True Power Cassandra Goodman

In this episode of True Power, I speak with Richard Brisebois, PhD. In addition to being a great friend and mentor, Richard is a multilingual, multicultural executive coach and a leadership development mentor who has worked with 7,000+ managers, leaders, and business owners in 40+ countries. Richard has been a visiting Professor and Guest Lecturer at 12 universities in 7 countries, delivering classes and keynotes in three languages. In this conversation, we dive deep into unpacking the question what does it mean to be ‘true to ourselves?’. We explore how definitions (of the term “self” and others) can bring clarity to one’s thinking and choices as well as help overcome conflicts based on misunderstandings. This was a rich (and at times challenging) conversation for me. Enjoy!

In this episode, I speak with co-founder and Vice Principle at AI Cubed Academy Dion Stojsavljevic. Dion speaks candidly about his realisation that his work as a high-flying tech executive was taking too much of a toll, leading to the insight that teaching had always been his true calling. Today, Dion is guided by his personal mission statement to 'Live with love, respect and faith. Learn with courage and wonder.' to provide a unique educational foundation for the next generation of innovators and leaders.

In the latest episode of True Power, I speak with my former Bupa colleague, dear friend, The University of Queensland Women in Computing Co-ordinator and Women in Technology award winner Kellie King about her realisation that the enormous pressures of a being a technology executive were causing her to show up in ways that did not reflect her true nature, how she advocated for more humane working conditions for her team, and pioneered a career path that honoured who she authentically was.

In this episode, I speak with Founder and entrepreneur Mia Bowyer about her realisation she had drifted away from who she really was, and her epic quest to shed the layers of herself that were no longer serving her to reach a place of self-acceptance, healing and clarity.

In this episode I speak with Briar Harte about how her childhood experiences have shaped her, and how her inner ‘fierce big sister part’ is a force for good in her work as a leader pioneering better accessibility and inclusion for people with disabilities and access needs.

In this episode I have a conversation that gets right to the heart of the challenges of having the courage to care, and staying true to ourselves at work with Chief People Officer Bill Sheffield.
