In conversation with Member of Parliament, Rebecca White Realising Your Potential

Welcome to a new series of Realising Your Potential.

Every week Anj speaks to inspiring women about their leadership journeys, the challenges they’ve faced and the lessons they’ve learnt. Together they explore what organisations can do to drive gender equality and how we can all realise our potential.

This week Anj speaks with Rebecca White Member of Parliament to discuss the gender stereotypes Rebecca faced when first starting out in politics, why Rebecca gets grumpy when people say quotas aren't a good thing, speaking in parliament with her baby and the pivotal moment that gave her the confidence to run for parliament.

Rebecca White was elected to the Tasmanian Parliament in 2014 and subsequently became the youngest female leader of a political party in Australia. Since being elected, Rebecca has been appointed as Shadow Minister for Human Services, Community Development, Women and Aboriginal Affairs.

Rebecca is passionate about creating more equality and opportunity for Tasmanians and promoting women into leadership positions.

We believe in the power of conversation and gaining new ways of thinking that inspire, educate and empower you to Realise Your Potential.
