Brave Feminine Leadership – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Welcome to the fifth interview in the 6-part CEO Series Visionary Voices, where I explore the CEO Mindset and path to success. This episode features Lisa Harrison, CEO of Suncorp Consumer Insurance, whose journey from the suburbs of Sydney to leading a major financial organization is both inspiring and refreshingly down-to-earth. Lisa opens up about the deep connection she feels to her organization’s purpose, and her approach to creating clarity and alignment with her team to drive impactful results. Her stories remind us of the power of resilience and learning from everyday moments, like early lessons from childhood that shaped her CEO mindset. Together, we explore the challenges of receiving positive feedback and how leaning into strengths—not just areas for improvement—can unlock growth. This is an honest and insightful conversation packed with takeaways for leaders at any stage. Enjoy!

Catherine Fox is an innate Optimist who thinks we can change. In her own words she is at a stage in life where she can say and do things that women in mid-career can’t. She makes no bones that we are far from an equal playing field. Join Catherine and I as we discuss the why that drives her, the hypocrisy that drives women into the ground, tokenism and how to get beyond box ticking. Catherine shares that in her experience the male leaders who really listen to the females in their organisation are often utterly shocked at their experience of working in the same organisation. Stop Fixing Women is one of five books that Catherine has authored. With three decades as a journalist and advocate, Catherine is one of Australia’s leading experts on leadership, the future of workplaces and the status of women. Her career has included interviewing management gurus, Nobel Prize winners and international CEOs. She has written five books, won a Walkley Award, presented at conferences and appeared in the media around Australia and internationally. I consider myself incredibly lucky to have had this conversation.

Sometimes it is as easy as making the decision. Peter Tonagh shares a story of a startup CEO who opted to keep roles vacant until he found the right female to keep their team balanced. This was just the beginning. Join Peter and I as we discuss dreams of being a fighter pilot, his five basic leadership principles, the challenge of providing tough feedback and why he doesn't believe you should mentor males and females the same way. He was formerly Chief Executive Officer of Foxtel, NewsCorp and REA and Partner of The Boston Consulting Group. Today Peter is a non-executive Chairman of ASX-listed companies, Deputy Chairman of the ABC and Chairman of Bus Stop Films - a not for profit organisation supporting inclusion in the film and television industry. Peter is a terrific supporter of female talent and I thoroughly enjoyed this thoughtful conversation.

One of the hallmarks of the leaders I spend time with, leaders who are driving real change, is incredible generosity. Liz Broderick stands out. Liz puts herself at considerable risk as a Special Rapporteur and Independent Expert of the United Nations Working Group on Discrimination against Women and Girls. Together we discuss that courage is a muscle, that shining a spotlight on problems is one of the steps to finding a solution and the truly fearful moments where Liz has asked herself if she is happy to continue. Liz almost needs no introduction for anyone in the Australian corporate landscape. She was Australia’s longest standing Sex Discrimination Commissioner (2007 - 2015) and has been instrumental in the development and implementation of a gender equality blueprint for Australia. She is the Founder and Convenor of the Champions of Change Coalition (formerly Male Champions of Change) a globally recognised, disruptive strategy for achieving gender equality. Liz is a Board member of the International Service for Human Rights and a member of the Global Institute for Women’s Leadership Advisory Council, Kings College London. Humble and passionate with a wonderful sense of compassion. Make time to deeply absorb her words.

Mark McGinley was nominated as a CEO Magazine ‘CEO of the year’ 2021. He will humbly tell you he didn’t win. Join Mark and I as we discuss how he delivered game changing results by elevating female leaders in his business. For him it was simply the fair and smart thing to do. Mark grew up in Belfast where everyone he knew had small businesses. It was in this landscape in the 80s that he was exposed to bomb threats while supporting his father’s small business. It toughened him up for a long and successful corporate career. A career that saw him transition from owning his own businesses to becoming a successful corporate CEO with market leading Great Place to Work results and a business ranked as Number 1 in its category. It also saw him relocate to Australia and realise a long held dream - I will leave that secret for the podcast. Mark McGinley is the sort of leader you can imagine working with. Driven to create a culture of belonging he has consistently focused on leading the individual and ensuring people get opportunities. Mark was CEO of Couriers Please from 2014 - 2021. Enjoy listening to a thoughtful, inclusive leader.
