About Susan Davidson:

Susan Davidson is CEO of the Australian Diabetes Educators Association (ADEA). She previously held the position of General Manager NDSS with Diabetes Australia from 2009 to 2018, managing a budget of $42 million and overseeing delivery of products, services, education and assistance nationally to more than 1.3 million people with diabetes as well as delivery of education and information to health professionals.

In 2020, Susan led ADEA in the process of successfully advocating for access to telehealth for services delivered by Credentialled Diabetes Educators (CDEs). Changing circumstances during the pandemic necessitated significant and rapid change in delivery of these essential services, and ADEA played a significant role in managing through this period of change. More recently, Susan has successfully led ADEA through unification with Diabetes Australia, and is currently leading the development of a new approach to delivering education to health professionals in existing and new markets.

In her spare time, Susan is involved in community-building and events. Susan is a co-founder of the Braddon Collective, a Canberra-based community group which works collaboratively with local businesses, landowners, residents and the ACT government to maintain the diverse, inclusive and vibrant character of the suburb of Braddon, and enhance the environment for those who live, work and play there. Braddon has evolved over the past 15 years from an industrial area to a densely populated community with a unique, gritty character and a lively restaurant and business precinct, and the Braddon Collective’s purpose is to build place, community and connection.

227 Leadership strengths are an inside job first with Jeff Nischwitz

Shift your leadership perspective from intent to impact

Author and coach Jeff Nischwitz is not afraid of asking the difficult questions - of himself and the leaders he works with. This is critical for developing leadership strengths. Jeff believes in impact over intent, rigorous inner work and personal responsibility. In other words - going all-in, always. This commitment is how Jeff radically flipped his perspective to overcome crippling pain and walk backwards on the Camino trail!

Why you should listen: leadership responsibilities include the experiences of others

Cultivating a leadership mindset of ‘AND’ not ‘OR’
This is what extreme leadership ownership looks like
Leadership intent is not the same as impact: we need to take responsibility for how we are experienced by others

We explore leadership principles for doing the inner work

Fear-driven leadership behaviours
Assumptive leadership questions
The leadership journey to truth

Some experiences are pretty awful. We can’t wish them away. We can’t pivot from them. We can’t reframe them. We can, however, learn something from them, make use of them, and grow stronger as a result. Strategic planning, and the core of what we leaders need to do in current times of tension.

Positive thinking can be good. It’s just not everything.
Useful beliefs can help.
Using the experience as fodder for growth, after doing a thorough assessment, is key.

126 The importance of wise and compassionate leadership with Cindy Wigglesworth

Cindy Wigglesworth is best selling author of SQ21: The Twenty-One Skills of Spiritual Intelligence. Her work has had an enormous impact on my own perspective of leadership. The need to develop wise and compassionate leaders is needed more than ever. This is one of the most important interviews for leadership I have done so far. A must listen for those aspiring to make a bigger difference.

We discuss:

How the experience of divorce and raising a daughter was a profound stimulus for reflection and the impetus to explore better leadership
Why ego-driven leadership and its poorest forms of narcissism and self absorption is exhausting to be around
How leadership from the more expanded point of view the Higher Self attracts people willingly to follow you
The work of advanced spiritual intelligence as a continual practice
The calling “to be a light onto the world” is within us all, and the work we do can be the candle that lights the way for others
Why Cindy is grateful for President Trump as he has been a catalyst for Americans to examine the profound truth of how much racial divide is still systemic, and why there is still much racial and political healing to do in the USA
How Obama created the conditions that brought Trump forward
How we are all called to growth
The lotus flower blooms in mud, just as we can bloom through the muck and mess of our own lives
The role of a new thought Church to foster Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha
Why you need to have your BS challenges (belief system, as well as the other B.S.)
How emotional intelligence is the first thing to address as leaders: name the emotion, identify what triggered, and practice inserting a PAUSE between stimulus and response

125 How to avoid the intelligence trap in leadership with David Robson

Science journalist David Robson, author of the brilliant The Intelligence Trap - Why smart people make dumb mistakes, takes us on a wild ride through the stupid things smart people do, and why.

