous vehicles and smart transport is changing the way people move across the transport network. Ride sharing and other innovations offer the potential for the network to be used more efficiently. This trend is led by new thinking around services provided by trains, buses and other transport modes. A fundamental rethink of urban mobility is required to enable a truly connected, futuristic and on-time commute.

The Smart Mobility Show brings together the brightest minds that are building mobility infrastructure, smart transport and connected networks. The show features forward thinking experts that are re-thinking transport planning, infrastructure ownership and the delivery of fully connected services.
