    Episode 1 | Turning Points: Leading Through the Hard Stuff with Christina Matthews AM

    What does leadership look like when things don’t go to plan? In our first episode of Still Learning, Leadership WA CEO Candy Choo and Dr Esme Franken from Edith Cowan University’s School of Business and Law sit down with Christina Matthews AM, former CEO of WA Cricket, to explore the turning points that shaped her approach to leadership. Christina shares candid reflections on leading through crisis, navigating change, challenging long-held traditions and learning to lead without relying on a title. She also reveals the two leadership practices that have stayed with her throughout her career: consistency and going to people rather than waiting for them to come to you. From the realities of the CEO-Board relationship to knowing when to stand your ground, Christina offers a refreshingly practical perspective on what leadership looks like behind the achievements. And, of course, we ask the question at the heart of every episode: What are you still learning? A conversation about resilience, courage, and why leadership is always a work in progress.