We explore:

Why real life human vampires are more deserving of compassion than scorn
How the ancient study of wisdom (and how to live our best life) is having a resurgence and renewal through the lens of Evidence Based Wisdom
How intellectual intelligence is different to rationality intelligence, and how this can be measured
The frightening condition of DYSRATIONALIA - when smart people think and do dumb things
How mindfulness is a step towards diminishing this trap
Why we need to get analytical about intuition
The importance of developing an emotional compass - this includes emotional awareness, differentiation, and regulation of emotions
How Brexit is the perfect example of motivated reasoning by smart people that drives greater polarisation
Benjamin Franklin’s moral algebra and its ability to immunise a little bit against motivated reasoning
How finding common ground and assessing the quality of the evidence in someone’s argument is the best method to avoid being polarising
If you are susceptible to “Pseudo-Profound Bullshit” (statements that sound profound but are really vacuous), you might need to take the cognitive reflection test
Emotional intelligence can be a bridge between intelligence and avoiding some major biases
Key tips to help avoiding the intelligence traps: curiosity, humility, considering the opposite viewpoint through the lens of evidence
Maintain a child-like curiosity, wonder and awe at the world.

Rachel’s Women Leading Change Events

121 Alcoholism and Sobriety in the workplace with Rachel Hind

What do you do when your social drinking becomes a crippling habit in a downward spiral of destruction? We can admit defeat, we can surrender, we can ignore it, or we can own it. Rachel Hind chose complete responsibility. Her journey to sobriety is one of personal honesty, radical self healing, and personal transformation shows great courage.

We talk about how drinking for middle aged women has increased 85% in the last ten years, the warning signs for the start of liver cirrhosis, how the first stage of healing begins with honesty with oneself, why pain and suffering can be the biggest opportunity for self empowerment, is alcoholism an addiction or not, the two very different paths for recovery, Jack Canfield’s model of E + R = O (event plus response equals outcomes), the switch from success based on external markers to success based on living according to one’s values, and how one’s quality of life is directly related to how much uncertainty one can deal with.

E22- What’s happening to men?

120 The importance of your past with Men's Life Coach Greg Gillies

What does it take to be a real man? Life Coach for Men, Greg Gillies, knows that it’s not what we usually think. It’s not about material success, business goal achievement, or a facebook narrative. He believes we need to clear the programming from our past so we can embrace the best of who we can be.

Greg shares his own downward spiral from successful executive and business owner to numbed out alcohol abuser through to renewed and liberated healthy male leader. He reveals how kinesiology and quantum matrix therapy helped clear his unconscious past beliefs so he could choose more powerful ones.

We take a deep dive into sympathetic nervous system dominance, the body’s natural healing system, releasing negative emotions and beliefs from our past, resolving conflicts in our brain,

118 How diversity can impact your leadership effectiveness with Christina Ryan

Imagine in the lift at the end of the day, being asked for the 8th time, 'so, what happened to YOU?'. People with disabilities are confronted daily with intrusive questions about the intimate details of their physical condition. Something we would not dare ask others. This is but one of the challenges people with disabilities endure every day. Disability leader and advocate Christina Ryan wants us to get beyond the discomfort of visible difference and get on with the job of talking leadership: how difference offers more viewpoints.

We explored disability as identity, disability disadvantage in employment, vertical development leadership through the lens of disability, the core attributes of disability at the leadership table (inclusion, collaboration, resilience, and innovation), how acknowledging the whole self including disability is fundamental component of spreading perspective and inclusion in workplaces and community.

E21 - Business and Community: An Advocacy Opportunity, with Susan Helyar, ACTCOSS

114 Inclusion is a key leadership responsibility with Yenn Purkis

Yenn Purkis is a non-binary gender person with Asperger’s syndrome. They are an author of 6 books, a TED X speaker, and a passionate advocate for autistic people and their families. From an early age, Yenn knew they weren’t like other folks, and was bullied mercilessly for being different. Academically brilliant, they were dux of the school, but not fitting in and being ostracised for it led to several early adulthood years spent in self destruction. Yenn emerged from this determined to be successful and fulfil professional ambition. With a published book in hand, they applied to many jobs and was successful to land one. This is the origin story of a remarkable individual who overcame being singled out for difference to becoming a public champion for inclusion.

In this interview, we explore what it means to be non binary gender, how to be aware of privilege as a generator of bias, how reading books is an excellent way to expand perspective and understanding of others, how becoming comfortable and aware of who we are drops anxiety about status, why diversity is a noun and inclusion is the verb or responsibility in leadership, how the intersection of elements of difference (like being non binary gender AND autistic) multiplies the challenge effect for inclusion, and how it is PRIVILEGE and not ‘norm’ that measures distance from center and influence. Reason to listen: learn about life from a different lens.
