#38 Lisa Cox - Recalling when gender was my only barrier

Lisa Cox is an award-winning writer, author and media professional. Lisa has successfully fused her academic and professional background with her personal experiences to be the leader that she is today. Lisa is on a mission to change social attitudes and stop stereotypes. Lisa shares that she is dreaming of a time when she doesn’t have to advocate so strongly because we all just get it. We all know that of course it matters, of course it is important. She could be talking about gender diversity. She isn’t. 1 in 5 people in Australia are living with a disability. Lisa recalls the good old days when gender was her only barrier.I loved talking to Lisa. She has been the “tick a box” board member, has taken risk after risk she shares her extraordinary experience of overcoming a massive life changing event. -----------------------   Craving inspiration?
